Maintenance Tips
- Brush and clean cast iron grates daily while warm to remove grease and carbon buildup for consistent searing performance.
- Empty and thoroughly clean the grease pan frequently to prevent flare-ups and maintain safe operation.
- Clean radiant burners/heat deflectors regularly and remove any debris to ensure even heat distribution.
- Inspect burner ports and clear blockages with a soft wire brush to maintain proper gas flow and flame stability.
- Wipe stainless steel surfaces daily with warm soapy water and dry completely to prevent corrosion and buildup.
- Avoid covering grates or attempting “burn-off” cleaning, as it can overheat and warp components.
- Check gas valves and connections periodically for leaks, wear, or looseness to ensure safe operation.
- Do not use water directly on hot grates or burners to avoid damage and thermal shock.
- Schedule routine professional servicing to maintain BTU output, ignition reliability, and long-term durability.
