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.
· 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.)
· Always turn off the LP gas cylinder at the LP
cylinder valve when not in use. Allow grill to cool
before handling parts or cleaning.
