How do you clean your Viking rangetop grill? We have a Viking rangetop
grill but have only used it a few times because cleaning it takes
something like 2 hours, gets you close to the gas feed line, and, with
all the sharp edges, just seems dangerous.

Do other customers actually clean their grills thoroughly, inside and
out, after each use or do they just empty the drip tray? If you were
to only empty the drip tray, will the unit start to smell & attract
bugs?

Also, to do a thorough cleaning, can you take it apart and put the
components into a self-cleaning oven or will they deform?

We'd love to use the grill but, with the current issues, it's just not
worth the effort. Can anyone help here?

Thanks!
