CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Regularly clean your grill between uses and especially after extended
periods of storage. Ensure that the grill and its components are sufficiently
cool before cleaning.
• Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands.
• In order to extend and maintain the life and condition of your grill, we
strongly recommend that the unit be covered when left outside for any
length of time, especially during the winter months.
Care and Cleaning:
1. A good grill scrapper is essential for easy clean up.
2. Most foods can be cleaned up by scraping and wiping down the griddle
with a paper towel and cooking oil to prevent rust.
3. To remove tough food residue you can use a mild cream cleaner and pad.
You can also use soapy water or a paper towel and
cup of table salt as
another method of cleaning your griddle. Rinse well and dry to prevent
rusting. Since the griddle surface is steel, you should protect it from
moisture. To do this, spray the griddle with a light coating of vegetable oil
and store in a dry area.
4. Periodically, griddle should be cleaned with a griddle brick or SOS pad.
Burner maintenance:
In most circumstances, burning off the residue after cooking will keep the burner
clean. The burners should be removed and cleaned annually or whenever heavy
build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects)
in either the burner portholes or the venture tubes. Use a pipe cleaner to clear
obstructions. A wire brush can be used to remove corrosion from the burner
surfaces. When refitting the burner, be careful to check that the venture tubes of
the burner fit over the valve outlets.
Grill body:
Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the grill body with a soft plastic or
wood scraper. It is not necessary to remove all of the grease from the body. If
you need to clean fully, use hot soapy water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush
only. Remove cooking surfaces and burners before cleaning. Do not immerse
the gas controls or manifold in water. Check burner operation after carefully
refitting into the body.
Annual checking and tightening of metal fittings is recommended. Store the grill
in a cool dry place. Cover the burners with aluminum foil in order to prevent
insects or other debris from collecting in the burner holes. If the grill is to be
stored indoors, the gas bottle must be disconnected and left outside. The gas
bottle should always be stored outside, out of reach of children, and in a dry,
well-ventilated area away from any sources of heat or ignition.
