5. Cleaning the Grill
Clean the Grill after each use, as accumulation of grease, ash and soot can increase
the risk of a grease fire and result in inefficient operation.
Grease Tray, Drain & Bucket
•
Remove foil from the Grease Tray and wipe off any surface grease.
•
Clean out the the V-shaped drain and spout to the Grease Bucket. This is easiest
to do while the grill is still warm (but not hot). Be careful!
•
Dispose of any grease in the Grease Bucket and wash clean with warm soapy
water.
Grilling Racks
•
Use a wood scraper or other gentle material to scrape off any large chunks.
•
Do NOT use a stainless steel wire brush as it can damage the ceramic coating.
•
Using a wet cloth while the grill racks are still hot can remove the majority of the
grease (use tongs or wear gloves).
•
Do NOT use acidic or strong chemical cleaners as they may damage the grill rack
ceramic coating.
Fire Pot and Chimney
•
Ash in the Fire-pot and the base of the Grill Drum can be vacuumed out. Only
vacuum when the grill is cold, switched OFF and unplugged from power supply.
•
Once every 4-5 uses, remove the Chimney Cap and clean with warm soapy water.
Scrape any soot from the chimney with a non-metallic object and wipe clean with
BBQ wipes.
Grill Surfaces
•
Wipe down the inside and outside of the Grill with BBQ cleaning wipes, or warm
soapy water and moist (not too wet) cloth.
•
Cover the grill with the protective cover when not in use, especially if stored
outdoors. The Grill must not be exposed to rain.
•
Gently clean the Temperature Sensor in the grill periodically to ensure accurate
temperature readings.
Food Temperature Probes
•
Food probes must be scrubbed thoroughly after each use with hot soapy water to
avoid food contamination. Avoid immersing the entire cable in water.
Wood Pellets
•
Wood pellets can absorb moisture if sitting for an extended period of time in the
hopper. They may not burn properly and if very moist can even cause the auger to
become blocked. Always store wood pellets in an air tight bag or container.
•
Scoop out wood pellets in the hopper and run the Grill until all pellets are depleted
if not planning to use the grill for several weeks.
