Care & Maintenance - Pit Boss PB1600PSE Manual

Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with
minimum cleaning. Follow these tips to service your grill:
Grill Interior
• At the bottom of the grill barrel is an ash clean-out feature, giving
you easy access to your burn pot. Cleaning it out will ensure proper
ignition and avoid any hard build-up of debris or ash. 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 into position by lifting
it back into the bottom of the grill barrel, then sliding the ash box
towards the buckle. Fasten the ash box hook with the buckle latch
to secure. (A)
WARNING: This feature can only be operated when the grill
is cooled down.
• Use a grill cleaning brush to 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. Use the flame broiler slide plate to scrape
off the main plate, and vise-versa (B). Remove the debris from
inside your barrel with a wet/dry vacuum. For an extra deep clean,
use Pit Boss® Cleaner & Degreaser for the grill interior and exterior.
IMPORTANT: Due to high heat, do not cover the flame broiler
components with aluminum foil.
Grill Exterior
• Check your grease bucket often, and clean out as necessary. Keep
in mind the type of cooking you do. (C)
• Wipe your grill down after each use (D). 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 are rather part of
general maintenance and upkeep. For paint scratches, wearing, or
flaking of the finish, all painted surfaces can be touched up using
a high heat BBQ paint.
• A grill 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.
Probes
• Wipe your meat probe after each use. A meat probe not in use
should be rolled up in a large, loose coil. Kinks or folds in the probe
wires may cause damage. Do not place in the dishwasher or sub-
merge in water. Water damage to the internal wires will cause a
meat probe to short-out, causing false readings. (E)
• Check and clean off any grease or debris from the grill probe
(sensor) and shield, found inside the main grill body, on the left-
side wall. (F)
• If a probe is damaged, it should be replaced.
