WARNING: Failure to clean and maintain this unit as indicated may result in poor
performance and hazardous situations. The maintenance schedule must be adjusted
based on use to insure proper operation and maximum efficiency of your pellet grill.
When you are performing any maintenance on your grill, make sure the unit has been
turned off. Allow full shutdown sequence, and then unplugged from the power source.
WARNING: ALLOW THE GRILL TO COOL TO AMBIENT TEMPERATURE BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING
CLEAN DRIP PAN
1. Remove the main grilling surface (DO NOT REMOVE THE SEARING STATION).
2. Scrape drippings down grease drain and into grease bucket provided.
3. Clean drip pan with food safe degreasing agent.
4. Insure all cleaning solvents and chemicals are rinsed thoroughly after cleaning.
5. Empty grease bucket if necessary.
6. Reinstall grilling surface.
INSPECT AND CLEAN BURN POT
1. Remove the main grilling surface, drip pan, and flame plate. (DO NOT remove the searing station.)
2. Inspect the burn pot to check that the combustion air holes have not become plugged. If necessary, clean
thoroughly.
3. Replace the flame plate, drip pan, and grilling surface.
INSPECT HOPPER FOR FINES
Periodically check the hopper for pellet dust (fines) buildup. The accumulation of fines can reduce
the efficiency of your grill, increase the chance of hopper fires, and result in other unsafe operating
conditions. If dust (fines) accumulate sufficiently, vacuum out and reload hopper with new pellets.
