- Keep the gas grill clean to protect it from excessive buildup and rusting. Wash the cooking grills, burners and heat distribution plates in hot, soapy water and rinse; dry thoroughly before placing back in the grill. Wipe the inside and outside of the base with a damp cloth. Use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the exterior if your grill has a stainless steel base.
- Apply a coating of vegetable oil to the interior to prevent rusting. Spray the cooking grills with a vegetable oil spray to prevent rusting. Buff out rust spots on the interior. After buffing, clean the interior and apply a coat of vegetable oil.
- Check the burner flames for correct operation regularly -- at least twice a year. Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws. Inspect the burners and heat distribution plates for cracks or other damage and replace, if needed.
When inspecting the burners, test if each port is clear by blowing compressed air into it; the air should come out both sides. Test for gas leaks whenever your gas cylinder is replaced, after moving the grill or after you have not used the grill for more than 60 days. Use a mixture of 50 percent water and 50 percent liquid dish-washing soap to apply to the the connecting hoses and other pieces extending from the tank to the grill. Spray the mixture on these parts and turn the valve on. If any part starts to bubble, you have a gas leak on that part. - Close the cylinder valve fully before storing your grill. Clean all interior parts and the exterior thoroughly. Coat the burners with cooking oil to prevent rust. If storing the grill outside, cover the grill with a grill cover. If storing the grill inside, remove the LP tank and store it outdoors.
Clean the burners prior to using, if you store the gas grill. Some insects can build nests in the burner tubes, and the nests may start a fire.
