Strong chemical or plastic smell during first few uses

Safety first: Operate the grill outdoors in a well‑ventilated area during initial burn‑in.

• Remove all packaging: Ensure all plastic, cardboard, and manuals are removed from inside the grill.
• Clean interior surfaces: Wipe down grates and interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry.
• Perform burn‑in: Run the grill empty at 350–400°F for 30–60 minutes with the lid closed to burn off manufacturing residues.
• Ventilate: Allow smoke and odors to dissipate before cooking food.
