1) Remove Drip Cup, Cooking Grid, and Flame Diffuser.
2) Drip Cup-Wash the Drip Cup with soap and water.
3) Grill Body and Cart-Remove excess grease and/or fat

with a soft plastic or wooden scraper. Do not use steel
wool or other abrasive cleaners that can scratch painted
or porcelain coated surfaces. It is not necessary to remove
all the grease from the body. Wipe it down with paper
towels or soft damp cloth.

4) Warming Rack-Clean if necessary with soap and water.
5) Cooking Grid/Flame Diffuser. Clean the residue off

with hot soap and water, or baking soda. For stubborn
stains, use a non-abrasive scouring powder. Do not use
steel wool or other abrasive cleaners that can scratch the
porcelain coated surfaces. This can cause foods to stick on
the Cooking Grids.

6) All other Cleaning-For further cleaning, use hot soapy

water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only. Do not
immerse the gas controls or manifold in water. (Avoid
getting water in the Burner Holes.)

7) Burner-Burning off the residue after cooking will keep the

burner clean with normal usage, provided the Burner
is operating correctly. Clean the the Burner annually,
or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there
are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) in either the
burner portholes, the primary air inlet, or the neck of the
burner. (See Burner Cleaning instructions.)

8) After cleaning, replace all the cleaned parts. Re-tighten

Burner and Heat Shield screws.
