How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: If a grease fire occurs, turn the grill off and unplug it. Keep the lid closed to starve the fire of oxygen. Use a Class B or K fire extinguisher if needed. Never use water on a grease fire.
- After fire is out and grill is cool: Remove grates, drip tray, and clean all grease and charred material from the cook box and grease system.
- Inspect components: Check for warped or damaged drip trays, heat diffusers, and wiring. Replace any damaged parts.
- Prevent recurrence: Clean the grease system regularly, especially before high-heat cooks. Avoid operating at maximum temperature with heavy grease buildup.
