Keeping your NAPOLEON PRO285X TravelQ portable BBQ in top shape is key to great grilling! Here's how to properly clean and maintain it for years of delicious meals and safe operation:
-
Cleaning the Cooking Grids: Hand-wash the cast iron cooking grids with mild dish soap and water to remove food residue. Rinse thoroughly with hot water and dry completely with a soft cloth. Season the grids by coating them with vegetable shortening before pre-heating your grill.
-
Cleaning Inside the Gas Grill: Remove the cooking grids and use a brass wire brush to scrub loose debris from the sides and under the lid. Brush all debris into the removable drip pan.
-
Cleaning the Drip Pan: Slide the drip pan out and scrape away any grease and drippings. Avoid lining the drip pan with aluminum foil or other materials.
-
Cleaning the Outer Grill Surface: Clean the exterior surfaces with warm, soapy water while the metal is still warm. Use a stainless steel or non-abrasive cleaner on stainless steel surfaces, wiping in the direction of the grain.
-
Burner Maintenance: Inspect the burner for any blockages or corrosion, and clean with a brass wire brush. Ensure the insect screen is clean, secure, and free of debris.
-
General Maintenance: Have your gas grill professionally inspected and serviced annually by a qualified technician. Keep the grilling area clear of flammable materials and ensure proper ventilation. For more detailed instructions and troubleshooting advice, please consult your NAPOLEON PRO285X TravelQ portable BBQ's instruction manual or contact the Napoleon dealer where you purchased your grill.
