Before cleaning the grill turn the fame down to a lower setting such as Med or Low. Use a soft bristle brush to scrub the grill grate. Dip the brush frequently into a bowl of water. Steam is created as the water contacts the hot grate. The steam assists the cleaning process by softening the food particles. o For a thorough cleaning of the grill grate, use grill cleaner according to manufacturer's directions and then soak 15-20 minutes in a hot water and mild detergent solution. After soaking, scrub with a blue Scotch-Brite™ pad. Do not use a steel wool pad or abrasive cleaner, for risk of damaging the porcelain finish. Dry thoroughly. • Flavor generator plates, drip pan and drip tray: o Scrape off all burned on debris. The flavor-generator plates, drip pan and drip tray are dishwasher safe. If you choose to not wash these components in the dishwasher then simply soak for 15-20 minutes in a hot water and mild detergent solution. After soaking, scrub with a blue Scotch-Brite™ pad.
