To clean the Burns Barkles 010381 Smoker Box Charcoal Gas Grill, follow these steps:

1. Allow the grill to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Remove the grill rack and lava stones, if applicable, and set them aside.
3. Light the burners and allow them to burn for 15-20 minutes to burn off any grease.
4. Once the grill has cooled, soak the grill rack in hot water and washing-up liquid. Scrub it with a brush or sponge to remove any residue.
5. Clean the grill casing inside with hot water and washing-up liquid. Use a wire brush, Brillo pad, kitchen sponge, or equivalent to remove any spots or stubborn stains.
6. Thoroughly clean the burner tubes, preferably with a pipe cleaner, to ensure they are not blocked by dirt or insects.
7. Check all gas hoses for damage, leakage, and correct connection. Replace any damaged hoses.
8. Store the grill in a dry and cool place. If using a cover, ensure both the grill and cover are dry before storing.
9. Apply a small amount of cooking oil to the chrome-plated parts to prevent rust.
10. Cover the burners with aluminum foil to prevent debris from accumulating in the burner ports.

It is recommended to clean the grill every 90 days and perform a complete cleaning at least once a year for optimal functionality and lifespan. Always follow the cleaning instructions in the manual for best results.

For cleaning products, hot water and washing-up liquid are typically sufficient for regular cleaning. However, if there are stubborn stains or grease buildup, you may use specialized grill cleaners or degreasers. Be sure to follow the instructions on the cleaning products and avoid using abrasive materials that could damage the grill surfaces.
