How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the grill to cool completely before cleaning grease. Wear gloves.

  • Inspect drip tray: Remove grates and verify the drip tray is installed with the correct slope toward the grease channel.
  • Clean channels: Scrape and wipe grease channels and the drain opening leading to the bucket. Use a flexible brush if needed.
  • Check bucket: Ensure the grease bucket is installed, not overfilled, and properly hooked to the drain spout.
  • Prevent buildup: Clean the drip tray and channels regularly to prevent future leaks and fire risk.
