Line your Grease Bucket with aluminum foil for easy clean-up. Empty it occasionally,
depending on amount of use. Change the aluminum foil on the Grease Drain Pan frequently
(sometimes, after each use, depending upon what was cooked). Clean foil on the Grease
Drain Pan will make your food taste better and reduce the risk of a grease fire.
2. Cleaning outside surfaces:
DANGER!
Turn the Switch OFF(o) and disconnect the Power Cord. Use a disposable rag or
cloth, dampened with warm soapy water to wipe the grease from the outside of the Grill.
DO NOT use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside
Grill surfaces.
3. Outside Storage:
CAUTION!
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.
4.Cleaning the Porcelain Grill
CAUTION!
The cleaning of the Porcelain Grill works best while they are still warm.
Be careful not to burn yourself.
We recommend keeping a long-handled cleaning brush
near the Grill. After removing your food, give the Porcelain Grill a quick brushing. It takes only
a minute and it will be ready the next time you want to use the Grill.
5. Cleaning the ash from inside and around the Firepot:
DANGER!
Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord.
WARNING!
Make sure that the Grill is
COLD
before cleaning the ash.
WARNING!
Disposal of ashes should be done only per the following instructions.
Excess ash in the Firepot may cause your fire to go out, especially in the "SMOKE setting.
The Firepot should be inspected occasionally, and cleaned to remove the ash buildup. Again,
cleaning the ash from in and around the Firepot should be done only when the Grill is
COLD
.
Remove the Porcelain Grill, Grease Drain Pan and Heat Baffle to provide access to the
Firepot and the interior of the Grill. Much of the ash outside of the Firepot can be swept to the
open area at the right of the Firepot using a small whisk broom. It can be removed from the
Grill with a small metal fireplace shovel or other similar tool. Dispose of the ashes per the
following instructions.
WARNING! A vacuum cleaner is the best way to remove ashes from the Firepot but this must
be done with extreme care to avoid the risk of fire. Again, cleaning the ash from the Firepot
should be done only when the Grill is COLD.
A utility-type vacuum cleaner, having a metal collection canister without a bag would be best
for this task. However, almost any vacuum cleaner will work safely if this procedure is
properly followed.
After assuring that the ash in the Firepot is
COLD
, vacuum the ash from the inside
of the Firepot.
A) If your vacuum cleaner is a bagless model, empty any previously accumulated debris from
the collection chamber. Then vacuum the ash from the inside of the Firepot. Once the Firepot
is clean, empty the collection chamber into the metal container described below without delay.
Make sure that there is no remaining ash residue left in the collection chamber.
B) If your vacuum cleaner is a model that uses a disposable bag, install an unused
one in the machine. Then vacuum the ash from the inside of the Firepot. Once the
Firepot is clean, remove the bag from the vacuum cleaner and place it in the metal
container described below without delay.
