Leveling Grill for Grease Drainage

• For proper grease drainage, the grill should be level left to right and angled slightly to the

front. The bubble level on the plinth will indicate whether or not grill is level.

• If ground is uneven, use leveling blocks provided and place as needed under feet to level the

grill. In soft ground, such as beach sand, press the angled feet into ground to level the grill.

• When using grill with legs folded, place leveling blocks upside-down under each rear leg.

General Grill Cleaning

• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas

grills are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of
detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom.
Rinse and allow to completely air dry.

Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to

painted surfaces.
Plastic Side Shelves:

• Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use citrisol,

s

abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic side shelves.
Damage to and failure of shelves can result.

• Non-Stick Cooking Surface:

Turn grill off before cleaning. While still warm, pour a cup of
water over cooking surface to loosen grease and food particles and to speed cool-down.
Use supplied cleaning comb to scrape off excess grease and food particles. Wipe cooking
surface with a paper towel or sponge. Once completely cool, cooking surface can be
removed and washed with warm soapy water or placed in dishwasher.

• Grease Bottle:

After each use, remove bottle and rinse with hot soapy water.

Food Safety

Food safety is an important part of enjoying the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe
from harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps:

Clean:

Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water before and after handling raw

meat and poultry.

Separate:

Separate raw meats from ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a

clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.

Cook:

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a thermometer to ensure proper

internal food temperatures.

Chill:

Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.

How to Tell if Meat is Grilled Thoroughly

•

Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the outside. Use a meat
thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature and cut into food to
check for visual signs of doneness. NOTE: Do not cut into food while it is on the grill’s
cooking surface. This may damage the cooking surface. Move food to a plate to check,
then return it to the cooking surface if necessary.

•

Poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° F. Juices should run clear and flesh should not
be pink.

•

Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should reach 160° F, and be brown in the
middle with no pink juices. Beef, veal, lamb, steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to
145° F. All cuts of pork should reach 160° F.

•

NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Cook food completely to
destroy harmful bacteria.

•

When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot dogs, grill to 165° F, or until
steaming hot.
