INSPECT HOPPER FOR FINES
Note: Allow the unit to cool to ambient temperature
before inspecting or cleaning the grill.
Periodically check the hopper for pellet dust (fines) build-
up. The accumulation of fines can reduce the efficiency of
the grill, increase the chance of hopper fires, and other
unsafe operating conditions. If dust (fines) accumulate
sufficiently, vacuum out and reload the hopper with new
pellets.
ASH REMOVAL
Note: Allow the unit to cool to ambient temperature
before inspecting or cleaning the grill.
1.
Use an ash vacuum to remove ashes from the burn
pot and the bottom of the grill's body.
BE SURE ALL ASH EMBERS ARE EXTINGUISHED
AND ALL ASHES ARE COOL TO THE TOUCH
BEFORE VACUUMING.
2. Dispose of ashes into a metal container.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a steel metal container with
a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground
well away from all combustible materials, pending final
disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or
otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the
closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly
cooled. Do not place other waste in the same container.
INSPECT AND CLEAN COMBUSTION AIR
BLOWER
Note: Let the unit cool to ambient temperature before
inspecting or cleaning the grill.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DISCONNECT POWER
BEFORE SERVICING UNIT.
Over time, ash or dust may accumulate on the blades
of the fans. Inspect the fans and if any accumulation is
present vacuum clean. The accumulated ash or dust can
impede the fan's performance.
