Maintenance Tips

• Clean Radiant Burners: Regularly inspect and clean the (8) radiant burners with a soft brush to remove grease and food debris, ensuring even heat distribution.

• Maintain Cast Iron Slanted Grates: After each use, clean the cast iron slanted top grates with a wire brush. Season the grates with a light coat of oil to prevent rust.

• Empty and Clean Grease Gutter: Regularly empty the full-width grease gutter and clean it with warm, soapy water. This prevents grease buildup, which can pose a fire hazard.

• Wipe Down Stainless Steel Surfaces: Use a non-abrasive cleaner to clean the stainless steel front, sides, and 5" landing ledge, maintaining a polished, rust-free appearance.

• Clean Removable Drip Pan: Regularly remove the drip pan and clean it to prevent grease overflow and ensure easy maintenance.

• Inspect and Adjust Burner Flame: Periodically check the burner flames for evenness. If flames are uneven or weak, clean the burner ports and adjust the air shutters as needed.

• Level the Charbroiler: Ensure the charbroiler is stable by adjusting the 4" legs for proper leveling. This prevents wobbling and ensures safe operation.

• Check for Gas Leaks: Regularly inspect the gas connections for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections or contact a technician if needed.
