Answer:

To clean the Wolf Outdoor Gas Grill

• Refer to the product Use and Care Guide and the Wolf Cleaning Guide.
• Do not line the drip tray with foil.
• About the briquette trays

It is not necessary to clean the ceramic briquettes after every grilling. They will burn themselves clean during the next cooking cycle.

For periodic cleaning:

If desired, operate the grill on high for 10–12 minutes to burn the briquettes clean.

Allow briquette trays to cool.

Remove trays from the grill, shake off loose debris, and wipe trays clean.
