Care & Maintenance - Pit Boss PB700T1 Montaje Y Operación

Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. An important step is allowing the grill
and cooking grids to self-clean by running the grill at a high temperature for 5 to 10 minutes after each use. Follow these cleaning
and maintenance tips to service your grill:
1. HOPPER ASSEMBLY
• The hopper includes a clean-out feature to allow for ease of cleaning and change out
of pellet fuel flavors. To empty, locate the plate and the cover of the drop chute on
the back side of the hopper. Place a clean, empty pail under the drop chute cover, then
remove the cover piece. Unscrew the plate, slide outwards, and pellets will empty.
NOTE: Use a long handled brush or shop-vac to remove excess pellets,
sawdust, and debris for a complete clean-out through the hopper screen.
• Check and clean off any debris from the fan air intake vent, found on the bottom of the hopper. Once the hopper access
panel is removed (see Electric Wire Diagram for diagram), carefully wipe off any grease build-up directly on the fan
blades. This ensures airflow is sufficient to the feed system.
2. PROBES
• Kinks or folds in the probe wires may cause damage to the part. Wires should be rolled up in a large, loose coil.
• Although the probes are stainless steel, do not place in the dishwasher or submerge in water. Water damage to the
internal wires will cause the probe to short-out, causing false readings. If a probe is damaged, it should be replaced.
3. INSIDE SURFACES
• It is recommended to clean your fire pot after every few uses. This will ensure proper ignition and avoid any hard
build-up of debris or ash in the fire pot.
• Using a grill cleaning brush, remove any food or build-up from the cooking grids. Best practice is to do this while they
are still warm from a previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris on the cooking components of
the grill. Clean the inside of your grill on a consistent basis. In the event you experience a grease fire, keep the grill
lid closed to choke out the fire. If the fire does not go out quickly, carefully remove the food, turn the grill off, and
shut the lid until the fire is completely out. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.
• Check your grease bucket often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind the type of cooking you do.
IMPORTANT: Due to high heat, do not cover the flame broiler or probes with aluminum foil.
4. OUTSIDE SURFACES
• Wipe your grill down after each use. Use warm soapy water to cut the grease. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive
cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside grill surfaces. All painted surfaces are not covered under
warranty, but rather are part of general maintenance and upkeep. For paint scratches, wearing, or flaking of the
finish, all painted surfaces can be touched up using high heat BBQ paint.
• Use a grill cover to protect your grill for complete protection! A cover is your best protection against weather and
outside pollutants. When not in use or for longterm storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed.
