1.
Just like other barbecues, the actual temperature of this grill or the cooking times
will be affected by external temperature, humidity, wind conditions, quality of pellets
and so on.
2.
It is better to shelter your grill from the wind, this will aid in temperature output,
heat retention and heat recovery time when opening the lid.
3.
Do not open the lid frequently, it will increase your cooking time. But you can open
the lid when you want the grill to cool down quickly.
4.
Please preheat the grill for 10 minutes before placing food. This make your grill to
heat up and quickly return to your desired temperature once your food is placed.
Otherwise it will take a longer period of time to bring both the grill and the food to
your desired cooking temperature.
5.
Never move your grill while running.
6.
Never put water into the Pellet Hopper or Firepot.
7.
Never add pellets to Firepot directly. It is dangerous. If you run out of pellets and
lose your fire while cooking, let the grill cool down and start again with the INITIAL
FIRING INSTRUCTIONS.
8.
We recommend you cover your Grease Drain Pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil
and change it frequently. This is the simplest way to maintain your Grease Drain Pan.
Failure to clean the Grease Drain Pan, V-shaped Grease Drain and Grease Drain Tube
may caused grease fires. If this situation happens, turn the Switch OFF(O) to reduce
the amount of oxygen in the Chamber and keep the lid open until the fire is
completely out. AT THE SAME TIME, BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN YOURSELF. When the
grill is completely cool, clean any grease accumulation from the V-shaped Grease
Drain and the Grease Drain Pan. Replace the foil on the Grease Drain Pan. Then
restart the grill and resume cooking.
OPERATING TIPS
Your Z Grills also needs your maintenance.
Make sure your grill is OFF and cold completely before performing any
maintenance and cleaning.
Grease:
With long-term use, it caused the accumulation of grease on the Flue Lining, the
Grease Drain Tube, the V-shaped Grease Drain and the Grease Drain Pan. Always be
sure these grease catch area is clean and free of debris. You should check and clean
these area periodically to reduce the risk of fire.
Our design of the Grease Basket allows you to easily replace disposable paper cups
without cleaning
.
It is easier to clean of accumulated grease when the grill is still warm -- not hot.
Be
Careful Not To Burn Yourself.
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. So 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 push down through the Grease Drain Tube and
fall into the Grease Basket. Wipe up remaining grease residue with paper towels or
disposable rags.
Flue Pipe(Smoke Stack)
Remove the Chimney Cap Assembly, clean it with warm soap water. Scrape the
creosote and grease accumulation from inside of the vertical and horizontal sections
of the Flue Pipe 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
Use a warm soap water to wipe the grease. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive
cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside grill surfaces.
