Keep Your Grill Looking Great... Inside and Out!

Courtesy Appliance Factory Parts

Grill interior:

  • First cover the valve gas jet area and any ignitor wires with a protective cloth or plastic, or aluminum foil (Fig. 1)
  • Scrape off heavy grease or cooking debris accumulation with a putty knife or scraper (Fig. 2)
  • Next vacuum the dry debris with a vacuum or scrub the interior with a strong detergent solution (Fig. 2)
  • Rinse, and let dry
  • Remove protective covers installed earlier

* Do not paint the interior of your grill

Grill exterior:

  • If the grill is not badly oxidized (whitened), a good warm water and detergent solution will brighten it's appearance
  • A light coating of cooking oil evenly applied will actually restore the black color

Did this help? If not you may want to try:

  • Paint the castings, which will restore them to near new condition
  • To remove heavy oxidization on the grill's exterior, brush with steel wool or a wire brush
  • Lightly sand the whole grill, then rinse
  • Make sure no grease remains, as the paint will not adhere
  • Using a good quality grill paint, lightly coat the whole exterior (Fig. 3)
    - Two or three light coats are better than one heavy coat
  • Let air dry
    - The paint will bake on during it's first use
