Care & Maintenance - Pit Boss PRO Série Manuel D'installation Et Fonctionnement

WARNING: Always disconnect the electrical cord prior to opening the grill for any inspection, cleaning,
maintenance or service work. Ensure the grill is completely cooled to avoid injury.
Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and maintenance
tips to service your grill:
1. HOPPER ASSEMBLY
• The hopper includes a clean-out feature to allow for ease of cleaning and a quick
change out of pellet fuel flavors. To empty, locate the plate and the cover of the
drop chute on the back side of the hopper. Place a clean, empty pail under the drop
chute cover, then remove the cover piece. Unscrew the plate, slide outwards, and
pellets will empty.
NOTE: Use a long handled brush or shop-vac to remove excess pellets,
sawdust, and debris for a complete clean-out through the hopper screen.
• Running all pellets out of your auger system is recommended if your grill will be unused for an extended period
of time. This can be done by simply running your grill, on an empty hopper, until all pellets have emptied from the
auger tube.
• Check and clean off any debris from the fan air intake vent, found on the bottom of the hopper. Once the hopper
access panel is removed (see Electric Wire Diagram for diagram), carefully wipe off any grease build-up directly on
the fan blades. This ensures airflow is sufficient to the feed system.
2. MEAT PROBES
• Kinks or folds in the Meat Probe wires may cause damage to the part. Wires should be rolled up in a large, loose coil.
• Although Meat Probes are stainless steel, do not place in the dishwasher or submerge in water. Water damage to the
internal wires will cause the probe to short-out, causing false readings. If damaged, it should be replaced.
3. INSIDE SURFACES
• It is recommended to clean your fire pot after every few uses. This will ensure proper ignition and avoid any hard
build-up of debris or ash in the fire pot.
• Use a long-handled grill cleaning brush, remove any food or build-up from the cooking grids. Best practice is to do
this while they are still warm from a previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris on the cooking
components of the grill. Clean the inside of your grill on a consistent basis. In the event you experience a grease fire,
keep the grill lid closed to choke out the fire. If the fire does not go out quickly, carefully remove the food, turn the
grill off, and shut the lid until the fire is completely out. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.
• Check your grease bucket often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind the type of cooking you do.
IMPORTANT: Due to high heat, do not cover the flame broiler or probes with aluminum foil.
4. OUTSIDE SURFACES
• The front shelf includes a removable panel underneath for ease of cleaning. From
below, push the backing plate towards the main barrel to remove. Clean, then
replace by sliding back into place.
• Wipe your grill down after each use. Use warm soapy water to cut the grease. Do
not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside
grill surfaces. All painted surfaces are not covered under warranty, but rather
are part of general maintenance and upkeep. For paint scratches, wearing, or
flaking of the finish, all painted surfaces can be touched up using high heat BBQ
paint.
