Charbroil manufactures a line of barbeques, smokers, grills and fryers. One of these is the Charbroil Commercial Series Grill. Light cleaning will be required after each use, with heavier cleaning of the overall grill done periodically. Occasionally the burner assembly will need to be disassembled and cleaned, removing residue or spider infestation that could cause fuel blockage.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Grill brush
  • Mild liquid dish detergent
  • Wash rag
  • Non-abrasive scouring powder
  • Abrasive plastic cleaning pad
  • Narrow bottle brush

    Regular and Periodic Cleaning

  1. Step 1

    Scrape food particles from the grill, using a grill brush. Do after each use, when the grill has cooled down but is still warm. If you wait for the grill to completely cool, the particles can harden on the grill.

  2. Step 2

    Wash plastic parts and painted surfaces with warm soapy water (mild detergent) as needed. Rinse and wipe dry. For stubborn stains, use non-abrasive scouring powder.

  3. Step 3

    Wash stainless steel grills periodically, as needed, using mild detergent and warm water.

  4. Step 4

    Brush an abrasive plastic cleaning pad (with water and mild detergent) in the direction of the finish to remove baked-on grease on stainless steel surfaces. Avoid areas with graphics.

  5. Cleaning the Burner Assembly

  6. Step 1

    Turn off the gas at the LP cylinder and at the control knobs. This is to clean the burner assembly if you have trouble lighting the grill. This can occur when spiders have invaded the grill's venturi tube.

  7. Step 2

    Remove the flame tamers and cooking grates. Remove the carryover tubes and hitch pins from the rear of the burner. Remove the hitch pin to separate the burner from the firebox bracket.

  8. Step 3

    Press the electrode clamp with a flat screwdriver through the clamp notch to detach the electrode from the burner, leaving the electrode in the firebox.

  9. Step 4

    Lift each burner up and away from the valve openings.

  10. Step 5

    Run a narrow bottle brush through each burner tube, several times. Do not use a brass wire brush. The bottle brush should have a flexible handle. Refer to page 13 of the user manual for illustrations. (See References for a link to the manual.)

Tips & Warnings
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners, concentrated grill cleaner or degreasers on the plastic parts of the grill.
  • Do not attempt to burn off stubborn food from grills by closing the lid and turning up the heat. This can cause a fire and damage the grill.
