3. PROBES
• Kinks or folds in the probe wires may cause damage to the part. Wires should be rolled up in a large, loose coil.
• Although the probes are stainless steel, do not place in the dishwasher or submerge in water. Water damage to the
internal wires will cause the probe to short-out, causing false readings. If a probe is damaged, it should be replaced.
4. 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.
• Check and clean off any debris from the fan air intake vent, found on the bottom of the hopper. Once the 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 hardwood pellet
fuel flavors. To empty, follow these steps:
1. Locate the plate and the cover of the drop chute on the
back side of the hopper.
2. Place a clean, empty pail under the drop chute cover, then
remove the cover piece.
3. Unscrew the plate to unlock, slide the plate outwards to
open the drop-chute and allowing the pellets from the
hopper to empty.
NOTE: Use a long handled brush or Wet/dry vacuum
to remove excess pellets, sawdust, and debris for a
complete clean-out through the hopper screen.
4. Once empty, insert the plate back into place. Screw in to
lock. Push the drop-chute cover back into place.
5. INSIDE SURFACES
• It is recommended to clean your burn pot after every few uses. This will ensure proper ignition and avoid any hard
build-up of debris or ash in the burn pot.
• Use a long-handled grill cleaning brush, remove any food or build-up from the cooking grates. Best practice is to do
this while they are still warm from a previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris on the cooking
components of the grill. Clean the inside of your grill on a consistent basis. In the event you experience a grease fire,
keep the grill lid closed to choke out the fire. If the fire does not go out quickly, carefully remove the food, turn the
grill off, and shut the lid until the fire is completely out. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.
• Check your grease bucket often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind the type of cooking you do.
IMPORTANT: Due to high heat, do not cover the Flame Broiler™ or probes with aluminum foil.
6. 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.
