StainlessSteelSurfaces
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. Dirt can be easily cleaned with hot, soapy
water and a so cloth. There are also many commercial
products made to clean and protect your stainless steel
surfaces. If the stainless steel becomes severely discol‐
ored, this discoloraon can be removed with stainless
steel cleaner or mild oven cleaner and an abrasive (non‐
metallic) scrub pad.

Flavorizer
It is recommended that you remove any build up of food
or grease from the flavorizer before every cook. A clean
flavorizer further reduces flare ups. Brush or scrape any
build up off of the flavorizer with a grill brush or puy
knife. Never clean the flavorizer while it is hot.

GreaseTrays
Always be sure the grease trays are clean and free of de‐
bris. During the warmer months empty any grease build‐
up on a more frequent basis to keep it from going rancid.
BurnPot
Frequently check the air holes found in the burn pot for
any blockages or build‐ups. Using the Memphis Genie tool
or a wire brush, scrape off any build up or blockage.

IgniterHoles
You will also want to frequently check the air holes in the
igniter tube, as is displayed in the figure to the right. Clean
any debris or blockage out of both areas to ensure a per‐
fect start. Thisisabsolutelycricaltotheignionand

RTD
Your grill’s ability to accurately sense temperature and
adjust its performance accordingly is what makes it
unique and valuable. The RTD, a temperature sensor lo‐
cated towards the rear of the cooking area should be
wiped down with water and mild detergent to ensure
proper performance.
GrillInterior
Though BBQ pellets burn efficiently, they do create some
amount of ash. The grill’s interior walls and floor don’t
need to be spotless, but periodically clearing out accumu‐
lated ash is a good pracce.

Airbox
Because the Airbox is used to channel the fan‐forced air
into the burn pot, there is very lile maintenance to be
done in this area. Occasionally, you may either vacuum or
brush out any build‐up of ash or burn debris that has fall‐
en below the burn pot. This is done by removing the burn
pot by removing four Phillips head screws. Remove any
accumulaon of grease or debris on the inside surfaces.
When reinstalling the burn pot, confirm the proper posi‐
oning. The burn pot should be level from side to side and
from front to back and should have a snug but not ght fit

GrillCover
We recommend that you cover your Memphis Grill when
not in use. Ensure that your grill is completely off and
cooled before covering.
