Care & Maintenance - Pit Boss PRO PB16DDPS2 Assembly And Operation Manual

WARNING: Always disconnect the electrical cord prior to opening the grill for any inspection, cleaning,
maintenance or service work. Ensure the grill is completely cooled to avoid injury.
Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and maintenance
tips to service your grill:
1. ASH CLEAN-OUT
• At the bottom of the grill barrel is an ash cleanout feature, giving you easy access
to the inside of your fire box to easily clean it as often as needed. To empty, release
the buckle latch on the ash box hook. While holding the handle, slide the ash box
away from the buckle, then pull down to remove. Once emptied, replace the ash box
by lifting it back into the bottom of the grill barrel, sliding the ash box towards the
buckle, then fastening the ash box hook with the buckle latch.
WARNING: This feature can only be operated when the grill is cooled down.
2. HOPPER ASSEMBLY
• Running all pellets out of your auger system is recommended if your grill will be unused for an extended period
of time. This can be done by simply running your grill, on an empty hopper, until all pellets have emptied from the
auger tube.
• CCheck and clean off any debris from the fan air intake vent, found on the bottom of the hopper. Once the hopper
access panel is removed (see Electric Wire Diagram for diagram), carefully wipe off any grease build-up directly on
the fan blades. This ensures airflow is sufficient to the feed system.
PELLET CLEAN-OUT FEATURE
The hopper includes a pellet clean-out feature to allow for
easy cleaning and the ability to change out wood pellet fuel
flavors. To empty, follow these steps:
1. Place a clean, empty pail under the clean-out door .
2. Locate the pellet clean-out door and door handle on the
back side of the hopper. Lift the door handle to unlock.
pull the door handle to open the drop-chute access plate,
allowing the pellets from the hopper to empty.
NOTE: Use a long handled brush or shop-vac to remove
excess pellets, sawdust, and debris for a complete clean-
out through the hopper screen.
3. Once empty, lift the door handle again to unlock. Push
the drop-chute access plate back into place.
4. Push the door handle down to lock closed.
3. PROBES
• Kinks or folds in the probe wires may cause damage. A meat probe not in use should be rolled up in a large, loose coil.
• Although both the grill probe and the meat probes are stainless steel, do not place in the dishwasher or submerge
in water. Water damage to the internal wires will cause a probe to short-out, causing false readings. If a probe is
damaged, it should be replaced.
