CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that the burners are turned off prior to cleaning. Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces. Clean grill in an area where
cleaning solutions will not harm decks, lawns or patios. Do not use oven cleaner to clean any part of this gas grill. Do not use a
self cleaning oven to clean cooking grids or any other parts of the gas grill. Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will
cause rapid deterioration of the gas grill components unless cleaned regularly.
GRIDS AND WARMING RACK - The grids and warming rack are best cleaned during the pre-heat period with a soft brass wire brush. Steel
wool can be used for stubborn stains. Stainless grids will discolour permanently from normal usage, due to the high temperature of the
cooking surface.
CLEANING INSIDE THE GAS GRILL - Remove the cooking grid. Use a soft brass wire brush to clean loose debris from the insides of the
lid. Scrape sear plate with a putty knife or scraper, and use a wire brush to remove ash. Remove the sear plate and brush debris off of the
burner with a brass wire brush. Brush all debris from inside the gas grill into the removable drip pan. Ensure that the sear plate is placed
properly when reinstalled (holes towards the right end of the grill), or whenever the grill is packed away for transport.
DRIP PAN - Slide the drip pan out for easy cleaning. It should be cleaned frequently (every 4-5 uses) to avoid grease buildup. Grease and
excess drippings accumulate in the drip pan located under the grill. Accumulated grease can cause a fire hazard. Do not line the drip pan
with aluminum foil, as it can prevent the proper amount of air needed for burner to operate. The pan should be scraped out with a putty knife
or scraper.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE GAS GRILL - Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean stainless steel parts. To clean stainless surfaces,
use a stainless steel cleaner or a non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain. Do not use steel wool, as it will scratch the
finish and leave small particles of ferrous metal which can promote rusting. Stainless steel parts will discolour when heated, usually to a
golden or brown colour. This discolouration is normal and will not affect the performance of the grill.
INFRA-RED BURNERS - Because of the high intensity of the infra-red burner, most drippings and food particles that fall onto the burner
surface are immediately incinerated. However, some debris and residue may remain. To remove this residue after cooking, operate the grill
on high for 5-10 minutes with the lid open.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
DARK BLUE
LIGHT BLUE
BURNER
BURNER PORT
Turn off the gas at the source and disconnect unit before servicing. Maintenance should only be done when the grill is cool, to avoid
the possibility of burns. A leak test must be performed annually, and whenever any component of the gas train is replaced.
COMBUSTION AIR ADJUSTMENT - (This must be done by a qualified gas installer.) The air shutter is factory set and should not have to
be adjusted under normal conditions. However, some extreme field conditions may exist that require adjustment. When the air shutter is
adjusted correctly, the flames will be dark blue with light blue tips, and occasional yellow tips.
YELLOW TIPPING
If the burner is getting too little air, the flames will be lazy yellow, and possibly produce soot. If the burner is getting too much air, the flames will
be lifting erratically from the burner and may cause difficulties when lighting.
1. Loosen air-shutter lock screw, located under the regulator/igniter mount, and open or close air shutter as required. The normal setting for the
tube burner is 1/8”.
2. Light burner and set to high. Visually inspect burner flames. When shutters are set, turn regulator off, tighten locking screw. Be sure the
air shutter does not move when tightening the screw.
3. Infra-red burners have no air adjustment.
