: Stainless steel tends to oxidize or stain in the presence of chlorides and suldes, parcularly in coastal
areas and other harsh environments, such as the warm, highly humid atmosphere around pools and hot tubs.
These stains could be perceived as rust, but can be easily removed or prevented. To provide stain prevenon
and removal, wash all stainless steel surfaces every 3-4 weeks or as oen as required with fresh water and/or
stainless steel cleaner.
: The grids and warming rack are best cleaned with a brass wire brush during the pre-
heang period. Steel wool can be used for stubborn stains. It is normal that stainless grids (if equipped) will
discolor permanently from regular usage due to the high temperature of the cooking surface.
: The cast iron cooking grids supplied with your new grill oer superior heat retenon
and distribuon. By regularly seasoning your grids you are adding a protecve coang, which will aid in resist-
ing corrosion and increase your grids non-sck capabilies.
: Wash the cooking grids by hand with mild dish soap and water to remove any residue from
the manufacturing process (never wash in a dish washer). Rinse thoroughly with hot water and dry completely
with a so cloth. This is important to avoid moisture from entering the cast iron.
: Using a so cloth, spread VEGETABLE SHORTENING over the enre grid surface ensuring all grooves
and corners are covered. Do not use salted fats such as buer or margarine. Pre-heat your grill for 15 min-
utes, then place the seasoned cooking grids in the grill. Turn the burner control knobs to medium with the
lid closed. Allow the cooking grids to heat for approximately one-half hour. Turn all the burners to the “OFF”
posion and turn the gas o at the source. Let the cooking grids stand unl cool. This procedure should be
repeated several mes throughout the season, although it is not required for daily use (follow daily usage
procedure below).
: Before pre-heang, and cleaning with a brass wire grill brush, coat the enre top surface of the
cooking grids with VEGETABLE SHORTENING. Pre-heat the grill and then brush away any unwanted residue
with a brass wire brush.
: (upgrade kit available - see replacement parts list). Stainless steel cooking grids
are durable and corrosion resistant. They require less seasoning and maintenance then cast iron cooking grids.
It is recommended that you follow the daily usage procedure listed above although you may nd pre-heang
and cleaning your grids with a wire brush is sucient for your grilling needs.
: The control panel text is printed directly on the stainless steel and with proper maintenance will
remain dark and legible. To clean the panel, use only warm soapy water or Connental brand stainless steel
cleaner available from your Ultra Chef dealer. Never apply abrasive cleaners on any stainless surfaces, espe-
cially the printed poron of the control panel or the prinng will gradually rub o.
: Remove the cooking grids. Use a brass wire brush to clean loose debris from
the casng sides and underneath the lid. Scrape the sear plates with a puy knife or scraper, and use a wire
brush to remove the ash. Remove the sear plates and brush debris from the burners with the brass wire brush.
Sweep all debris from inside the gas grill into the drip pan.
: Accumulated grease is a re hazard. Clean the drip pan frequently (every 4 – 5 uses or as oen as re-
quired) to avoid grease buildup. Grease and excess drippings pass through to the grease tray, located beneath
the gas grill and accumulate in the disposable grease tray below the grill. To access the disposable grease tray
or to clean the drip pan, slide the drip pan free of the grill. Never line the drip pan with aluminum foil, sand or
any other material as this could prevent the grease from owing properly. The pan should be scraped out with
a puy knife or scraper. Replace the disposable grease tray every 2 – 4 weeks, depending on gas grill usage.
For supplies, see your Ultra Chef Gas Grill dealer.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on any painted, porcelain or stain-
less steel parts of your Ultra Chef Grill. Doing so will scratch the nish. Exterior grill surfaces should be cleaned
with warm soapy water while the metal is sll warm to the touch. To clean stainless surfaces, use a stainless
steel or a non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direcon of the grain. Over me, stainless steel parts
discolor when heated, usually to a golden or brown hue. This discoloraon is normal and does not aect the
performance of the grill. Porcelain enamel components must be handled with addional care. The baked-on
enamel nish is glass-like, and will chip if struck. Touch-up enamel is available from your Ultra Chef Grill dealer.
Clean side shelves with warm soapy water and a plasc bristled brush.
