with a nonstick finish.

be cleaned with detergentandaplastic scmbber, such
as Tuflfy, or washed in the dishwasher if burned on
residue is first removed. For heavy soil, grates can be
soaked in hot, soapy water to which a cleanser, such
as household ammonia, has been added.
• Do not use metal brushes or abrasive scouring
pads or other scrubbers intended to clean outdoor
charcoal grills. These will remove the finish as
well as scratch the grates. Do not clean in self­
cleaning oven or use oven cleaners on the grates.
GriU Element

with porcelain enamel.
• The grill-rocks should be cleaned frequently or
after any excessive build-up of grease. To clean
light soil, use detergent and aplastic scmbber, such
as Tuffy, or wash in the dishwasher if burned on
residue is first removed. For heavy soil, soak in
hot, soapy water to which a cleanser, such as
household ammonia, has been added. Stubborn
spots on grill-rocks, such as burned on residue
from sauces, can be scrabbed with a stiff bristle
bmsh.
• An oven cleaner, such as Easy-Off, can be used for
burned on soil. Follow manufacturer's directions;
spray on cleaner and let soak overnight. Do not
clean grill-rocks in the self-cleaning oven.
Porcelain Basin Pan
This area is located under the grill-rocks and/or car­
tridges. It should be cleaned after each use of the grill,
