CARE AND MAINTENANCE

•  Clean inside and outside of grill by wiping off with a damp cloth. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil or 

vegetable oil spray to the interior surface to prevent rusting.

•  Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned, then 

lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to minimize further rusting.

•  Depending on use, periodically remove the cooking grates, grease tray and heat distribution plate to clean 

the ash from in and around the fire pot. Make sure the grill is cold before starting this procedure.

•  Keep the appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and 

liquids.

•  For safe grilling and peak performance of your grill, perform these checks at least twice per year or after 

extended periods of storage.

•  Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.

 CAUTION: Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary.

TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Warning 

•  Never move a grill when it is hot or when objects are on the cooking surfaces.
•  Never store flammable liquids or spray canisters under or near the grill.
•  DO NOT extinguish grease fires using water.

BEFORE STORING YOUR GRILL:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

•  Clean all surfaces.
•  If storing the grill outdoors, close the wood pellet lid and cover the grill with a cover for protection from the 

weather.

•  If the grill is stored outside during the rainy season, care should be taken to ensure that water does not get 

into the pellet hopper. Wood pellets, when wet, expand greatly and will jam your auger.

•  Never move a grill when it is hot or when objects are on the cooking surfaces.  
•  Never store flammable liquids or spray canisters under or near the grill.
•  Unplug the grill before storage.
•  For long term storage remove all pellets from inside the grill, including emptying the auger.

 DO NOT extinguish grease fires using water.
