Maintenance Tips 

1. Clean Grates After Each Use: Use a grill brush while the grates are still warm to remove food particles and prevent buildup.
2. Inspect Gas Connections: Check gas lines, hoses, and connections for leaks before each use. Apply soapy water to test for leaks (bubbles will indicate leaks).
3. Clean Burners and Flame Tamers: Clean the burners and flame tamers regularly to prevent food or grease buildup, which can affect heat distribution and flame performance.
4. Empty and Clean Drip Tray: After each use, empty and clean the drip tray to prevent grease accumulation and avoid flare-ups.
5. Oil the Grates: Lightly oil the grates before cooking to help prevent food from sticking and to preserve their condition.
6. Check for Rust: Inspect the grill components for signs of rust, particularly the grates and burners. Replace parts that are rusted or severely worn.
7. Cover the Grill: Use a protective cover when the grill is not in use to shield it from the elements, preventing rust and weather damage.
8. Check Flame Color: Ensure that the burners are producing a consistent blue flame. Yellow or orange flames may indicate issues with the gas flow or dirty burners.
9. Maintain Gas Flow: Regularly check for consistent gas flow to all burners, adjusting as needed to ensure even heat across the cooking surface.
10. Annual Professional Inspection: Have the grill inspected by a professional annually to check for gas leaks, burner condition, and overall performance.
