IMPORTANT: Due to high heat, do not cover the Flame Broiler or probes with aluminum foil.
ASH CLEAN-OUT FEATURE
At the bottom of the grill barrel is an ash clean-out feature,
giving you easy access to your burn pot to easily clean it as
often as needed. To empty, follow these steps:
1. To empty, release the buckle latch on the ash box hook.
2. While holding the handle, slide the ash box away from
the buckle, then pull down to remove.
3. Once emptied, replace the ash box into position by lifting
it back into the bottom of the grill barrel, then sliding the
ash box towards the buckle.
4. Fasten the ash box hook with the buckle latch to secure.
WARNING: This feature can only be operated when the
grill is cooled down.
4. OUTSIDE SURFACES
• Wipe your grill down after each use. Use warm soapy water to cut the grease. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive
cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside grill surfaces. All painted surfaces are not covered under
warranty, but rather are part of general maintenance and upkeep. For paint scratches, wearing, or flaking of
the finish, all painted surfaces can be touched up using high heat BBQ paint.
• Use a grill cover to protect your grill for complete protection! A cover is your best protection against weather and
outside pollutants. When not in use or for longterm storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed.
