INSIDE SURFACES
• It is recommended to clean your burn pot after every few uses. This will ensure proper ignition and avoid any hard
build-up of debris or ash in the burn pot.
• Use a long-handled grill cleaning brush, remove any food or build-up from the cooking grids. Best practice is to do
this while they are still warm from a previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris on the cooking
components of the grill. Clean the inside of your grill on a consistent basis. In the event you experience a grease fire,
keep the grill lid closed to choke out the fire. If the fire does not go out quickly, carefully remove the food, turn the
grill off, and shut the lid until the fire is completely out. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.
• Check your grease tray often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind the type of cooking you do.
IMPORTANT: Due to high heat, do not cover the flame broiler or probes with aluminum foil.

OUTSIDE SURFACES
• Wipe your grill down after each use. Use warm soapy water to cut the grease. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive
cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside grill surfaces.
All painted surfaces are not covered under
warranty
, but rather are part of general maintenance and upkeep. For paint scratches, wearing, or flaking of the
finish, all painted surfaces can be touched up using high heat BBQ paint.
• Use a grill cover to protect your grill for complete protection! A cover is your best protection against weather and
outside pollutants. When not in use or for longterm storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed.
