Shutting Off Your Smoker; General - Louisiana Grills CS 450 Owner's Manual

Your Country Smoker will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. An important step is allowing
the grill and cooking grids to "Self Clean" by running the grill on HIGH or PREHEAT temperatures for 5 to 10 minutes after
each use.
When finished cooking on your Louisiana Grill turn the TEMPERATURE CONTROL to PREHEAT. Let your grill run for 5
to 15 minutes, depending on what you just cooked, to go through its normal cleaning method. If you are preparing meats
that are extra greasy, such as anything in BACON, it is a good practice to allow the grill to burn off for an extra 10 to 20
minutes. You could experience a grease fire, but DO NOT PANIC, DO NOT UNPLUG the appliance, just leave the lid
closed and let the grill burn itself out naturally. Much like a self-cleaning oven. This will greatly reduce the chances of
"Flare-Up" while you are preparing your next savory meal.
When cleaning is complete, simply push the POWER switch to the OFF position. Your Louisiana Grill Control will begin its
automatic SHUT DOWN procedure.
- The FEED system will stop feeding fuel.
- The flame will burn itself out naturally.
- The combustion / cooling fan will continue to run for 15 minutes.
- When the procedure is complete the FAN and POWER LED will turn OFF.
If you did forget to grill desert, you can turn the POWER switch to the "ON" position within the first 3 minutes and the grill
will continue to operate as normal. If you miss the 3 minute window, you must go through the START UP mode again.
There are two extremes when it comes to keeping the grill clean. Those that must spit and shine the entire grill, in and out,
after every use, and those whom are convinced that cleaning only takes away from that barbecue flavor.
One simple rule: EVERYTHING IN MODERATION !
TIP
Be diligent in your cleaning and maintenance program Taking care of your grill will
add years of life to it and keeps it looking great!

ALWAYS clean dirt and dust off all stainless steel surfaces before you begin to cook. The dirt can cook into the metal and
discolor it. These can be easily cleaned with hot soapy water and a soft cloth. A quick swipe of "Stainless Steel Cleaner"
and a soft rag will also work, but you must be careful not apply it to the painted surfaces or interior parts. With the popular-
ity of stainless steel appliances increasing, there are now many commercial products made to clean and protect stainless
steel surfaces.

Powder coat and maintaining powder coat surfaces are not covered under warranty. This is part of general
maintenance and upkeep.
Be sure to cure your brand new Country Smoker for at least 30 to 40 minutes before using it for the first time. This allows
the powder to cure properly and allows for that "NEW SMOKE SMELL" and manufacturing residue to be burned off.
Once installed, maintaining the initial appearance of a powder coating is a simple matter. The smoke and grime which
builds up on surfaces from time to time contains moisture and salts which will adversely affect the powder coating and must
be removed. Powder coatings should be washed down regularly. The coating should be washed down with soapy water --
use a neutral detergent -- and rinsed off with clean water.
When powder coated items are installed without damage to the powder coating and they are maintained regularly, they
should be relatively permanent. The correctly applied coating, although not metallurgically bonded to the metal will not
crack, chip or peel as with conventional paint films.
