WINTERIZING YOUR GRILL
If you won’t be using your MAK for an extended period of time during the
wet months, we strongly advise that you empty the pellet hopper and
auger tube and firepot of all pellets. This will prevent the pellets from
absorbing ambient moisture in the air and jamming your auger.
Use the pellet hopper dump door to empty the hopper. To empty the
auger tube, go into the Maintenance Screen on the Pellet Boss® and turn
off the fan and igniter and run the auger until all of the pellets have been
run out of the auger tube.
(See instructions on how to do this in the
Trouble Shooting section of this manual.)
NOTE: When you are ready to use the grill again, you will need to
follow the start-up procedure found in the front of this manual.

TIPS
4
Always wait until the grill is
completely cold
before attempting to
remove any of the internal components of the grill. This includes the
cooking grates, FlameZone™ pan, heat diffuser lid, grease tray,
firepot, ash clean out cover or triangular grease shield. Otherwise you
may suffer serious burns.
4
Keep the heat/smoke ports in the grease pan tray clean and clear of
food or other obstructions.
4
On a regular basis, use a putty knife to scrape the channels on the
front and back side of the grease tray to ensure grease flow and
drainage.
4
Hot, soapy water can be used for general cleaning. For heavy-duty
cleaning, it is advisable that you use a degreaser and stiff brush to
remove food particles, grease and smoke from the FlameZone™
covers, pan and grease tray.
4
After washing and rinsing let the components dry before placing them
back into the grill.
