Excessive flare-ups resulting from the build-up of grease in the bottom of the grill can over-cook the food and
cause a dangerous situation for you and your grill. If this should occur, DO NOT pour water onto the flames,
which can cause the grease to splatter and could result in serious burns or bodily harm. If grease fire occurs,
close the hood and turn off the main burners until the grease burns out. Use caution when opening the hood as
sudden flare-ups may occur.
To Minimize Flare-ups:
- Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
- Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low settings or indirectly.
- Ensure that your grill is on level ground and the grease is allowed to fall into the stainless steel drip tray
CAUTION: All cleaning and maintenance should be done only when grill is turned off and cool.
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray located below the grill should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy buildup of debris.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless it is covered. Rain water can collect
inside the grill, the grill stand or the drip tray if left uncovered. If the drip tray is not cleaned after use and the grill
is left uncovered, the drip tray will fill with water causing grease and water to spill into the grill stand. We
recommend cleaning and storing the drip tray after every use.
COOKING GRATES
The cooking grates can be cleaned after cooking is completed and the grill has been turned off and allowed to cool.
Wear an oven mitt and scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the grill is allowed to cool down and the
grease/debris becomes hard, cleaning the grates will be easier if removed from the grill and cleaned with a mild
detergent and a non-abrasive cloth.
HEAT CONTROL GRIDS
You must clean the heat control grids after or before each use of the grill to ensure no build-up of grease can occur,
which could cause a grease fire. Excessive smoke, is a good indication that there is too much grease built-up near
(or on) the element. The briquettes are made of ceramic and the tray it rests in are made of 304 stainless steel.
To thoroughly clean them when they become saturated with grease/debris, you can place them in your
dishwasher as well. Take notice of any broken briquettes to avoid clogging your dishwasher.
Heating Element
The heating element can rise to a 90-degree angle to help with pulling out the ceramic heat control grids and
stainless steel drip tray. If the element becomes dirty, you can take a non-abrasive cloth with some light detergent
and spot clean the element to help clean the grease off. Ensure that the grill is un-plugged from the outlet and the
element (and full grill) is fully dry before plugging back in.
