CORRECT LP GAS TANK USE
LP gas grill models are designed for use with a
standard 20lb. (9.1kg) Liquid Propane Gas (LP Gas)
tank, which is not included with the grill. Never
connect your gas grill to an LP gas tank that exceeds
this capacity, A tank of approximately 12" (305mm)
in diameter by 18-1/2" (472mm) high is the
maximum size LP gas tank to use. You must use an
"OPD" gas tank which offers a listed Overfill
Prevention Device. This safety feature prevents
tanks from being overfilled which can cause
malfunction of the LP gas tank, regulator and grill.
The LP gas tank must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the Specifications for LP-Gas
Cylinders of the U,S. Department of Transportation
(D.O, T.) or the National Standard of Canada,
CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and
Commission, as applicable.
The LP gas tank must have a shutoff valve terminating
in a LP gas supply tank valve outlet that is compatible
with a Type 1 tank connection device. The LP gas tank
must also have a safety relief device that has a direct
connection with the vapor space of the tank.
The tank supply system must have a means for
vapor withdrawal,
The LP gas tank used must have a collar to protect
the tank valve.
Never connect an unregulated LP gas tank to your
gas grill. The gas regulator assembly supplied with
your gas grill is adjusted to have an outlet pressure
of ll"water column (W.C.) for connection to an LP
gas tank. Only use the regulator and hose assembly
supplied with your gas grill. Replacement
regulators and hose assemblies must be those
specified by Sears. See the Parts List.
Have your LP Gas dealer check the release valve
after every filling to ensure it remains free of
defects. Always keep the LP gas tank in an upright
position, Do not subject the LP gas tank to excessive
heat,
Never store an LP gas tank indoors. If you store your
gas grill indoors, always disconnect the LP gas tank first
and store it safely outside.
LP gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a
well-ventilated area and out of the reach of children.
Disconnected LP gas tanks must not be stored in a
building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
The regulator and hose assembly can be seen after
opening the door and must be inspected before each
use of the grill. If there is excessive abrasion or wear
or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to using
the grill again.
Never light your gas grill with the lid closed or
before checking to ensure the burner tubes are fully
seated over the gas valve orifices.
Never allow children to operate your grill. Do not
allow children or pets to play near your grill.
]4
Use of alcohol or drugs may impair the ability
to assemble and operate the appliance.
Keep a fire extinguisher readily accessible. In
the event of an oil or grease fire, do not attempt
to extinguish with water. Use a Type B extinguisher
or smother with dirt, sand, or baking soda.
In the event of rain, cover the grill and turn off
the burner and gas supply.
Use your grill on a level, stable surface and ensure
the locking casters are locked before use.
Do not leave the grill unattended when in use.
Do not move the appliance when in use.
• Allow the grill to cool before moving or storing.
Do not use your grill as a heater.
This grill is not intended to be installed in or on
recreational vehicles and/or boats.
A. Do not store a spare LP gas tank under or
near this appliance.
B. Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full;
C. If the information in "(a)"and "(b)" is not
followed exactly, a fire causing death or
serious injury may occur.
Use your grill at least 3 feet away from
any wall or surface. Use your grill at least 3
feet from combustible objects that can melt or
catch fire (such as vinyl or wood siding, fences
and overhangs) or sources of ignition including
pilot lights on water heaters and live electrical
appliances,
Never use your gas grill in a building, garage,
porch, shed, breezeway, or any other enclosec
area,
Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air
around your gas grill housing.
Notes about LP Gas Tank Exchange Programs
• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of
replacing your empty LP gas tank through an
exchange service. Use only those reputable
exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test
and certify their tanks. Exchange your tank only for
an OPD safety feature equipped tank as described
in the LP gas tank section of this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LPgas tanks in an
upright position during use, transit or storage.
Leak test new and exchanged LP gas tanks BEFORE
connecting one to your grill.
How to Leak Test your LP Gas Tank
For your safety:
All leak tests must be repeated each time your LP gas
tank is exchanged or refilled.
Do not smoke when checking for gas leaks.
Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
Your grill must be leak tested outdoors in a
well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such
as gas fired or electrical appliances, During the leak
test, keep your grill away from open flames or
sparks.
Do not use household cleaning agents as damage to
gas assembly components can occur.
[] Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and
water solution.
[] Brush soapy solution onto the LP gas tank in the areas
indicated by the arrows. See diagram.
[] If growing bubbles appear do not use or move the LP
Gas tank, Call an LP gas supplier or your fire
department,
Regulator and LP Cylinder Connections
The gas pressure regulator provided with this
outdoor cooking appliance must be used. This
regulator is set for an outlet pressure of 11
inches water column.
Regulator:
Your regulator is equipped with a Q.C.C. Type 1
quick connect system. It will not allow gas to flow
until a positive seal has been made, It has a
thermal element that will shut off the gas flow if
the temperature reaches 240 degrees F (115
degrees C), It also has a flow-limiting device that
will restrict the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per
hour (0.28 cubic meters per hour).
TO CONNECT THE CYLINDER TO THE
REGULATOR AND HOSE
1. Be sure the LP cylinder is "OFF" by turning the
hand wheel clockwise until it stops.
2. Place the cylinder into the base cabinet shelf of
the grill with the valve facing outward and
secure with the cylinder support ring,
3. Be sure all burner controls are turned to the
"OFF" position.
4. Remove the safety cap from the cylinder valve.
5. Center the nipple of the regulator into the
cylinder valve.
6. Turn the black nut clockwise until it stops.
Hand Tighten Only. Do Not Use A Wrench.

Flow Limiting Valves on LP Gas Tanks
Your LP gas tank is equipped with a flow limiting valve
that will restrict the flow of gas due to a sudden change
in pressure. This can often activate without your
knowledge. You will notice among other things that
your grill does not get as hot as it should, will take
longer to heat up, or you may not be able to light all
burners. If you notice any of the above, then you
should reset the valve and clear your gas line.

this
Ensure the LP gas tank valve is OFR
Disconnect the regulator from the LP gas tank.
Open all burner control knobs including the side
burner to Hi at the same time.
Close all burner control knobs to OFF.
Let the LP gas tank stand for at least i0
minutes.
Reconnect the regulator assembly to the LP gas
tank.
Slowly, meaning about 1/4 turn at a time, turn
on the LP gas valve.
Follow the burner lighting procedures to light
the burner farthest away from the gas source.
The flow limiting valve should now be reset.
This flow limiting valve is triggered by sudden changes
in pressure. This can be caused by a leak, faulty
connection of the regulator to the LP gas tank, turning
on the LP gas tank valve too quickly, or turning the
burners off by turning the LP gas tank valve off before
turning the burner control knobs to off. Note: always
turn off your burners using the burner control knobs
first before turning the LP gas tank valve off.
Transportation and Storage
1. Place a dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet
whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install
the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet
that is provided with the cylinder of propane
valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result
in leakage.
2. Always transport your cylinder in an upright
position.
3. Do not smoke when transporting your cylinder.
Cylinder valve shall be readily accessible for hand
operation. A door on the enclosure to gain access to
the cylinder valves is acceptable, provided it is
nonlocking and can be opened without the use of tools.
Check all connections for LP Gas Leaks
Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to
first use, at the beginning of each season
or every time your LP Gas tank is changed
you must check for gas leaks. Follow
these three steps:
Make a soap solution by mixing one part
liquid detergent and one part water
Turn the burner control knobs to the OFF position.
Then turn the gas ON at the source.
Apply the soap solution to all gas connections
indicated by the arrows. See diagram. If
bubbles appear in the soap solution the
connections are not properly sealed. Check
each fitting and tighten or repair as
necessary.

Your new gas grill operates on Natural Gas. It is
colorless and odorless in its natural form. The form of
natural gas that is delivered to your home is almost
pure methane.
Your grill is designed to operate on natural gas only.
Do not, for safety reasons, use any other type of fuel.
Your grill operates at 7" water column pressure.
Contact your local gas utility for the gas pressure in
your area.
Contact your local municipality for any building code
requirements in your area.
NATURAL GAS CONNECTION
A shut-off valve should already be installed at the gas
source outside of the house or where the pipe exits the
ground. If not, then one must be installed before
installing the quick-disconnect hose for your grill.
Attach the quick-disconnect socket to the shut-off

Cleaning Exterior Surfaces:
Cleaning The Cooking Grates
Wash your cooking grates in a mild soap and
warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth,
vegetable brush, or brass bristled brush.
Never use any type of steel bristled brush. Dry
them when finished.
Cleaning the Heat Diffusers
Wash the heat diffusers periodically in a soap and
warm water solution. Use a vegetable brush to
remove stubborn burnt-on cooking residue. Dry the
heat diffusers thoroughly before you reinstall them
into the firebox.
Cleaning the Grease Tray and Pan
To reduce the chance of fire, the grease tray and
grease pan should be visually inspected before each
grill use. Remove any grease and wash both with a
mild soap and warm water solution.
Cleaning the Znside of the Grill Lid
Grease can have a tendency to build up on the inside
of the grill lid and could drip onto the deck or patio
when the lid is opened. Visually inspect the inside of
the grill lid before each grill use. Remove any grease
and wash with a mild soap and warm water solution.
Annual Cleaning of the Grill Interior
Burning-off excess food after every cookout will
keep it ready for instant use. We recommend you
periodically give the entire grill a thorough cleaning
to minimize your risk of grease fire and keep the grill
in good shape. Follow these steps:
1. Turn all burner valves to the "OFF" position.
2. Turn the LP gas tank valve to the "OFF"
position.
3. Disconnect the regulator assembly from the
gas tank. Inspect the hose for cracking, cuts or
any other damage, and replace as necessary.
Refer to the Parts List in this Operator's
Manual.
4. Remove and clean the cooking grates, heat
diffusers, warming rack, burners, and grease
tray.
5. Cover each gas valve orifice with aluminum
foil.
6. Brush the inside and bottom of the grill with a
fiber pad or nylon brush and wash with a mild
soap and warm water solution. Rinse
thoroughly and let dry.
7. Remove aluminum foil from orifices and check
each orifice for obstruction.
8. Replace the burners, ensuring the burners fit
down over each valve orifice.
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces:
Wash with a mild dish soap and warm water
solution. A cloth, soft brush, or plastic cleaning
pad can be used. Rinse thoroughly and wipe
dry.
Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:
Wash with a mild dish soap and warm water
solution. Clean and polish with a stainless steel
cleaner. There are many good quality stainless
steel cleaners and polishes available. Follow
the manufacturer's directions. Always polish in
the direction of the lines. Do not allow dirt and
grease to accumulate. Do not use steel wool as
it will scratch the surface. Do not use abrasive
cleaners and scrubbers.
CAUTION:
Heat, weathering, machine oils used in the
manufacturing of stainless steel, and dirt can all
cause exterior stainless steel surfaces to turn
tan in color. In addition, the following products
and naturally occurring substances in the
outdoors will damage all stainless steel finishes.
Use caution so they will not come in contact
with your grill. Immediately wash them off and
dry the stainless steel should they ever come in
contact with your gas grill. They include, but
are not limited to, pool chemicals (chlorine and
bromine), lawn fertilizer, ice melting salts, sea
or salt water, urine, bird droppings, and tree
sap.
Failure to comply with these instructions may
result in a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in injury.
Keep grill area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
Do not obstruct the flow of air for combustion
and ventilation.
Keep the ventilation openings of the tank
enclosure cabinet free and clear of debris.
22
To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK FIRE you must
clean the burner tubes as follows periodically in
summer and fall, wherever spiders are active in your
area, and if your grill has not been used for an
extended period of time.
1. Turn all burner control knobs to the "OFF"
position.
2. Turn the LP gas tank valve to the "OFF" position.
3. Disconnect the LP gas regulator assembly from
the LP gas tank.
4. Remove the cooking grates, heat tents, grease
cup, and grease tray from the grill.
5. Remove the screw from the rear of each burner
using a Phillips head screwdriver.
6. Carefully lift each burner up and away from the
gas valve orifice.
7. Check and clean burner tubes for insects and
insect nests. A dogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath the grill.
8. Refer to FIGURE1 and use one of these three
cleaning methods:
METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat
hanger into a small hook as shown and run the
hook through the burner tube and inside the
burner several times to remove debris.
METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a flexible
handle and run the brush through the burner
tube and inside the burner several times to
remove any debris.
METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air
through each burner tube. The forced air
should pass debris or obstructions through the
burner and out the ports. Always wear eye
protection if using this method.
Figure I Burner Ports
Small insects, such as spiders, are able to access the
burner tubes. Sometimes they will build nests or
spin webs. In either case, this can block or reduce
the amount of gas flowing through the burner. You
will usually see a smaller flame, or a flame that is
mostly yellow rather than blue, coming from the
burner when this happens. Other signs include the
gill not heating evenly, not reaching temperature, or
burners not igniting. In cases with severe blockage,
this can cause the flame to burn backwards, and
outside of the burner tubes, which can cause
damage to your grill and/or personal injury.
IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE FLOW OF GAS AT
THE LP TANK OR NATURAL GAS VALVE SHOULD
THIS HAPPEN, Wait for the grill to cool, and then
clean all burners.
Regardless of the burner cleaning procedure you use,
we recommend you also complete the following steps
to help prolong burner life.
1. Use a fiber pad or nylon brush to clean the entire
outer surface of each burner until free of food
residue and dirt.
2. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as
an open paper clip.
3. Inspect each burner for damage (cracks or holes)
and if such damage is found, order and install a
new burner. After installation, check to ensure that
the gas valve orifices are correctly placed inside
the ends of the burner tubes. Also check the
position of your electrodes.
4. Never enlarge the burner ports during cleaning.
For safe operation ensure the gas valve assembly
orifice is inside the burner tube before using your
grill. See figure. If the orifice is not inside the
burner tube, lighting the burner may cause
explosion and /or fire resulting in serious bodily
injury _nrl /nr nrnn_rtv d_m,_n_

BURNER FLAMES
Always inspect the burner flame after lighting. A
good flame should be primarily blue with a yellow
tip and have a minimum amount of noise. Some
yellow tips are OK if under one inch. New burners
sometimes have oil residue, which will cause yellow
flame when burning off. Variations in gas supply,
altitude, weather, and other factors can all impact
burner performance. Older grills can also show
more yellow flame as food deposits, oils, and fats
can build up.

Burn-Off
Some of the new parts of your grill could have
residual oils. We recommend you ignite the burners,
turn to "Hi", and lower the lid for 3 to 5 minutes to
burn any oils off before grilling for the first time.
CAUTION: Operating your grill on the "Hi" setting
for longer than five minutes may damage certain
parts of your grill.
Preheating
To preheat, light your grill on "Hi", lower the lid, and
follow this timetable: for high temperature cooking,
preheat grill 3 to 5 minutes; for low temperature
cooking, preheat grill 3 minutes. Preheating is not
necessary to slow cook.
Cooking Temperature
High Setting" The "Hi" control knob setting should
only be used to sear some meats, pre-heat your
grill the first 3-Sminutes and for burning food
residue off the grill for 3-5 minutes after cooking is
complete. Never use the "Hi" setting for extended
cooking.
Medium to Low Settings: Most recipes specify
medium to low settings, including all smoking and
rotisserie cooking, lean cuts of meat, chicken, and
fish.
An Important Note About Cooking Temperature
The outside grilling area is not the controlled
environment that your indoor kitchen is. Many
variables can impact the cooking performance of
your grill, including outside air temperature, wind,
humidity, and altitude. Allow more cooking time for
cold, wind, and higher altitudes. We recommend you
place the grill in an area protected from wind.
Monitor your grill closely and rotate foods as needed
to prevent overcooking and ensure the most
delicious results every time. Experimenting makes
grilling more fun and interesting!
The middle and back primary cooking areas offer the
highest heat for searing and grilling.
The warming rack offers medium heat for preparing
breads and firm vegetables like potatoes and corn
and keeping food warm.
The front primary cooking area offers less heat and
is ideal for preparing delicate foods and also for
keeping cooked foods warm.
Direct Cooking
The direct cooking method is used when food is
placed directly over the lit grill burners. This method
is ideal for searing, grilling, deep frying and
whenever you want foods to have an open-flame
barbecued taste. The lid can be open or closed
depending on your preference.
Indirect Cooking
The indirect cooking method is used for most foods.
Do not place the food directly over a burner to use
this method. Instead, the food should be placed on
the left or right side of your grill with the burner lit
on the opposite side or in the center with the
center burners off. Indirect cooking must be done
with the lid down.
Prepare Cooking Grates for Grilling
Greasing the cooking surface will help keep foods
from sticking and reduce the amount of cleanup
required. Use a brush to apply a thin layer of
cooking oil or vegetable shortening onto each
cooking grate. We do not suggest spray type oils
unless they are specified for high-temperature
cooking. Be sure to coat the entire cooking surface
including edges and any areas with chipped
porcelain.
Flare-Ups
The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can
cause flare-ups. Flare-ups work to color and flavor
your foods, so some flare-ups are preferred. Too
many can work against you though. Reduce
flare-ups by trimming away excess fat, using the
indirect method of grilling, and grilling using lower
temperatures.
Using the Back Burner (If Equipped)
The back burner is used when cooking with a
rotisserie, wh:.ch _sscld sep__r__te!y. Please follow
the points below when using the back burner.
1. Always remove the warming rack.
2. Do not use the main burners when the back
burner is in use.
3. Use an aluminum foil pan to catch the juices
that drip down from the food.
Allowing grease to gather in the bottom of the
firebox could create a grease fire the next
time the main burners are used.
24
Never line the bottom of the firebox with
aluminum foil, sand or any substance that will
restrict the flow of grease into the grease tray
or cup.
Before each use, pull out the grease tray and
remove all grease and food debris to prevent a
grease fire hazard.
Your grill will get very hot. Always wear a
flame retardant BBQ Mitt when cooking on your
grill. Never lean over cooking areas while using
grill. Do not touch cooking surfaces, lid, grill
housing or other parts while grill is in operation,
or until the grill has cooled down after use.

back of the firebox.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INSTRUCTIONS
1. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse
cord or plugs in water or other liquid;
2. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before
cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking
off parts;
3. Do not operate any outdoor cooking gas appliance
with a damaged cord, plug, or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
Contact the manufacturer for repair;
4. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or
touch hot surfaces;
5. Do not use an outdoor cooking gas appliance for
purposes other than intended;
6. Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GF[)
protected circuit with this outdoor cooking gas
appliance;
7. Never remove the grounding plug or use with an
adapter of 2 prongs;
8. Use only extension cords with a 3 prong grounding
plug, rated for the power of the equipment, and
approved for outdoor use with a W-A marking.
Do not use the Rotisserie burner when the main
burners are in use.
Remove the warming rack when the back burner
and rotisserie are in use.
Always use a Drip Pan to catch all drippings from
the food when using the rotisserie. Failure to do
could allow excess grease to accumulate in the
bottom of the firebox which could cause a fire.
Do not operate your Rotisserie Motor in the rain
or expose it to moisture.

OPERATING THE INFRARED SEARING BURNER
61 Remove food from the infrared searing burner
immediately after searing. Cook on the main
burner sections to your desired preference.
Searing Burner
Searing food is used in many fine restaurants
throughout the country. It can be a challenge though
as it cooks at a higher heat, When done correctly,
searing will help hold in flavor making food more moist.
Personal tastes along with types and thickness of cuts
of meat vary so experiment to get the results you
desire. In general, follow the hints below.
1. Searing should always be done at the beginning of
cooking.
2, Turn on the infrared searing burner and preheat
the grill for about 5 minutes. The searing burner
should always be used on the Hi setting to sear
food.
3, Infrared searing burners produce very hot and
concentrated heat. Therefore, we recommend
searing each side of your food for no longer than 1
to 2 minutes at a time to avoid charring and
flare-ups.
4. You can rotate food 90 degrees to obtain cross
searing marks.
Never use water to control flare-ups when using
an infrared searing burner. Water will crack the
hot porcelain on the burner and damage your
burner.
CARE OF THE INFRARED SEARING BURNER
Infrared searing burners have ceramic surfaces, so
care must be taken to avoid damage.
1. Never allow water or moisture to come in contact
with a hot burner as it can crack the ceramic and
damage your burner.
2. Never allow hard or heavy objects to impact the
surface, Use special care when removing grates as
they can damage the ceramic surface if dropped.
5, While infrared searing burners will vaporize most
grease and drippings, it is a good idea to control
flare-ups by trimming excess fat and repositioning
meat during cooking.

coated with grease and dirt. Clean with
rubbing alcohol.
2. Inspect the distance from the electrode to the
burner. It should be 1/8 to 1/4 inch from the
main burner and 1/8 to 3/16 inch from the
side burner.
Question:
sometimes Ihear a humming sound coming
from my regulator. What causes this?
Answer:
The humming sound is gas flowing through the
regulator. This is more likely to occur in periods
of high gas flow. A low volume of sound is
normal and will not interfere with the operation
of your grill.
Question:
My grill has a low flame on some burners,
or some burners will not light at all. What
can cause this?
Answer
This can be caused by the flow limiting device,
which is generally triggered by a sudden change
in pressure. Opening the tank valve too fast or
shutting the burners off using the tank valve can
cause this. To reset:
1. Close the LP tank valve and disconnect
the regulator assembly from the tank.
2. Let the LP tank sit for 10 minutes.
3. Open all burner control knobs, including
the side burner, to "Hi" at the same time.
4. Close all burner control knobs.
5. Reconnect the gas regulator to the LP
tank.
6. Follow the burner lighting procedures
and light the burner farthest from the LP
tank.

Question:
Where do I use my grill for safer operation
and better performance?
Answer:
Strong winds and low temperatures can affect
the heating and performance of your gas grill so
factor in these elements when positioning your
grill outdoors for cooking.
Use your grill at least 3 feet away from any wall
or surface.
Use your grill at least 3 feet away from
combustible objects that can melt or catch fire
(such as vinyl or wood siding, fence and
overhangs) or sources of ignition including pilot
lights on water heaters and live electrical
appliances.
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.
Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air around
your gas grill housing.
Question:
The Regulator and Hose supplied with my
gas grill does not fit the older LP Gas Tank
I've used for years. Why not?
Answer:
The U.S. Government regulates gas appliances
and LP gas tanks. When regulations are changed
the LP gas tank fittings are altered to insure
compliance. If your LP gas tank does not fit the
regulator and hose assembly supplied with your
new grill, then the tank is outdated and must be
replaced. Note: Effective April 1, 2002 all LP gas
tanks sold must include an "OPD" Overfill
Prevention Device. The OPD tanks are identified
by their triangular-shaped valve wheel. This
internal device prevents the LP gas tank from
being overfilled. Tanks without an OPD valve can
no longer be refilled.
Question:
can I clean parts of my grill, such as the
cooking grates and heat tents, in a
self-cleaning oven?
Answer:
No. You should not clean any part of your grill in
a self-cleaning oven.
Question:
What can I do to keep my cast iron grates
from rusting?
Answer:
Cast iron grates do require special care. We
recommend you first season new grates. Wash
new grates with dishwashing liquid, rinse, and dry
completely with a soft cloth. Never wash them in a
dishwasher. We recommend you use a solid
vegetable shortening over the grates to season
them the first time. Spread athin coating with a
paper towel over the entire surface, corners, and
edges. Preheat your grill to 500 degrees. Turn half
your burners to "LOW" and half "OFF", and place
grates in the firebox for about an hour. Shut off all
burners and allow the grates to cool. We
recommend you coat the grates with aliquid
vegetable oil before each use. We do not suggest
spray type oils unless they are specified for high
temperature cooking.
Question:
Is it safe to clean my porcelain coated
cooking grates in the dishwasher?
Answer:
No. You should not clean any grill parts in your
Dishwasher. We recommend you clean all parts of
your grill, including the cooking grates, by hand.
