Cleaning and Maintenance
CAUTION:
Be sure your grill is OFF and coo! before cleaning.
Take care not to chip or scratch the painted surfaces
because it will void your warranty against rusting.
As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance
will keep your grill in top operating condition and
prolong its life. By following these cleaning proce­
dures on a timely basis, your grill will stay clean and
work properly with minimum effort.
Cleaning The Cooking Grids
Before initial use and periodically we suggest you
wash your Cooking Grids in a mild soap and warm
water solution. You can use a wash cloth or vegetable
brush to clean your Cooking Grids.
5. Cover each Gas Valve Orifice with aluminum foil.
6. Brush the inside and bottom of the grill with a fiber
pad or nylon brush, and wash with a mild soap
and warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and let
dry.
7. Remove aluminum foil from Orifices and check
each Orifice for obstruction.
8. Check each Spark Electrode, adjusting as needed.
The space between the Spark Electrode Tip and
Spark Receiver should be approximately 3/16".
9. Replace the Burners and adjust the Gas Collector
Box. The edge of the collector box should be
overlapping the Burner Port.
10. Replace Flame Tamers and the Cooking Grids.
11. Reconnect the gas source and observe the Burner
flame for correct operation.
Cleaning The Flame Tamers
Periodically you should wash the Flame Tamers in a
soap and warm water solution. Use a vegetable brush
to remove stubborn burnt-on cooking residue. Dry the
Flame Tamers thoroughly before you reinstall them
into the cooking bowl.
Cleaning The Grease Tray and Receptacle
To reduce the chance of fire, the Grease Draining
Tray and Grease Receptacle should be visually
inspected before each grill use. Remove any grease
and wash Grease Tray and Receptacle with a mild
soap and warm water solution.
Annual Cleaning of The Grill Interior
Burning-off the grill after every cookout will keep it
ready for instant use. However, once a year you
should give the entire gril! a thorough cleaning to keep
it in top operating condition. Follow these steps:
1. Turn all Burner Valves to the full OFF position.
2. Turn the LP gas tank valve to the full OFF posi­
tion.
3 . Disconnect the regulator from the gas tank. Inspect
the hose with regulator assembly for cracking, cuts
or any other damage, and replace as neccessary
with Sears replacement parts. See Parts List.
4. Remove and clean the Flame Tamers, Cooking
Grids, Cooking Rack and Grill Burners.
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces;
Before initial use, and periodically thereafter, we
suggest you wash your gril! using a mild soap and
warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or
sponge for this process. Do not use a stiff wire or
brass brush that might remove paint during the
cleaning process.
Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:
Weathering and extreme heat can cause exterior
stainless steel surfaces to turn tan in color. Machine
oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless
steel can also cause this tanning color. After remov­
ing the protective PVC film from the Grill Lid and
Control Panel use a Stainless Steel Cleaner to polish
the stainless steel surfaces of your grill. Never use
abrasive cleaners or scrubbers because they will
scratch and damage your grill. Follow these steps for
the best results.
1. Turn the LP gas tank valve (clockwise) to the full
OFF position. Disconnect the regulator and hose
assembly from LP gas tank. Cover exposed gas
fitting with aluminum foil.
2. Remove dirt or grease using a soft cloth and
polish stainless surfaces. Wipe with a soft cloth.
3. Remove aluminum foil from exposed gas fitting
and allow grill to air dry before attaching the
regulator and hose to your LP gas tank.
Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and other flam­
mable vapors and liquids.
