BEFORE STORING YOUR GRILL:
• Clean all surfaces.
• If storing the grill outdoors, close the wood pellet lid and cover the grill with a grill 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.
