BEFORE USING THE GRILL
SLIDE-OUT GREASE TRAY AND DISPOSABLE DRIP PAN
Your grill was built with a grease collection system. Check the slide-out grease tray and 
disposable drip pan for grease build-up each time you use your grill.
Remove excess grease with a plastic spatula; see illustration. When necessary, wash 
the grease tray and drip pan with a soap and water solution, then rinse with clean water. 
Replace the disposable drip pan as needed.
m  WARNING: Check the slide-out grease tray and disposable 
drip pan for grease build-up before each use. Remove 
excess grease to avoid a grease fire. A grease fire can cause 
serious bodily injury or damage to property.
m  CAUTION: Do not line the slide-out grease tray with 
aluminum foil.
