Meco Bonza Series manual Flavor Activators, Bottom Panel/ Grease Tray, Cleaning the Grill Body

Flavor Activators™

It is not necessary to remove and wash the Flavor Activators in order to keep them clean. Burning off the residue after each cooking should be sufficient. Heavy grease deposits can be cleaned with a baking soda and water solution.

Bottom Panel/ Grease Tray

·Always turn the LP gas cylinder valve “Off” when not in use. Allow grill to cool before handling parts or cleaning.

·Empty the foil pan and grease tray after each cooking session so excessive grease does not

	accumulate. Failure to remove grease may result
in	grease dripping onto the cart and/or a grease fire
in	the tray.
·	Never light the LP gas grill without the foil pan

and grease tray in place.

·Before each use, check your Bottom Panel, Grease Tray, and Foil Pan. If there is excessive grease buildup, clean and replace. Remove any charcoal and wood chunk ash before each use.

·Make sure Bottom Panel, Grease Tray, & Foil Pan are in place before each grilling session.

·Failure to remove grease from the Foil Pan may result in grease dripping onto cart and/or a grease fire in tray.

·The Foil Pan can be cleaned or replaced with a standard size foil pan (apprx. 5-1/2” W. x 8-1/2” L. x 1-1/8” H.)
