WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts could
create a hazard or cause product damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
When cleaning the inside of the firebox hood and grill
bottom, use a strong solution of detergent and water with
a scrub brush to clean. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air
dry. NEVER use a caustic grill cleaner on painted or cook-
ing surfaces.
All plastic parts, stainless-steel and painted surfaces,
should be cleaned with warm soapy water and wiped dry.
Cooking surfaces should be cleaned with a bristle brush
only. Check that no loose bristles remain on the cooking
grates prior to using.
Cooking grates:
 Clean before and after each use with a stiff wire brush.
Port shields:
 Scrape any build-up off the port shields using a wire
brush.
Grease:
 After use, allow the grease in the cup to cool then
empty into the garbage.
 Empty after each use to avoid spillage and flare ups.

and even cause injury.
