  2. Allow the grill to heat for 15 minutes.

  5. Allow the grill grates to cool. Remove the grates from the grill.

Tips

Create a powerful cleaner by combining an equal amount of lemon juice and water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution onto the grates and scrub them with a wire grill brush.

Remove difficult burned areas with a sharp razor blade once the burners cool.

Wipe down the exterior of the infrared grill with warm soapy water and a washcloth.

Follow the cleaning instructions listed in the owner's manual for best results.

Warnings

Avoid using abrasive cleaners to clean an infrared grill because they can scratch and damage the surface.
