Keep it Clean
Accumulated dirt and grease may reduce barbecue
performance. Factors such as altitude, wind and
outside temperature can aect cooking times.
Check for Grease Before Every Cook
Your barbecue was built with a grease management
system that funnels grease away from food and
into a disposable container. As you cook, grease is
channelled down to the slide-out catch pan and into
a disposable drip pan that lines the catch pan. This
system should be cleaned each and every time you
barbecue in order to prevent fires.
1) Confirm that the barbecue is o and cool.
2) Remove the slide-out catch pan by pulling it
forward (A).
3) Check for grease in the disposable drip pan that
lines the slide-out catch pan. Discard disposable drip
pan when necessary and replace with a new one.
4) Reinstall all components.
Clean the Cooking Grate After Preheating
After preheating, any bits of food or debris left over
from previous use will be easier to remove. Clean
cooking grates will also prevent your next meal from
sticking.
1) Brush the cooking grates with a stainless
steel bristle barbecue brush (sold separately)
immediately after preheating(B).
Cleaning and Storing the Temperature Controller
When cooking is complete and the barbecue is o,
allow the temperature controller to cool before wiping
it clean.
1) Unplug and remove temperature controller by
pulling it side-to-side slightly until it releases from
the mounting bracket (C).
2) Wipe down temperature controller with a
microfibre cloth dampened with water and allow
to completely dry. Do not use cleaners or brushes
as they will scratch the surface. Never use glass
cleaners on plastic. It will damage the surface. Do
not immerse in water.
3) Store the temperature controller indoors, out of the
reach of children.
