BEFORE USING THE GRILL
CATCH PAN AND DISPOSABLE DRIP PAN

the catch pan and disposable drip pan for grease build-up
each time you use your grill.
Remove excess grease with a plastic spatula; see
illustration. When necessary, wash the catch pan and drip
pan with a soap and water solution, then rinse with clean
water. Replace the disposable drip pan as needed.
