Cleaning and maintenance

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the grill is cool. Always follow label
instructions on cleaning products.
For routine cleaning, wash with soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse with clean water and
dry at once with a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid spots and streaks.
Do not use steel wool to clean the grill, as it will scratch the surface.
To avoid damage to the finish from weather, use a vinyl grill cover, available from your local dealer.
See "After sales service" section. It's recommended to clean the product after use.
STAINLESS STEEL
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive
cleaners, hob Polishing Creme, steel wool, gritty wash cloths or paper towels.
Cleaners should not contain chlorine. Damage may occur. Food spills should be cleaned as soon as entire
grill is cool. Spills may cause permanent discoloration.
Cleaning Method:
• Rub in direction of grain to avoid scratching or damaging the surface.
• Use liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner.
• Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.
• Use vinegar to remove hard water spots.
• Use glass cleaner to remove fingerprints.
GRILL GRATES
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to grill grates, do not use a steel or fiber scraper. Immediately after you
have finished cooking, loosen food soil with a brass bristle brush. Turn all burners to HI for 10-15 minutes
with the cover closed to burn off food soil. Turn off all burners, raise the hood and let grates cool. Use the
brass bristle brush to remove ash from the grill grates.
When completely cool, grill racks can be removed for thorough cleaning. Clean them with a mild
detergent and warm water.
For baked-on soil, prepare a solution of 1 cup (250 mL) ammonia to 1 gal. (3.75 L) water. Soak grates for
20 minutes, then rinse with water and dry completely.
WARMING SHELF
Cleaning Method:
• Use liquid detergent or an all-purpose cleaner.
• Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the gas supply is off and all control knobs are in the OFF position. Make sure
the side burner is cool.
EXTERIOR
The quality of this material resists most stains and spitting, providing that the surface is kept clean, polished
and covered.
• Apply stainless steel polish to all non-cooking areas before first use. Reapply after each cleaning to avoid
permanent damage to surface.
• Cleaning should always be followed by rinsing with clean warm water.
• Wipe the surface completely dry with a soft cloth.
INTERIOR
Discoloration of stainless steel on these parts is to be expected, due to intense heat from the burners.

water.
