  • Lift the head out of the water and allow some excess water to drain, ensuring not too much drips onto the flame broiler.

  • Gently scrub each grate, then flip and repeat as needed. The steam cleans and loosens grease and dried bits of food.

  • After you've finished cleaning, close the lid and let the grill run for a few minutes, then turn it off.

After Use Care

  • Detach the cleaning head of the Barbecue Daddy.
  • Wash the head under running water, or place it in the top rack of your dishwasher.
  • After a few months of use, replace the cleaning head when it starts to break down. One head could last you an entire grilling season depending on how frequently or aggressively the brush is used.
