®
tips to service your grill:
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.
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. HOPPER ASSEMBLY
•
The hopper includes a clean-out feature to allow for ease of cleaning and 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.
3. PROBES
•
Kinks or folds in the probe wires may cause damage to the part. Wires should be rolled up in a large, loose coil.
•
Although the 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 a probe is damaged, it should be replaced.
4. INSIDE SURFACES
•
It is recommended to clean your burn pot after every few uses. This will ensure proper ignition and avoid any hard
build-up of debris or ash in the burn pot.
•
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 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.
