Care & Maintenance - Pit Boss MEMPHIS ULTIMATE 2.0 Manuel De L'utilisateur

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. 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.
2. 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.
3. CHARCOAL TRAY
• Clean out the charcoal tray when a build-up of ash is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage of the holes
on the charcoal airflow plate. Check your charcoal tray often, and clean out as necessary. Obstruction to the charcoal
tray may result in failure to reach a desired temperature.
4. INSIDE SURFACES
• 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 cups and grease trays often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind the type of cooking you do.
IMPORTANT: The water pan may accumulate grease. Refill and replace the water in the water pan often.
• The glass of the Electric Smoker door is tempered and will not break with high heat; however, excessive build-up
may cause the door to not close if not cleaned regularly. Smoke and debris can be removed with frequent cleaning
of the glass.
• Door seal and inside seam seal attaches to, should be cleaned with a clean damp cloth after each use to keep seal in
proper working condition.
