Control
Clean up spatters with a damp cloth. Remove
panel and heavier soil with warm, soapy water.
knobs
Do not use abrasives of any kind on the
control panel.
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it straight off
the stem. Wash the knobs in soap and water but
do not soak.

Grille

Clean the grille immediately after cooking.
Turn off the burner. To protect your hand from
(on some models)
steam and heat, wear a barbecue mitt. Scrub
the grille by dipping a brass bristle barbecue
brush frequently into a bowl of water.
The steam created softens the food particles
and assists the cleaning process. The food
particles will drop into the drip tray or into the
radiant tray holding the ceramic briquettes. Be
sure to clean the drain tube, drip tray and liner
after they have cooled.
Ceramic
The layer of ceramic briquettes, under the
grille racks, will last for many years with

proper care.
(on some models)
Burned-on food particles and ash can be
emptied off the radiant tray when cool by
shaking over a waste receptacle.

the surface.
