Care & Maintenance; Operating Instructions - Sanxin OCR-2250A Manual

Care & Maintenance

Wash cooking grids and charcoal grates with hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry completely with a towel to
prevent rusting.

After washing and drying, lightly coat grids with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.

Clean the inside and outside of the grill by wiping it with a damp cloth. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil or
vegetable oil spray to the interior surfaces to prevent rusting, but not on the charcoal grate.

If rust appears on the outside of your grill, clean and buff the affected area with steel wool or a fine grit
emery cloth. Touch up spots with a good quality high-temperature rust resistant paint.

NEVER APPLY PAINT TO THE INTERIOR SURFACE. Doing so could cause a fire resulting in serious bodily harm
or property damage.

If rust appears on the interior surface of you grill, clean and buff the affected area with steel wool or a fine
grit emery cloth. Coat the interior lightly with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.

Operating Instructions

Only use high grade charcoal briquettes, lump charcoal, cooking wood or charcoal/wood mixtures.
Wood chips and wood chunks may be used for a more robust flavor. Wood chips are available in a variety of flavors.
First Use

Please make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the charcoal grill.

Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this charcoal grill for the first time. Do this by operating the
charcoal grill for at least 15 minutes with the lid closed, prior to adding food. This will "heat clean" the
internal parts and dissipate odors.
Lighting Instructions

Stack charcoal briquettes or wood into a pyramid-shaped pile on top of the charcoal grate. We recommend
using 2 pounds (approximately 30 briquettes) to start your fire, adding more as needed.

If using starter fluid, saturate the charcoal briquettes with starter fluid and let it soak in for approximately 5
minutes. If using a chimney starter, electric starter, or other type of fire starter, light your fire according to
the manufacturer's instructions.

After allowing the starter fluid to properly soak in, light the pile of briquettes in several locations to ensure
an even burn. Leave lid open until briquettes are fully lit. Failure to do so could trap fumes from charcoal
starter fluid in grill and may result in a flash fire when lid is opened.
