CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
The Kamado Grill is made of quality materials, so there is not much general cleaning &
maintenance. The best way to protect your Kamado Grill is to store a grill cover. (See Figure 19)

CLEANING ASHES FROM YOUR GRILL
Usually there is a need to remove the ashes underneath the firebox after cooking. An Ash
Cleaning Tool is included in the Kamado Grill. Please follow the steps for removing ashes from a
grill in a cart or a grill table.
STEPS
1.
If there is any partially used charcoal in the firebox, stir the charcoal so any ash in the firebox
will drop down.
2.
Open the bottom vent door fully, and place a small container under the opening to catch the
ash. It is recommended to have a little water in the ash container before you remove ashes
into the container. Wind might blow away ashes.
3.
Insert the Ash Cleaning Tool through the bottom vent door and pull out ashes into the ash
container.
GRILL BANDS
Check position and tightness of both upper and lower bands, and also the hinge at the
beginning of every grilling season or annually.
If the bands & hinge are in proper position, use a
10mm wrench and Allen wrench (included in the grill package) to check the tightness of each
band connectors, side shelves brackets connectors, and hinge connectors. If loose, please tighten
all connectors fully. If a band is not centered, loosen the band enough to push it back in position.
Then tighten the band connector with a 10mm wrench and Allen wrench.
CAUTION!
Wait until the ashes and the ceramics are completely cool. Then removing ashes from
your grill and properly disposing of.
