5.1 Cleaning the Cooking Grates

The porcelain-coated cooking grates are designed to prevent food from sticking and are easy to clean. After each use, once the grill has cooled, use a grill brush to remove any food residue. For deeper cleaning, the grates can be washed with warm, soapy water.

Regularly wipe down the exterior surfaces, including the stainless steel handle and porcelain-coated steel lid and firebox, with a damp cloth to remove grease and dirt. This helps maintain the grill's appearance and prolong its lifespan. Store the grill in a dry, protected area when not in use, or cover it with a suitable grill cover.
