Your grill requires regular cleaning and maintenance. Refer to these instructions for details. Performing
these procedures will ensure proper operation, appearance, and safety.
WARNINGS
• Prior to servicing or cleaning make sure the unit is completely cool.
• Wear appropriate gloves and safety glasses during any servicing or cleaning.
• DO NOT spray any cleaner or liquids on the grill when hot.
• The grill MUST be cleaned regularly to prevent grease build-up and other food deposits. A clean and well
maintained grill prevents the risk of grease build-up and grease res.
• Verify proper operation after servicing or deep cleaning.
• See INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND SAFETY INFORMATION section for additional related information.
CLEANING YOUR GRILL
Before Each Use
1. Inspect and clean the exterior surfaces of the unit: With a cool grill, clean any dust, grease, splatter,
or spills as needed with a damp clean cloth.
After Each Use
1. Perform a burn-o and clean the cooking grids: Operate the grill hot with the hood closed for 15 minutes
to burn-o food and grease and allow for an easier cooking grid clean. Then extinguish the hot charcoal
and use a grill or scraper brush to clean the cooking grids of all residue. Use long-handled insulated BBQ
tools and wear an insulated glove / oven mitt.
2. Clean the charcoal pan: After each use, when the grill is cool, empty the charcoal pans of all ash and
drippings. Dispose of all ashes appropriately into a reproof container.
Clean the charcoal pan with a soapy water solution if needed. Rinse and dry completely. Replace the
charcoal pan back to the grill.
3. Cover your grill: Once the grill is dry and cool, cover your grill with a Fire Magic protective cover (not
included).
Optional Stainless Steel Grill Oven Hood
With a cool grill, use a grill cleaner (or a soapy water
solution) and a clean cloth to remove grease and dirt from
the inside and outside of the grill. For tough deposits,
a copper pad can be used. Always wipe with the grain.
See Fig. 15-1. Rinse and dry completely. For the exterior,
follow up with a stainless steel cleaner and a clean cloth.
If this routine cleaning is not performed, the stainless steel
may become dull and develop surface rust (due to use and
atmospheric conditions). If left uncleaned, signicant damage
and pitting may occur.
Important: DO NOT use steel wool, any other metal tools,
or any other cleaners/chemicals to clean the
exterior other than recommended above. Such
items promote rust.
Note: Due to the nature of stainless steel, temperatures produced by the grilling process will cause
discoloration. This can be reduced by routine cleaning.

For Environments High In Salt, Chloride, Or Other Corrosive Chemicals
When this grill is installed in a corrosive environment such as near the ocean (salt air), poolside (chlorine and/or
pool chemicals) or any other location with exposure to high salt/chloride content or corrosive chemicals/solutions,
it will be more susceptible to corrosion and MUST be maintained/cleaned more frequently.
• DO NOT store any corrosive chemicals (chlorine, hydrochloric acid, fertilizer, etc.) near your stainless steel grill.
• DO NOT allow any corrosive materials (masonry dust, debris, etc.) to settle on your stainless steel grill.
• These environments, chemicals, and materials may cause the 304 stainless steel to develop surface rust and
consequently pitting. Under these conditions the grill exterior MUST be cleaned at least monthly. Inspect your grill
often and clean accordingly.
Protecting Your Grill
An optional protective cover will protect your grill when not in use. Install the cover on a cool and dry grill. DO NOT cover a
damp grill. During high humidity or after rainy conditions, remove the cover to dry trapped moisture if present. (If the cover
is installed over a damp grill it can cause surface rust.)
Ensure that the INSIDE of the cover is DRY before putting it back on the grill.
