GeneralGrillCleaning
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas
grills are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of
detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom.
Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to
painted surfaces.
• Plastic Side Shelves: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. s Do not use citrisol,
abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic side shelves.
Damage to and failure of shelf can result.
• Non-Stick Cooking Surface: Turn grill off before cleaning. While still warm, pour a cup of
water over cooking surface to loosen grease and food particles and to speed cool-down.
Use supplied cleaning comb to scrape off excess grease and food particles. Wipe cooking
surface with a paper towel or sponge. Once completely cool, cooking surface can be
removed and washed with warm soapy water or placed in dishwasher.
• Grease Bottle: After each use, remove bottle and rinse with hot soapy water.
• Cooler: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
CAUTION
Clean burner prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or after a period of
one month not being used. Spiders and insects like to build nests in burner tubes (especially
during colder months). These nests can cause fires in burner tubes or under grill.
Typical spider webs inside burner.
See following pages for specific cleaning instructions.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly.
1. Turn gas off at control knob and LP tank.
2. Remove cooking surface.
3. Remove regulator/valve from grill.
4. Clean outside of burner with soap and water. Open clogged holes with a thin wire.
Examine holes. Due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any
large cracks or holes are found, replace burner. Burner can be cleaned either installed or
removed.
5. If grill is to be stored, coat burner lightly with cooking oil. Wrap in protective cover to keep
insects out.
6. Replace cooking surface.
VERY IMPORTANT: Before cooking again on grill, follow Burner Flame Check.

Non-Stick Cooking Surface Use and Care.

Food Safety
Food safety is an important part of enjoying the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe
from harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water before and after handling raw
meat and poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats from ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a
clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a thermometer to ensure proper
internal food temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.
How to Tell if Meat is Grilled Thoroughly
•
Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the outside. Use a meat
thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature and cut into food to
check for visual signs of doneness. NOTE: Do not cut into food while it is on the grill’s
cooking surface. This may damage the cooking surface. Move food to a plate to check,
then return it to the cooking surface if necessary.
•
•
Poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° F. Juices should run clear and flesh should not
be pink.
Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should reach 160° F, and be brown in the
middle with no pink juices. Beef, veal, lamb, steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to
145° F. All cuts of pork should reach 160° F.
•
•
NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Cook food completely to
destroy harmful bacteria.
When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot dogs, grill to 165° F, or until
steaming hot.
Storing Your Grill and Cooler
• Clean cooking surface and grease container.
• When LP tank is connected to grill, store outdoors in well-ventilated space and out of reach
of children.
• Cover grill if stored outdoors.
• Store grill indoors ONLY if LP tank is turned off and disconnected, removed from grill and
stored outdoors.
• Leak test the grill after removing from storage and follow Cleaning Burner Assembly
instructions before starting grill.
