Cleaning and Maintenance

Drip Pan

The full width drip pan will collect grease from the main grill area. The pan should be cleaned after every use to
avoid the possibility of a grease fire. Be sure to allow the drip pan to cool prior to cleaning. You may clean the
drip pan with a solution of warm soapy water. Make sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid staining.

made from non-magnetic, 304 grade stainless steel. After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the

scrub in the direction of the grain. Soapy water should be sufficient for most cleaning.
Note: DO NOT use oven cleaners or abrasive cleaners on enameled surfaces. They may damage the finish,
causing accelerated wear.

and pour out the ashes. You can save the larger pieces of charcoal next time you cook. Use a garden hose to
wash out accumulated grease and ashes. Allow the drip pan to dry before reinserting into the grill.
