• ALWAYS unplug your grill before performing any cleaning,
maintenance, and/or operations involving any of the
electrical components
• Clean the grates and grease tray regularly. You can use
a wire brush to clean the stainless steel grates.
Alternatively, you can use an old camper’s trick of wadding
a piece of aluminum foil and rubbing it lightly on the grates
to clean it.
• Grease fire caution! As with any barbecue, the potential
for a grease fire exists. To reduce this possibility, regularly
clean the grease tray to prevent flammable buildup. An
easy way to do this is to line the tray with aluminum foil or
use our grease tray liners. Use multiple sheets on the tray
and then just peel one off each time you cook. If you are
going to line your tray with aluminum foil, make sure it is at
least a few inches away from the thermal sensor on the left.
• Clean the chimney cap. Wipe down the underside of the
cap regularly to prevent grease drip.
• Clean the drip system. Make sure the trough where
grease drains into the discharge spout is clean and free of
debris.
• Place grill on level ground. The grill should be kept as
level as possible so that the grease flows into the trough
and out into the bucket and also to insure that the sensor
reads evenly, as hot air displaced to one side or the other
will cause irregular operation.
• Clean ash out of the firebox periodically. The best
way to do this is with a Shop-Vac. You should expect
to clean this out about every 2–3 bags of pellets. If
ash covers the igniter, the grill may not light. When
you clean out the ash from your firepot, it is not
necessary to add in more pellets afterwards. The
auger will add in the correct amount of pellets in the
start-up cycle.
• Regularly clean the inside of your grill. Remove
grease with hot, soapy water or a grill cleaner. Keep
liquids away from the auger tube and the pellets.
Liquids will drain through the bottom hole.
Alternatively, just turn the grill on at 500°F for an hour
or more to bake off most internal residues.
• Clean the grill lid window. The window will discolor
over time. The best way to clean the window is with
steel wool.
• Protect your grill. Use a grill cover as much as
possible. Water may be able to get in through the
hopper in wet conditions. Make sure to check for wet
pellets if your grill gets left out in the rain. As stated,
pellets and water do not mix. Your hopper will, for the
most part, stay dry in most weather, but a driving rain
may cause adverse results.

While you will hopefully have no problems, machinery
can fail. Fortunately, each part on the grill is modular,
so you can easily replace one if necessary.
