MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Before storing your Coleman® COOKOUT™ Kettle, give it a thorough cleaning. Follow the care
and maintenance instructions outlined below.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION
o DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR STEEL WOOL on cooking or charcoal grate or
any painted, porcelain or stainless steel parts.
o Porcelain enamel components must be handled with additional care. The baked-on enamel finish is
glass-like, and will chip if struck.
FIRE BOWL AND LID
• Use a plastic paint scraper to remove build-up, food residue and ash from inside the COOKOUT ™ fire bowl
and lid.
• If necessary, wash the interior and exterior of the COOKOUT™ lid and fire bowl with a warm detergent and
water solution. Always rinse and dry thoroughly before re-installing parts.
• Spray a light coating of vegetable cooking spray on the interior surfaces of your COOKOUT™ for added
protection, only when cool.
ASH CATCHER
• Always wait for ash and grease to cool before removing the ash catcher and dumping in a non-combustible
container.
• Wash the ash catcher with soap and water, rinse and dry thoroughly before replacing.
COOKING GRATE
• Always perform a burn-off and clean-up with your brass grill brush, at the START of your cooking session,
during preheat. Leftover oil on your cooking grate will help to protect it in between cooking sessions.
• If necessary, wash cooking grate with soap and water. Do not immerse grate in water.
• Rinse and dry thoroughly with a towel.
STORAGE
• Once all surfaces are clean and dry, cover your kettle with a full length cover to protect surfaces from dirt
and moisture. If storing for long periods, it is recommended to remove the cooking grate and charcoal
grates and store in a dry place.
• If storing your kettle in a garage or on a concrete floor, it is recommended to place a large piece of cardboard
underneath the Kettle to protect from moisture.
• Always store charcoal in a cool, dry place.
