Care and Maintenance
To assure safe and proper maintenance, we recommend you follow these directions carefully.
Clean internal parts of the grill regularly as determined by the amount of use and foods cooked. The entire grill
should be cleaned at least once a year.
In addition, keep the area around your grill or cart clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
Cooking Grates
Use a solution equal parts detergent and hot water
just as you would for any cooking equipment. A stiff
brush may also be helpful in removing grime and food
deposits.
Hood and Body
Wipe the inside hood and body with detergent and hot
water. The external surfaces may be cleaned in the
same fashion. Wipe all area dry before storing.
Storage
For your safety, make sure unit is cool and wood and
charcoal embers completely extinguished before
storing.
Drip Pan
The full width drip pan will collect grease from the main
grill area. The pan should be cleaned after every use
to avoid the possibility of a grease fire. Be sure to allow
the drip pan to cool prior to cleaning. You may clean
the drip pan with a solution of warm soapy water. Make
sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid staining.
Care of Stainless Steel
Do NOT use wire wool pads, scrappers, harsh
abrasive, scoring materials, bleaches, or harsh
cleaners on your cart or grill, or allow salt and vinegar
mixtures to remain in contact for a long period of time.
This will cause scratching, scoring, rusting and pitting.
We recommend that you clean stainless steel
components with a cleaner that is approved for
stainless steel and only clean when the grill is cool and
in indirect light. Never use steel wool.
Covering Your Cart or Grill
When not in use and after cooling, cover your cart or
grill with our full length, zippered side canvas cover.
(See your local Cal Flame dealer for details.) The
cover will help protect your cart or grill from detrimental
effects of weather and environmental pollutants. Never
put a cover on a hot grill. Allow the grill to cool before
covering.
After Use Care
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after
cooking is completed and after turning off the flame.
Scrub the grill rack with a brass bristle barbecue
brush and hot soapy water.
Wipe the grill with a damp soapy cloth and rinse
with warm/hot, clean water. For more tenacious
deposits, including oil, grease and water-borne
deposits, use a multipurpose cream cleanser and
apply with a soft, damp cloth.
Dry with a soft, dry, clean towel if preferred.
Be sure appliance is off and all parts are cool
before handling or cleaning. This is to avoid
damage and possible burns.
To prevent staining or discoloration, clean
appliance after each use.
If a part is removed, be sure it is correctly replaced.

Warning
NEVER cover the entire cooking or grill surface with griddles or pans. Overheating will occur and the grill will
not perform properly when heat is trapped below the cooking surface.
CAUTION: NEVER spray water on a hot unit.
