GRILL MAINTENANCE
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE, BE SURE THE GRILL IS COMPLETELY COOLED. IT IS
ALWAYS A SAFE PRACTICE TO USE HEAT RESISTANT GLOVES WHEN HANDLING
SURFACES/OBJECTS THAT MAY STILL BE HOT.

LOCATION OF THESE PARTS
Painted Steel Surfaces
Although your grill is painted with very durable high temperature paint, always attempt to keep
dirt and dust off the outside of the grill before cooking. Dust or dirt could be cooked into the
metal, causing the paint to discolor. The surface can be cleaned with hot water and a mild
detergent mix. To prolong the life of the paint, a grill cover is recommended. Before covering,
make sure the grill has completely cooled ‐ covering while still warm can cause condensation
under the covering, leading to premature rusting.
Burn Pot and Igniter
The burn pot air holes should be regularly checked for any blockages or buildup. The burn pot
can be cleaned using a scraper, putty knife, or a wire brush to clean any buildup or blockages.
The igniter should also be checked for buildup. Continued burning with buildup on the igniter
or in the burn pot could cause abnormal smoking, delayed firing of the grill, and possible
injury (and could shorten the life of the igniter).
Drip pan
Lining the drip pan (located on the right, "indirect" side) with aluminum foil will greatly reduce
the amount of cleaning of the drip pan. However, if cleaning is necessary, it can be done with
hot, soapy water or a cleaning degreaser. This should be inspected at least twice a year to
determine when grease and/or creosote buildup has occurred.
Grease Bucket
Excess grease from cooking will travel down the drip pan and drain tube, and collect in a bucket
on the bottom right side of the grill. This should be checked and dumped regularly to avoid
spillage onto your deck (or other surface) that could cause stains, attract insects or cause
unwanted smells, etc. Also check the drain tube for buildup and clean if necessary.
Combustion Chamber
Due to the fact that the combustion fan forces air into the burn pot, the area around the fan
stays relatively clean and does not require much maintenance. It is good practice to
occasionally vacuum or brush this area out, to clean any ash or burn pot debris that may have
fallen through.
