Grill
The easiest way to clean the grill is immedi-
ately after cooking.  First, turn the control
valves to the OFF position. ( “O” )
Do not handle the porcelain.
Wearing an oven mitt, to protect hands from
the heat and steam, dip a barbecue brush in tap
water.  Scrub the hot grill.  Steam created as
the water contacts the hot grill assists the
cleaning process by softening any food
particles.For further cleaning  the grill may be
cleaned in the sink , after it has cooled off.
The steel mesh located under the grill can be
removed and cleaned.All grill parts are
dishwasher safe.
The grill burners must be removed  before
panels “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D” can be re-
moved. (fig 10)  To remove, loosen the screw
located in the middle of the two burners.  The
burners can now slide off the orifices, lifted
out, and placed on top of the unit.  There is
approximately 6–8”
(15 – 20 cm) of ignitor wire with the burner.
(When installing the burners back into
position, thread the excess igniter wire back into
the hole.)
Excessive Flare Ups and Flaming
Occasionally grease drippings ignite.  These drippings will create minor puffs of flame for a second or
two.  This is normal when coking on a barbecue.  You may find it handy to have a spray bottle filled
with water to lightly spray the flare-up.
If the flame becomes excessive, remove the food from the grill.  Lower the heat setting.  Replace the
food when the flare-up subsides.  To prevent flare-ups from happening, trim the fat from around the
edges of steaks and chops, use hamburger that is lean, remove the fat that is on poultry, etc.
When turning any kind of meat or poultry, the melted fat will drop onto the mesh and it may create a
flare-up.  If this happens, use a long handled spatula to move the food to another area.
DO NOT leave the grill unattended while it is turned on.
