Question:
What can 1 do to keep my cast iron grates
from rusting?
Answer:
Cast iron grates do require special care. We
recommend you first season new grates. Wash
new grates with dishwashing liquid, rinse, and dry
completely with a soft cloth. Never wash them in a
dishwasher. We recommend you use a solid
vegetable shortening over the grates to season
them the first time. Spread a thin coating with a
paper towel over the entire surface, corners, and
edges. Preheat your grill to 500 degrees. Turn half
your burners to "LOW" and half "OFF", and place
grates in the firebox for about an hour. Shut off all
burners and allow the grates to cool. We
recommend you coat the grates with a liquid
vegetable oil before each use. We do not suggest
spray type oils unless they are specified for high
temperature cooking.
Answer:
The U.S. Government regulates gas appliances
and LP gas tanks. When regulations are changed
the LP gas tank fittings are altered to insure
compliance. If your LP gas tank does not fit the
regulator and hose assembly supplied with your
new grill, then the tank Is outdated and must be
replaced. Note: Effective April 1, 2002 all LP gas
tanks sold must Include an "OPD" Overfill
Prevention Device. The OPD tanks are Identified
by their triangular-shaped valve wheel. This
internal device prevents the LP gas tank from
being overfilled. Tanks without an OPD valve can
no longer be refilled.
Question:

cooking grates in the dishwasher?

No. You should not clean any grill parts in your
