I use bar keepers friend. It is usually next to powdered Comet in the cleaning section. A little of it on a scrubby sponge and its good as new.

Hi Rose, Clean up these stainless grills with a Brillo pad (e.g., steel wool with detergent) to get it to shine. Yes, it takes elbow grease but not a lot. I don't think the dishwasher would get it clean on both sides or it might make your dishwasher very dirty! Good luck!

My husband used a regular wire grill brush to clean them. To prevent sticking he put veggie oil in a cup , put a paper towel in it and rubbed the grill using tongs so as to not burn fingers

If you follow the instructions in the manual, and use thermal cleaning to bake off the residue on the grill, it's easy after that to clean with a wire grill brush. Make sure all the holes in the grate are clear of residue. Every second or third cookout, I will remove the grate and clean out the grill bowl with a damp cloth or soap/water mix. Some burnt residue from cooking will fall through the holes onto the grill bowl. It's easy to clean, damp rag or soap/water mix with rag.

the heating element is underneath the top grill. Cleanup is pretty easy. Use sponges only due to the nonstick surface. Also remember to clean the drip Tray on the side. I forgot to clean it one time but I was reminded a week later by a horrible smell.

I take it out and clean it with a dry cloth. This maintains conductivity. Do this everyother time u grill.

Hello Alicia....I have used this cleaner on my grill before and it did clean it up..I would first get any food off your grill first....And use a good sturdy brush.Not a sponge....Depending on how dirty your grill could be,you may have to clean it twice....I swear by this product and I use it alot..Good luck...Martha

Interesting question-------one I would have never thought of. It has a shiny finish that with time and use has become not so shiny anymore. It is a black porcelain look. True, when cleaned, it doesn't come completely clean, but, most of the stuck on food comes off. I do wish I had started spaying the grate--from the very first--with a non stick spray. The grate size is good for soaking in the sink before cleaning.Oh! I absolutely love this grill! It gets much hotter than any I have ever had and cooks quickly and more evenly than any I have had before. It is ideal for searing a steak and leaving the center rare--very rare, the way I like it.

Hi, I bought the ones that are for the grill and it cleaned them great! Of course you may have to scrub a little bit, but it works great.

It was a gift so in not sure how hard it is to clean. We are just entering grill season here in New England. Personally, I would recommend a brush similar to what you use on the grill after it cools and then a rinse off in addition to always spraying it with Pam spray.

Unfortunately I'm not sure I can help. I have not had this problem. I "seasoned" the cast iron grate as the directions instructed prior to my first use. I clean the grate with a brass wire brush, after use, then oil the grate after it cools. I do not wash the grate nor have I let it get wet, it is stored between uses in the grill, and always with fresh oil applied. Hope this helps.

I heat up the grill on high for 15 to 30 minutes before I cook, then brush the grill and I have no problem with cleaning. I started this the very first time I cooked. I do not brush off after cooking only before when the grill is at max temperature.

There are a couple of things you can do. First remove the grate and wash it (either dishwasher or by hand). You should now be able to wipe out the lower part of the grill with hot soapy water. Before replacing the grill, turn on the burner to burn off any materials that landed on the burner. Over time, you'll end up with materials in the grill that are pretty difficult to remove, but they kind of turn to char over time...adding to the flavors!

Easy. I spray grate with no-stick spray before grilling. After using grill I put the grate in the sink and soak for a few minutes in hot, soapy water. So far it has cleaned up real well and real easy.

I use a dry wadded up paper towel while the grill is still so hot (so the grease, etc., doesn't harden) and wipe downward following the ridges wiping off all of the grease. I then take a damp wadded up paper towel and repeat until the grill is clean. I then shut the grill off. Obviously keep your finders clear of the hot surfaces.

The grill does disconnect from the base. I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher because of the heating element connection should not get wet. It is extremely easy to clean. I first wipe the grill off with a paper towel while still warm and then put it into warm soapy water and wipe clean or use a small brush on the grill making sure not to get the electrical connection wet. I have enjoyed the grill.

I have not put mine in the dishwasher. I use "Barkeepers Friend" powdered non-abrasive cleanser and a non-scratch scouring pad to get all of the grilling mess off of the pan. I doubt that it would get very clean in the dishwasher. Just my opinion, though - I guess you could try the dishwasher and see what happens?
