Extend the life of your grill with regular maintenance
To ensure that your gas grill lasts as long as possible, it must be cleaned and maintained regularly. It is particularly important to carry out in-depth fall maintenance of the grill before it is placed in winter storage.
First
Turn on the grill and heat it up to more than 250 °C. This will burn any fat, marinade and food residue left on the grid into carbon. Let the grill cool down to lukewarm.
Grates and griddels
Spray the grill grates and griddles with Mustang grill grid cleaning fluid. Let it sit and clean the grates and griddles with a grill cleaning brush. Scrape off stubborn dirt and grease with a grill scraper. Then, wipe the grill grates and griddles clean of any loose dirt with a cloth. If necessary, you can wash the grill grates and griddles in the sink, as well. Dry thoroughly after washing. Please note! If you have cast iron grates and griddles, only use hot water and a cleaning brush to wash them. Cast iron parts must not be washed with detergent. However, the Mustang grill grid cleaning fluid is also suitable for the cleaning of cast iron parts.
Heat distribution plates
Spray the heat distribution plates with Mustang grid cleaning fluid or grill cleaning fluid and allow it to work. Clean the heat distribution plates with a BBQ cleaning brush and finish the cleaning with a Mustang microfiber cloth. You can also wash the heat distribution plates in the sink. Dry the heat distribution plates after cleaning.
Inner surfaces
Spray Mustang grid cleaning fluid or grill cleaning fluid onto the inner surfaces of the grill and allow it to work. Use the Mustang cleaning pad to wipe the inner surfaces of the grill clean. Finish the cleaning with a Mustang microfiber cloth.
Grease tray
Clean the grease tray by spraying Mustang grid cleaning fluid or grill cleaning fluid onto it and allow it to work. Use the Mustang cleaning pad to wipe the grease tray clean. Finish the cleaning with a Mustang microfiber cloth. You can also wash the grease tray in the sink.
Outside surface
Clean the outside surface of the grill by spraying Mustang grid cleaning fluid or grill cleaning fluid onto it and allow it to work. Use the Mustang cleaning pad to wipe the grease tray clean. Please note! Use the smooth surface of the cleaning pad to clean the outside surfaces of the grill. You can also use Mustang wet tissues to clean the outside surfaces. Finish the cleaning with a Mustang microfiber cloth. If necessary, rinse the cleaned surfaces with water.
Lastly
After cleaning the grill, place the heat distribution plates, grates and griddles back in the grill. Turn on the grill and heat it up to remove moisture from all of the grill parts. Let the grill cool down.
Once cooled, protect the grill with a grill cover. However, do not tighten the cover too tightly, as air must be allowed to circulate under the cover.
We recommend storing the heat distribution plates, grids and griddles in a dry, warm place, although otherwise the grill can be stored outside when covered. Please note that falling snow from the roof should not be able to fall onto the grill in winter.
If you clean your grill after each use and carry out a more thorough cleaning at regular intervals, the grill and its parts will stay in better condition for longer. And it is always much nicer to start grilling with a clean, well-maintained grill.
