Locate the gas supply valve on the propane tank for LP grills and where the grill connects to the house for LNG supplied grills. Turn the knob or lever clockwise to shut off the gas supply running into the grill. Remember “righty-tighty, lefty-loosey” to close and open valves.
Fill a bucket with soapy water made from teaspoon of liquid dish soap for every quart of water. Dip the wire brush in the water and scrub away any grimy build up present on the grates. Be sure to clean both sides of the grates.
Clean the burner protectors by scrubbing with sponge or scouring pad dipped in soapy water.
Burner covers and grill grates usually rest in place. Look for groves or ledges to place these items back in the proper location.
Dip a paper towel in canola oil. Use tongs to rub the oily towel over the surface of the hot grates.
If your drip pan is not disposable, wipe out the grease with paper towels. After removing as much grease as possible rinse the drip pan with a solution of soapy water.
Pay close attention to the areas around the knobs to remove any drips that may have accumulated. Wipe the side panels or burners with the soapy water as well.
Use a rag or brush to apply soapy water along the length of the gas line. Make sure to apply soapy water liberally around the connections and valves. Look for any bubbles that indicate gas is leaking causing a potentially dangerous situation.
Turn the burners on high. Close the lid to burn up any drippings that have fallen on the burner protectors. Allow the heat to build up inside the grill for 10-15 minutes.
