Periodic Grill Maintenance
Stainless Steel Working Surfaces
ALWAYS clean dirt and dust off all stainless steel surfaces before you begin to cook. The dirt can cook into the
metal and discolor it. Dirt can be easily cleaned with hot soapy water and a soft cloth. There are also many
commercial products made to clean and protect your stainless steel surfaces.
Painted Surfaces
Your painted surfaces have a very durable high temp powder coat finish. The surfaces can be cleaned with
mild soap and water and wiped with a soft rag.
Flavorizer
It is recommended that you remove any build up of food or grease from the flavorizer after each use. A clean
flavorizer further reduces flare ups. Brush or scrape any build up off of the flavorizer with a grill brush or putty
knife. Never clean the flavorizer while it is hot.
Firebox and Hood
Because the firebox is used to channel the fan-forced air into the burn pot, there is very little maintenance to be
done in this area. Occasionally, you may either vacuum or brush out any build-up of ash or burn debris that
has fallen below the burn grate. Remove any accumulation of grease or debris on the inside surfaces.
Stainless Steel Burn Pot and Igniter
Periodically check the air holes found in the burn pot for any blockages or build-ups. Using a wire brush,
scrape off any build up or blockage. When reinstalling, confirm the proper positioning in the burn pot. The burn
pot should be level from side to side and from front to back and should have a snug but not tight fit. You will
also want to visually check the air holes in the igniter tube. Clean any debris or blockage out of both areas to
ensure a perfect start.
Grease Channels
Always be sure the grease channels on the right side of the burn pot are clean and free of debris. During the
warmer months empty any grease build-up on a more frequent basis to keep it from going rancid.
Grill Cover
Keep your Memphis Convection Grill Cover clean. This is your best protection against mildew which will form
on any dirt or foreign material allowed to accumulate on tops or bottoms of fabric. Use a cleaner such as
Armor-All, or a product that will not only clean but also protect. Have any small tears or punctures repaired
promptly. Keep away from pets. Keep all shrubs and vines away from your grill cover as many plants contain
acids, which harm fabrics. Do not cover your grill while the grill is still hot. Do not store anything on the top of
your grill cover. Do not permit leaves, twigs or other organic debris to remain on the cover for long periods of
time. Do not use high-pressure hoses or steam to clean or use stiff brushes, harsh detergents, abrasive
cleaners or chlorine on your grill cover. Do not store your cover in the lower grill cabinet while the grill is in
use.
