Cleaning the Grill
Caution: To prevent injury, use care when cleaning a
hot grill.
Note: Do not use a commercial cleaner on the cooking
grid. Do not brush grids while they are hot. Do not
scrape grids.
For baked on residue use a brass (NOT STEEL) brush on
the cooking grid and other components.
Burn Off
This process is much like that used in self-cleaning ovens
and is most efficient when completed after each use of the
grill.
Caution: Do not open the grill during the burn off
process. Opening the grill during the burn off process
may cause a sudden grease fire flare up that could burn
your face and arms. Wait until the grill has cooled before
opening.
1. Turn gas knob to HI. Close lid and allow the grill to burn
for ten minutes, or until no smoke is present. Do not
allow the grill to burn for more than 30 minutes.
2. Turn gas knob and supply to OFF and allow the grill to
cool.
3. Wipe COOL grill with a damp cloth to remove soot.
Grill Bottom
Periodically remove cooking grids and flare guard to clean
the interior of the grill. Scrape off baked on residue with a
putty knife or brass brush and rinse with water. Clean the
bottom air holes with a small knife.
Burner Maintenance
Stainless steel burners often turn reddish brown after use.
This does not effect the performance of the grill. When
cleaning the interior of the grill, remove the burners and clean
with a brass brush. Wash with water and a mild detergent.
Grease Cup
Empty periodically.
Venturi Tubes
The venturi tubes allow air and gas to mix prior to burning, thus
ensuring an efficient flame. Spiders or other small insects
may build webs or nests inside the tubes obstructing air flow.
Fire, or flashback, can occur, in and/or around obstructed
venturi tubes and can cause damage to components beneath
the grill or an unsafe condition. To reduce risk, inspections
and cleaning should be performed at least twice monthly
when spiders are active. If the grill has been unused for an
extended period of time inspect the tubes before using the
grill.
Clean venturi tubes as follows:
1. Remove the cooking grids and briquette rack.
2. Remove the burner from the grill.
3. Lay the burner face down and remove the four retaining
screws from the venturi tube plate and the burner. See
Figure 19.
4. Use a small flexible brush to remove any debris for the
tube(s).
5. Flush with water.
6. Allow the tube(s) to dry before reinstalling.
7. Reinstall the venturi tubes and burner.
Exterior
Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and hot
water. Touch-up paint is available from your dealer. Broil-
master ® protective covers are recommended. Stainless steel
components can be easily cleaned with a spray-on stainless
steel cleaner found in most hardware stores.
Briquettes
If the briquettes did not come clean during burn off, after cool-
ing turn them over. The residue will burn off during warm-up
for the next use.

Note: Bowtie burner is shown. Follow the same steps
for the H burner assembly.
