Always wait until the grill has cooled down and turn off the power before cleaning.
Drip Trays
To prevent the accumulation of grease and debris, it is essential to regularly clean the drip trays beneath
the grill.
NOTE: Allow the drip trays to cool before attempting to clean.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless covered (cover sold
separately). Rainwater can collect inside the grill, cart, or drip trays if left uncovered. If the drip trays are
not cleaned after use and the grill is left exposed, the drip trays will fill with water causing grease and
water to spill into the grill cart. We recommend cleaning the drip trays after every use.
Cooking Grates
The cooking grates can be cleaned after cooking is completed and after turning off the grill but exercise
extreme caution because the grates will be hot if you clean them immediately after cooking. Always
wear a barbecue mitt and scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the grill is allowed to cool
down, cleaning the grates will be easier if removed from the grill and cleaned with mild detergent.
Heat Shield
Washing the heat shield after every use is not necessary, but periodically it is suggested you wash it in a
soap and warm water solution. Do not clean the heat shield immediately after using the grill. Allow it to
cool. Use a putty knife or wire brush to remove stubborn, burned-on cooking residue. Dry the heat
shield thoroughly before you reinstall it in the cooking insert.
Meat Probes
Clean your meat probes after each use, being careful not to get the wires wet. The meat probes must
stay clean and dry to function correctly. Do not clean the meat probes in a dishwasher or submerge
them in water.
Stainless Steel Care and Maintenance
It is a common misconception that stainless steel will maintain its original factory shine with little help
from the consumer. Unfortunately, this is not true. Stainless steel will not stain, discolor, corrode, or rust
as fast as other types of steel. If not properly maintained, all grades of stainless steel can face surface
discoloration, corrosion, and eventually rust. Any stainless steel exposed to the environment will require
attention and care throughout its life to ensure its shine and structural integrity.
