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.
