Mild abrasive cleaners: liquid Kleen King ® ,
Drip Tray – Tip: Keep a thin layer of sand or bird gravel on top of foil liner to absorb grease.

Grill Burner remove. Clean the exterior of the grill burner with a plastic dishwashing
Aluminized Steel pad. Use a straightened paper clip to clear clogged ports. Shake out any debris
through the air shutter. (Do not use a wooden toothpick to clear any debris in the
clogged ports.)
Quick Clean Method for Grates
1. Immediately after cooking, turn off the burners.
Fill a container with very hot water.
2. Using a long handled, brass barbecue brush dipped
in hot water, scrub the hot grates. Use a heavy mitt
to protect your hand from the heat and steam.
3. Repeat. Scrub each grate with the wire brush to
remove cooked on food soil. The steam created
from applying water to the hot grate softens the soil,
making it easier to remove.
4. Charred particles will fall into the drip tray below.
Wipe out particles; replace aluminum foil liner.
Quick Clean Method for the Drip Tray
Check tray after each use.
1. Line tray with heavy foil.
2. Spread thin layer of sand or bird gravel over foil to
absorb grease.
3. When time to replace foil liner and sand, pull
corners of foil to center, bundle and throw away.
Cleaning the Overhead Hood
CAUTION: Keep the exhaust hood free of grease
build-up. It is recommended that the grease collection tray
and the baffles be removed and cleaned after each use
when grilling large amounts of meats, or meats with high
fat content. Clean the interior surfaces of the hood
frequently.
DO NOT CLEAN ANY REMOVABLE PARTS OF THE GRILL IN A SELF-CLEANING OVEN.
