Maintenance Tips 

1. Clean Grates After Each Use: While still warm, use a grill brush to clean the grates, removing food debris and grease. This helps prevent buildup and keeps the cooking surface smooth.
2. Inspect Gas Connections: Before every use, check all gas lines, hoses, and connections for leaks. Apply soapy water to check for bubbles, which indicate a gas leak.
3. Clean Burners and Flame Tamers: Regularly clean the burners and flame tamers to ensure even heat distribution and prevent grease or food buildup from affecting performance.
4. Empty and Clean Drip Tray: After every grilling session, clean out the drip tray to avoid grease buildup, which can cause flare-ups or uneven cooking.
5. Oil the Grates: Lightly oil the grates before cooking to prevent food from sticking and to keep the grates in good condition.
6. Check for Rust: Regularly inspect the grill for rust, especially on metal parts like the grates and burners. Replace any rusted components to maintain optimal function.
7. Cover When Not in Use: When the grill is not in use, protect it with a weather-resistant cover to shield it from the elements and prevent wear.
8. Monitor Flame Color: Ensure the burners produce a consistent blue flame. Yellow or orange flames could signal burner clogs or gas flow issues.
9. Check Gas Flow: Verify that the gas is flowing evenly to all burners for consistent heat, ensuring reliable cooking performance.
10. Annual Professional Inspection: Have a professional inspect your grill annually to check for gas leaks, burner performance, and overall safety and efficiency.
