Steam Cleaning Your Grill
Griddle
Drip Pan
To prevent burns or injury, make sure the griddle is
completely cool before cleaning.
The griddle is made from non-magnetic, 304 grade
stainless steel. There are various stainless steel
cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning
procedure first, and always scrub in the direction of
the grain. Use soapy water for most cleaning. A non-
abrasive scrubber may also be helpful in removing
grime and food deposits. Steel wool may be used for
especially difficult spots. Wipe all areas dry before
storing.
Steam cleaning the interior of your grill is very
effective and will not void your warranty. Portable
hand-held steam cleaners are inexpensive and do
not require chemicals. You can steam clean all parts
of your Cal Flame grill, including the burners. When
you are finished, make sure you wipe all surfaces
down.
If you spray the burners, ignite them and let them
burn for about 10 minutes to prevent any water
from accumulating inside them.
Thoroughly clean stains, food, and grime using a sponge or damp cloth with warm water and a mild dish soap.
Use Fantastik or Formula 409 to remove heavier soil.
Thoroughly rinse all surfaces and dry them completely with a clean towel. Do not allow water to accumulate
and puddle on stainless steel. Water from various sources such as garden hoses contains iron which will give
the appearance of rusting on stainless steel. If allowed to stand for long periods of time on stainless steel, it
will cause pitting.
Cleaning the Interior of Your Grill
The racksbars can all be removed for cleaning and
are dishwasher safe.
Use a solution equal parts detergent and hot water
just as you would for any cooking equipment. A
stiff wire brush or steel wool may also be helpful in
removing grime and food deposits.
Note
Do not use a wire brush or stainless steel
on any other part of your grill or any
other stainless steel surface except the
cooking grates or the griddle!
Cooking Grates
Charcoal Pan
For your safety, make sure unit is cool and wood and
charcoal embers completely extinguished before
storing.
Remove the ashes as soon as possible after each
use. Wait until the charcoal has cooled, slide out
the drip pan and pour out the ashes. You can save
the larger pieces of charcoal for the next time you
cook. Use a garden hose to wash out accumulated
grease and ashes. Allow the drip pan to dry before
reinserting into the grill.
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.
