First, cover the valve orifice area (fig. 22) and any ignitor wires with a protective cloth or plastic, or aluminum foil.



Secondly, scrape off heavy grease or cooking debris accumulation with a putty knife or scraper (fig. 23).
Lastly, vacuum the dry debris with a shop vac or scrub the interior with a strong detergent solution. Rinse, and let dry. Remove protective covers installed earlier.

Do not paint the interior of the grill.



With the grill interior now cleaned, we can move on to step 5 and tidy up the exterior of the grill.
