care and maintenence
For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep
the igniters, burner caps, and ports clean and free of soil.
It is necessary to clean these only when the flame does
not burn blue completely around and within the burner,
when there is a severe boil-over, when the burner does
not light, or when the electronic igniter clicks continuously
even after the flame has been lit.
When the burner and burner grate are cool, remove the
grate. Grasp the burner cap and remove it.
burner caps:
Clean the burner cap with a cleanser suitable for enamel.
Use a wire, a straightened paper clip or needle to clear
the ports. Do not use a toothpick; it could break off in the
port. If necessary, wash, rinse and dry burner according
to the Cleaning Chart on following pages. Be sure to dry
the burner base and cap thoroughly before reinstalling
the burner cap.
Replace the burner cap, being sure to properly line up
the locater tab with the notch in the burner base.
Thoroughly dry the igniters to prevent nuisance or
continuous sparking.
Two grill RACKS forms a continuous surface. The burner
racks are constructed of stainless steel that has been
electro-polished to achieve a bright shimmering lustre.
Due to the extreme temperatures and rapid temperature
change that the racks are exposed to, in addition to
spillage of acidic and sugar laden foods onto the racks,
some deterioration may include extreme discoloration.
The extent of deterioration will be directly related to the
severity and amount of usage The bright lustre of the
grill racks WILL fade after the first use and is a normal
condition of stainless steel exposed to heat.
To clean, the grill rack may be wiped while on the
range with hot soapy water, rinsed and wiped dry.
If cleaning necessitates removal of racks, care should
be taken in lifting them. Be sure to place the grill
rack on a protected surface.
The grill racks may be washed in a dishwasher.

The easiest way to clean the grill is while it is warm
(not hot) after cooking is completed and after turning
off the flame. Wear a BBQ mitt to protect your hand
from the heat and steam. Use a brass grill brush and
water on the grill grate in most instances. For
stubborn stains, use a soap filled steel wool pad.
Steam created as the water contacts the hot grill
assists the cleaning process by softening any food
particles, which will fall off and burn. If the grill is
allowed to cool before cleaning, it will be more difficult.
After the grill has cooled, remove the racks, stainless
steel radiant and U-shaped burner, heat deflector,
removable heat shield, and drip pan.
Lift the U-shaped burner where it hooks to the
brackets at the rear of the grill box. Pull burner from
the burner hole and remove it from the gas connection.
The burner may be cleaned, if desired, with a wire
brush. All gas ports must be free of blockage for safe
operation. Use a straightened metal paper clip, needle
or wire to remove debris from portholes.
Lift out and wash the stainless steel removable heat
shield, and grease drip pan tray. Use hot, sudsy
water, rinse and dry.

that the burners are turned off and the grates
