• 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.
Burner Components
• Clean the burners when heavy build-up is found (G). Ensure that
there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) on the burner tube
or in the burner portholes. After periods of storage, spiders or
small insects can build nests, webs, and lay eggs in the burner tube,
obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. A clogged tube can lead
to a fire beneath the appliance. If storing the unit for an extended
period of non-use, remove the burner and wrap with aluminum foil
to reduce the risk of insects entering the burner holes.
• The burner has been preset for optimal flame performance. Optimal
air and gas mixture should have the flame tip slightly yellow (I),
tops should be light blue (II) and darker blue (III) towards the
bottom (H). If flames are excessively yellow, orange or irregular,
clean the oil and food deposits on the burner surface and the
burner portholes to increase airflow.
Hopper Assembly
• The hopper includes a pellet clean-out feature to allow for easy
cleaning and the ability to change out wood pellet fuel flavors.

• 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 has been re-
moved, carefully wipe off any grease build-up directly on the fan
blades. Use warm soapy water to cut the soot and grease. This
ensures airflow is clean and sufficient to the feed system. (J)
