Meal-to-Meal Maintenance
Keep it Clean
Accumulated dirt and grease may reduce grill
performance. Factors such as altitude, wind and
outside temperature can affect cooking times.
Check for Grease
Your grill was built with a grease management
system that funnels grease away from food and into a
disposable container. As you cook, grease is channeled
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 grill in order to
prevent fires.
1) Confirm that the grill is off and cool.
2) Unplug and remove temperature controller by
pulling it side-to-side slightly until it releases from
the mounting bracket (A).
3) Remove the slide-out catch pan by pulling it
forward (B).
4) 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.
5) Reinstall all components.
Clean the Cooking Grate
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 grill brush immediately after preheating (C).
Cleaning the Temperature Controller
Wipe down temperature controller with a microfiber
cloth dampened with water. Do not use cleaners or
brushes as they will scratch the surface. Never use
glass cleaners on plastic. It will damage the surface.
Storing the Temperature Controller
Allow the temperature controller and probes to cool
before wiping them clean. Store the temperature
controller and food probes indoors in the storage box
provided (D).

in water. Take care not to expose the wiring of
