Care & Maintenance; Checking The Gas Level; Cleaning Frequency - Pit Boss PB100P Instructions Et Utilisation

CHECKING THE GAS LEVEL

To check the amount of fuel in the LP gas cylinder, the grill must be in operation. Place
your hand at the top of the tank and slowly move down the side until the tank feels cool
to the touch. This will indicate the approximate amount of gas in your tank; if ¾ empty,
replace with full tank.
IMPORTANT: Do not use charcoal briquettes or any flammable
material with your grill. Use of such material will void your warranty
and may lead to a fire, explosion and bodily harm.

CLEANING FREQUENCY

Any Pit Boss unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning.
An important step is allowing the grill and cooking grids to self-clean by running the
grill at a high temperature for 5 to 10 minutes after each use. Follow these cleaning and
maintenance tips to service your grill:
1. BURNER COMPONENTS
• Clean the burner whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no
signs of blockage (debris, insects) on the burner tube or in the burner portholes.
After periods of storage, spiders or small insects can build nests, webs, and lay
eggs in the burner tube, obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. If storing the
grill or before an extended period of non-use, remove the burner and wrap with
aluminum foil to reduce the risk of insects entering the burner holes.
• The burner has been preset for optimal flame performance. A blue flame,
possibly with a small yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air and gas mixture.
If flames are excessively yellow, orange or irregular, clean the oil and food
deposits on the burner surface and the burner portholes to increase airflow.
2. INSIDE SURFACES
• Use a long-handled grill cleaning brush (brass or soft metal), 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 tray often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind the type
of foods that are cooked.
