Drip Pan
The full width drip pan will collect grease from the main grill area. The pan should be cleaned after every
use to avoid the possibility of a grease fire. Be sure to allow the drip pan to cool prior to cleaning. You
may clean the drip pan with a solution of warm soapy water. Make sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid stain-
ing.
Charcoal Grill
To prevent burns or injury, make sure grill is completely cool before cleaning. The CR-1000 charcoal grill
is made from non-magnetic, 304 grade stainless steel. After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor

There are various stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, and
always scrub in the direction of the grain. Soapy water should be sufficient for most cleaning.
Note: DO NOT use oven cleaners or abrasive cleaners on enameled surfaces. They may damage the fin-

Ash Removal
Remove the ashes as soon as possible after each use. Wait until the charcoal has cooled, slide out the drip
pan and pour out the ashes. You can save the larger pieces of charcoal next time you cook. Use a garden
hose to wash out accumulated grease and ashes. Allow the drip pan to dry before reinserting into the grill.
