may damage the outer casing of the element.

Grease Jars
On the underside of the grill cooktop component, a

The lid of the jar is permanently mounted to the
bottom of the cooktop component box. The lid is
connected by a tube to a spout at the front of the
grease well. The jar can be unscrewed from the lid to
be emptied and cleaned or to be replaced. The jar is a
standard 1-pint jar. Quart canning jars may also fit.
Do not use
thin-walled glass or plastic jars, such
as those having contained food products. Such jars
could fracture.
Different foods give different amounts of fat and
drippings, so you should inspect the jar each time it is
used. If the jar is not emptied or replaced often enough,
the fat and drippings may overflow. Be sure the drain
hole and tube in the grease well are not clogged.
