Strong chemical or plastic smell during first few cooks

Safety first: Perform initial burn-off with no food on the grill and with the lid open or partially open as recommended.

• Remove packaging: Ensure all plastic, cardboard, and manuals are removed from inside the grill.
• Clean surfaces: Wipe interior surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dust and light oils.
• Burn-off: Run the grill at a medium-high temperature for 30–60 minutes to burn off residual oils and cure paint. Some odor is normal during this process.
• Ventilation: Perform burn-off outdoors in a well-ventilated area away from open windows.
