MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

Your Z GRILL requires regular maintenance.

Make sure your grill is OFF, unplugged and completely cold before performing any

maintenance and cleaning.

Grease

1.With regular use your grill will accumulate grease on the Flue Lining, the Grease Drain

Tube, the V-shaped Grease Drain and the Grease Drain Pan. Always be sure these areas

are clean and free of grease and debris. You should check and clean these areas regularly

to reduce the risk of fire.

2.It is easier to remove accumulated grease when the grill is still warm (not hot).

BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN YOURSELF.

Heat-resistant gloves are recommended.

If too much grease is allowed to build up in the V-shaped Grease Drain or is allowed to plug

the Grease Drain Tube, a grease fire could result. It is necessary to clean these area

regularly. You can scarp the grease accumulation from inside the V-shaped Grease Drain

and Grease Drain Tube by using a stiff, nonmetallic tool. Much of the loosened grease can

be pushed down through the Grease Drain Tube and fall into the Grease Bucket. Wipe up

remaining grease residue with paper towels or disposable rags.

Flue Pipe(Smoke Stack)

Remove the Chimney Cap Assembly, clean it with warm soapy water. Scrape the creosote

and grease accumulation from inside of the vertical and horizontal sections of the Flue Pipe

by using a stiff, nonmetallic tool such as a wooden paint stir stick. Once the creosote and

grease residue has been loosened from the Flue Pipe Lining, much of it can be cleaned with

paper towels or disposable rags. Do not spray water or other liquid cleaners onto the inside

of the grill.

Outside surfaces

1.Use warm soapy water to wipe away grease. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers

or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside grill surfaces.

2.It is highly recommended that you use Z GRILLS Cover to protect your grill .

3.You can use a high-quality car wax on the outside surfaces of your grill to protect it’s finish.

Internal component

1.To clean the Porcelain-coated Grill Grates we recommend using a long-handled cleaning

brush designed for Porcelain-coated Grates.

2.It is recommended that you clean your Grill Grates after each use.

3.Clean the inner RTD temperature probe after each use.
