Maintenance
Cleaning the Cooking Grates
- After each use, while the grill is still warm, use a grill brush to remove food residue from the ThermoGrill grate.
- For deeper cleaning, allow the grates to cool, then wash with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Exterior Cleaning
- Wipe down stainless steel surfaces with a soft cloth and a stainless steel cleaner.
- Clean painted surfaces with mild soap and water.
- The grill's rust and weather-resistant steel construction helps maintain its appearance, but regular cleaning is recommended.
Gas System Check
- Periodically check the hose and regulator for any signs of wear, cuts, or cracks. Replace if damaged.
- Re-perform a leak test on all gas connections if the grill has been moved or if the propane tank has been replaced.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Burner fails to ignite | No gas flow, clogged burner port, faulty igniter. | Check propane tank level and valve. Clean burner ports. Check igniter electrode and wire. |
| Low flame or uneven heat | Low gas pressure, partially clogged burner, regulator issue. | Ensure propane tank is not low. Clean burner. Check regulator for proper function. |
| Gas odor | Gas leak. | Immediately turn off gas at the tank. Perform a leak test on all connections. Do not operate until leak is resolved. |
