CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1) Charcoal Grate-Remove and shake expended ashes into
a safe receptacle or area. If any unburned charcoal, just
leave it until next time. (Optional) Scrape any residue from
the grate. Wash with warm soapy water if you wish, or just
spray with garden hose.
2) Drip Pan-Remove and clean out excess grease and
drippings. Wash with soap and water or mild abrasive
cleanser.
CLEANING THE GRILL
1) After each cooking session, close the hood.
2) Close the Slide Vents and allow the charcoal to die down.
3) Wait until the grill is cool.
4) Regularly clean your charcoal grill between uses and after
extended storage periods. To maintain the condition and
extend the life of your grill, we strongly recommend that
the unit be covered when stored outside for any length of
time, especially during the winter months.
END OF COOKING SESSION
To reduce the risk of serious injury from burns or fire:
· Wait until hot ashes or charcoal is completely
extinguished before disposal in a safe place.
· Allow the grill to cool before cleaning, moving or
putting on a grill cover.
· Empty and clean the Drip Pan after each cooking
session so excessive grease does not accumulate.
Never light the charcoal grill without the Drip Pan in
place.
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:
· Do not store a charcoal grill while it is hot.
· Store your charcoal grill in a cool dry place.
· Do not store charcoal and lighter fluid indoors. Store it
outdoors out of the reach of children.
· To avoid an fire or explosion, do not store charcoal or
lighter fluid near a heat source.
· Do not store additional charcoal and lighter fluid under
or near the charcoal grill while it is hot.
· Always cap the lighter fluid when not in use.
STORAGE
1) Clean your grill before storing.
2) Remove the Cooking Grid. Rub with a coat of light cooking
oil and wrap with aluminum foil. Store wrapped Cooking
Grid back into the grill.
3) You may also wrap the Charcoal Grate in aluminum foil or
just leave it alone.
4) Store Charcoal and lighter fluid separate from the grill.
5) Place a grill cover over the grill and store it outdoors if
possible. It may be stored indoors only if the charcoal and
lighter fluid are not stored with it.
6) Before next use, remove aluminum foil from Cooking Grids
and Charcoal Grate and reinstall in grill.
7) Periodically check and tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws.
3) Cooking Grids-Clean the residue off with a baking soda
and water solution. Use a non-abrasive scouring powder.
for stubborn stains. Some char may remain; ok to leave it.
4) Grill Body-Remove excess grease and/or fat with a soft
plastic or wooden scraper. Do not use steel wool or other
abrasive cleansers that can scratch the porcelain coated
surfaces. It is not necessary to remove all the grease from
the body. Wipe it down with paper towels or soft damp
cloth. For further cleaning, use hot soapy water and a
cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only.
5) Side Tables and Wood parts-Wipe off with damp cloth.
To reduce the risk of a cut injury:
· Be careful or wear protective gloves when cleaning grill
parts that have sharp edges.
