7. Remove the four upper burner shields.
8. Remove the gas crossover channel from the burners by removing the four screws connecting it to the
burners.
9. Clear any debris, e.g., food, ashes, spider webs, insects, dirt, dried leaves, etc., from the holes along
the sides of all four gas burners with a pin, skewer or any other object capable of fitting through the
holes. Clogged burners affect performance. You may even vacuum out the ashes from the burners
and lower burner shields. Scrub with a plastic scouring pad to remove baked-on ashes.
10. Verify the gas burners are in good-working condition, free of any damage.. Replace if necessary.
Replacing the gas crossover channel, burner shields and cooking grates
1. Place the gas crossover channel onto the burners by reinserting each screw connecting it
to each burner.
2. Replace the four upper burner shields.
3. Replace the cooking grates and warming rack.
4. Reconnect the regulator hose to the propane tank cylinder valve.
FOR EXTERIOR SURFACES
EACH OF THESE ITEMS SHOULD BE CLEANED BEFORE OR AFTER EACH COOK:
Your grill & smoker exterior has been manufactured using enamel, powder-coating, plastic and
stainless-steel. All of these surfaces should be cleaned and maintained using only a mild dish soap and
hot water. DO NOT use harsh cleaning solutions. Rinse with clean warm water. Allow to dry thoroughly.
Meat probes
• Clean meat probes with a mild dish soap and a damp cloth. DO NOT submerge meat probes in water
to wash or clean them.
• Clean the burn pot periodically by vacuuming out the ash. Remove the grates, burner shields and
drip tray to access the burn pot from above. This should be done after every 24 hours of use. To help you
remember, the main SET temperature on the smoker control panel will display “CLn,” i.e., “Clean.”
OTHER PERIODIC CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• We highly recommended an annual inspection and service on this appliance by a qualified
service technician.
• Regularly verify the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.
• Ensure the area surrounding the grill is free of flammable and combustible materials, e.g., plywood,
fiberboard, wood, paper, gasoline, mineral spirits, etc.
• Regularly verify that the ventilation of the grill cabinet is free of debris.
• Regularly clean the gas burners and check the gas valves are free of any debris. Clogged burners affect
performance and can lead to flare-ups.
• When finished cooking, push and hold the ON/OFF button to run the shutdown procedure. The
shutdown procedure lasts about 15 minutes, keeps the fan blowing to cool down the auger system but
turns off the auger feeding the pellets to the burn pot. DO NOT unplug the smoker before the shutdown
procedure ends. The pellets remaining in the burn pot need to burn off. The surfaces will still be too hot to
the touch.
