CARE & MAINTENANCE
• Wash cooking grids and charcoal grates with hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry complete-
ly with a towel. NEVER allow grates to drip dry, or dry in a dishwasher, as rusting may occur.
• After washing and drying, lightly coat grates and grids with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.
• Clean the inside and outside of the grill by wiping it with a damp cloth. Apply a light coat of
vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to the interior surfaces to prevent rusting.
• If rust appears on the outside of your grill, clean and buff the affected area with steel wool
or a fine grit emery cloth. Touch up spots with a good quality high-temperature, rust-resis-
tant paint.
• NEVER APPLY PAINT TO THE INTERIOR SURFACE. Doing so could cause a fire resulting in
serious bodily harm or property damage.
• If rust appears on the interior surface of you grill, clean and buff the affected area with steel
wool or a fine-grit emery cloth. Coat the interior lightly with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Only use high grade charcoal briquettes, lump charcoal, cooking wood or charcoal/wood
mixtures.
Wood chips and wood chunks may be used for a more robust flavor. Wood chips are avail-
able in a variety of flavors.
FIRST USE
• Please make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the
charcoal grill.
• Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this charcoal grill for the first time. Do this by
operating the charcoal grill for at least 15 minutes with the lid closed, prior to adding food.
This will "heat clean" the internal parts and dissipate odors.
