END of Cooking Session, Care and Maintenance

END OF COOKING SESSION

To reduce the risk of serious injury from burns or fire:

·Wait until hot ashes or charcoal is completely extinguished before disposal in a safe place.

·Allow the grill to cool before cleaning, moving or putting on a grill cover.

·Empty and clean the Drip Pan after each cooking session so excessive grease does not accumulate. Never light the charcoal grill without the Drip Pan in place.

1)After each cooking session, close the hood.

2)Close the Slide Vents and allow the charcoal to die down.

3)Wait until the grill is cool.

4)Regularly clean your charcoal grill between uses and after extended storage periods. To maintain the condition and extend the life of your grill, we strongly recommend that the unit be covered when stored outside for any length of time, especially during the winter months.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

To reduce the risk of a cut injury:

·Be careful or wear protective gloves when cleaning grill parts that have sharp edges.

CLEANING THE GRILL

1)Charcoal Grate-Remove and shake expended ashes into a safe receptacle or area. If any unburned charcoal, just leave it until next time. (Optional) Scrape any residue from the grate. Wash with warm soapy water if you wish, or just spray with garden hose.

2)Drip Pan-Remove and clean out excess grease and drippings. Wash with soap and water or mild abrasive cleanser.

3)Cooking Grids-Clean the residue off with a baking soda and water solution. Use a non-abrasive scouring powder. for stubborn stains. Some char may remain; ok to leave it.

4)Grill Body-Remove excess grease and/or fat with a soft plastic or wooden scraper. Do not use steel wool or other abrasive cleansers that can scratch the porcelain coated surfaces. It is not necessary to remove all the grease from the body. Wipe it down with paper towels or soft damp cloth. For further cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only.

5)Side Tables and Wood parts-Wipe off with damp cloth.
