Maintenance Tips
- Clean daily: Remove cast iron grates and scrape off food residue and grease; brush carbon buildup after burn‑off to maintain even heat and prevent flare‑ups.
- Empty grease pan/trough: Pull and wash the bottom grease collection drawer each day to reduce fire risk and keep drains clear.
- Clean radiants: Brush or wash stainless steel radiants periodically to ensure even heat distribution and self‑cleaning function.
- Inspect burners & ports: Check burner flame quality and clean clogged ports with a soft brush or appropriate tool to maintain efficient combustion.
- Check gas fittings: Periodically inspect gas connections and valves for leaks or wear; professional service is recommended for safety adjustments.
- Condition grates: After deep cleaning, season cast iron grates with a thin layer of oil to protect against rust and improve searing.
- Wipe exterior: Clean stainless steel surfaces with mild detergent and soft cloth to prevent discoloration and corrosion.
- Level & secure unit: Ensure the charbroiler sits level with adjustable legs locked for stable operation
