Routine

Cleaning

of The

Grill

Interior

[]

Burning-off

excess food after every cookout

will keep

it ready for instant use.

However,at

least every 3

months

you must give the entire grill a thorough

cleaning

to minimize your risk of grease fire and

keep the grill in top shape.

Follow

these steps:

1.

Turn all Burner Valves to the full OFF position.

2.

Turn the LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position.

3.

Disconnect

the regulator

from the gas tank. Inspect the

hose with regulator assembly

for

cracking,

cuts or any

other damage,

and

replace as neccessary.

Refer to the

Parts List in this Use and Care Guide.

4.

Remove

and clean

the Heat

Diffusers,

Cooking

Grids,

Cooking

Rack and

Grill Burners.

5.

Cover each Gas Valve

Orifice with

aluminum

foil.

6.

Brush the inside and bottom

of the grill with a fiber

pad or nylon

brush and wash

with a mild soap and

warm water

solution.

Rinse thoroughly

and let dry.

7.

Remove

aluminum

foil from

Orifices

and check

each Orifice

for obstruction.

8.

Check

each

Spark

Electrode,

adjusting

as needed.

The space between

the Spark

Electrode

Tip and

Spark

Receiver should

be approximately

3/16".

9.

Replace

the

Burners

and adjust

the

Gas Collector

Box. The edge

of the

collector

box should

be overlap-

ping the

Burner

Port.

10.

Replace

Heat

Diffusers

and Cooking

Grids.

11.

Reconnect

the gas source

and observe

the

Burner

flame for correct

operation.

Cleaning

Manufactured

Stone

Surfaces:

[]

If needed,

we suggest

you wash

the manufactured

stone

surface

using

a mild soap and warm

water

solution

only. You can use a soft soapy cloth or

sponge

then rinse with

water.

Never use abrasive

cleaners,

any

cleaner

containing

bleach,

scrubbers

or stiff wire bushes

on the stone surface.These

can

cause discoloration

and

/or

chipping

of the

painted

surface.

Cleaning

Exterior

Stainless

Steel

Surfaces:

[]

Routine

care and maintenance

is required

to preserve

the appearance

and corrosion

resistance

of stainless

steel. The fact is stainless

steel can corrode, rust and

discolor

under certain

conditions.

Rust is caused

when

regular steel particles

in the atmosphere

become

attached

to the stainless

steel surface. Steel

particles can also become attached

to your grill if you

use steel wool or stiff wire brushes

to clean the grill

instead of non-abrasive

cloth, sponge

or nylon

cleaning tools.

In coastal areas rust pits can develop

on stainless

surfaces that cannot

be fully removed.

Bleach and other chlorine

based solutions

used for

household

and pool

cleaning

can also cause corro-

sion to stainless

steel. Weathering,

extreme

heat,

smoke from cooking

and machine oils used in the

manufacturing

process

of stainless

steel can cause

stainless steel to turn tan in color. Although

there are

many factors which can affect the surface appearance

of stainless steel, they do not affect the integrity of the

steel or the performance

of the grill.

[]

To help maintain the finish of stainless

steel follow

these cleaning

procedures

for the best results:

1. After every use (after your grill has cooled down), wipe

stainless surfaces with

a soft, soapy cloth or sponge

then rinse with water. Be sure to remove all food

particles,

sauces

or marinades

from

stainless

steel

because these can be highly acidic and damaging

to

stainless

surfaces.

2. Never use abrasive cleaners, scrubbers

or stiff wire

brushes of any type on your grill.

3. Use a heat resistant Stainless Steel Cleaner

and rub

or wipe in the direction of the stainless steel grain or

polish lines NOT against

the grain.

Failure

to complywith

these

instructions

could

result

in a

fire

or explosion

that could

cause

serious bodily injury, death or property damage.

• Keep grill area

clear and free from

combustible

materials,

gasoline

and

other

flammable

vapors

and

liquids.

• Do not obstruct

the flow of air for combustion

and

ventilation.

• Keep the ventilation

openings

of the tank

enclosure

cabinet

free and clear of debris.

• Visually

check

burner

flames

occasionally

to

ensure

proper

flame

pattern

as shown

below.
