Why should I clean my gas grill?

Regular cleaning not only extends the life of its components but also improves cooking performance. Burners clogged with grease and grime can restrict gas flow, reducing the grill’s ability to properly heat the cooking grates. Routine cleaning helps prevent corrosion that can damage your outdoor kitchen and keeps your looking clean, well maintained, and easy to use.

How to clean your gas grill:

1. Ensure the grill is completely cool. Brush or scrape built-up carbon from the underside of the lid, then clean the cooking grates to remove leftover debris.

2. Clean the Flavorizer Bars® by brushing or scraping awa debris. Apply food-safe degreaser and scrub the bars and grates with a non-abrasive pad to remove grease and grime. This step is essential for restoring proper grill performance.

3. Using a clean brush, clear rust and debris from the burner ports by brushing across the openings-not along the length of the burner. Burners should be cleaned once or twice per year.

4. Scrape any accumulated debris from the sides and bottom of the cookbox and push it into the slide-out grease tray.

5. Empty the grease tray into the drip pan, wipe the tray clean, and replace the drip pan. Check and clean the grease tray regularly.

6. Inspect all hoses for cracks or wear, and test gas connections-including LP tanks-for leaks using a soapy water solution. With the control knobs off, apply the solution to each connection and turn on the gas. If bubbles appear, a leak is present. Do not operate the grill if a leak is detected.
