Care and Maintenance
Cleaning the Grill
Grease Cup:
Remove the Grease Cup from the Wire Holder under the grill bowl after the grill has cooled completely. Scrape away
food and fat residue from the Grease Cup. Empty and wash the Grease Cup with hot soapy water and a cloth. A
replacement Grease Cup can be ordered online at www.AussieGrills.com
Grill Body:
Do not mistake the accumulation of grease and smoke residue for peeling or flaking paint. 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
surfaces. It is not necessary to remove all the grease from the body. Wipe it down with paper towels or soft damp cloth.
Cooking Grid/Flavor Activators:
Clean the residue off with a baking soda and water solution. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive scouring powder.
Do not use steel wool or other abrasive cleaners that can scratch the plated surfaces. This can cause foods to stick on
the Cooking Grids.
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.)
Burners:
Burning off the residue after cooking will keep the Burners clean with normal usage, provided the Burners are op-
erating correctly. Clean the Burners annually, or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of
blockage (debris, insects) in the Burner portholes, the primary air inlet, or the neck of the Burners. See How to Clean
the Burners.
CAUTION
!
To reduce risk of laceration hazard, wear protective gloves when handling parts with sharp edges.
Storage and Transportation
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from explosion or fire:
• Store your LP gas grill in a cool dry place. Do not store an LP Gas Cylinder in temperatures greater than 125
degrees Fahrenheit. Never store an LP Gas Cylinder in a building, garage, indoors or any enclosed area.
• Store LP Gas Cylinders outdoors out of reach of children.
• Never leave an LP Gas Cylinder inside a vehicle.
• Even though your LP Gas Cylinder may appear to be empty, gas may still be present and the LP Gas Cylinder
should be transported and stored accordingly.
• Never store a spare LP Gas Cylinder under or near the LP gas grill.
WARNING
!
1. Disconnect LP Gas Cylinder from grill and store outside, in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from any sources of
heat or ignition. Re-cap LP Gas Cylinder valve with the Safety Cap.
2. Cover the regulator opening with the plastic cap supplied with the grill.
3. Remove Burners and wrap with aluminum foil to prevent insects from entering the Burner holes. Store wrapped
Burners on top of Cooking Grid.
4. You may wrap the Cooking Grid and Flavor Activators in aluminum foil and place inside the Hood or store inside
your dwelling.
5. Your grill may be stored indoors only if the LP Gas Cylinder is disconnected from the gas grill and stored outside.
6. Before next use, remove aluminum foil and reinstall Burners, Flavor Activators, and Cooking Grids.
7. Before using the grill after periods of storage or non-use (i.e. over winter), check your LP gas grill for gas leaks,
deterioration, proper assembly, and Burner obstructions.
7. Periodically check and tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws.
