Cleaning and Maintenance

Regularly clean grease from the grill to prevent grease fires. It is easier to clean off grease when the grill is
warm. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN YOURSELF.
• Clean or change the aluminum foil on the grease deflector.
• Clean grease from the grease drain and grease drain tube.
• Wipe grease off the interior surfaces of the grill.
• Empty the grease bucket and line with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Use warm soapy water to clean the outside grill surfaces and to cut the grease. Do not use oven cleaner,
abrasive cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads. During the rainy season be sure that water does not get into the
pellet hopper. Wet wood pellets expand and will jam your auger. Consider using a cover to protect your grill
when it is stored.
Cleaning of ash from inside and around the crucible:
DANGER! Turn the switch OFF and disconnect the power cord.
WARNING! Make sure that the grill is COLD before cleaning the ash.
WARNING! Follow the instructions below to dispose of ashes.
Excess ash in the crucible may cause your fire to go out, especially in the SMOKE setting. The crucible should
be inspected occasionally and cleaned to remove the ash buildup. Again, cleaning the ash from in and around
the crucible should be done only when the grill is COLD. Remove the cooking grate, grease deflector and heat
diffuser to provide access to the crucible and the interior of the grill. Much of the ash outside of the crucible
can be swept to the open area at the left of the crucible using a small whisk broom. It can be removed from
the grill with a small metal fireplace shovel or other similar tool. Follow the instructions below to dispose of
ashes.
WARNING! A vacuum cleaner is the best way to remove ashes from the crucible but this must be done with
extreme care to avoid the risk of fire. Again, cleaning the ash from the crucible should be done only when the
grill is COLD. A utility-type vacuum cleaner having a metal collection canister without a bag would be best for
this task. However, almost any vacuum cleaner will work safely if this procedure is properly followed. After
assuring that the ash in the crucible is COLD, vacuum the ash from inside of the crucible.
1. If your vacuum cleaner is a bagless model empty any previously accumulated debris from the collection
chamber. Vacuum the ash from the inside of the crucible. Once the crucible is clean empty the collection
chamber into the metal container described below without delay. Make sure there is no remaining ash
residue left in the collection chamber.
2. If your vacuum cleaner uses a disposable bag install an unused one in the machine. Then vacuum the ash
from the inside of the crucible. Once the crucible is clean, remove the bag from the vacuum cleaner and
place it in the metal container described below without delay.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
WARNING! Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, away from all combustible materials, pending
final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be
retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Clean cooking grates with a long-handled cleaning brush.
