cooking grills.
COOKING GRILLS
• Clean with mild soap detergent and water. A brass bristled brush or a nylon cleaning pad can be used to
remove residue from the stainless steel surfaces. Do not use steel wire bristles to clean the cooking grills.
Steel can cause the finish to chip or crack. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner.
HEAT DISTRIBUTION PLATES
• Periodically, it may be necessary to inspect and clean the heat distribution plate to prevent excess grease
build-up. When the grill is cold, remove the cooking grills. Inspect the heat distribution plates and replace if
broken or damaged. Do not allow heat distribution plates to become damaged to the extent that they may
fall through onto the burners. Replace the heat distribution plates and cooking grills and light the burners.
Operate the grill on "HIGH" for 10 minutes to remove the excess grease.
