Visible flames and popping noises from grease tray area; strong burning grease smell.

Safety first: If a grease fire occurs, do not open the lid fully or use water. Turn OFF and unplug the grill. Keep the lid closed until the fire burns out.

• After cooling: Once completely cool, remove grates and drip tray.
• Clean thoroughly: Scrape and wash the drip tray, grease channels, and drain. Remove all grease and food debris.
• Check drain bucket: Ensure the grease drain tube and bucket are clear and properly positioned.
• Avoid blocking flow: If using foil on the drip tray, do not cover or block grease channels.
