How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Remove and clean drip tray: Scrape off heavy grease and wash with hot, soapy water. Ensure the tray is not warped.
  • 2. Clear grease channel: Use a flexible brush or pipe cleaner to clear the grease channel and drain tube leading to the bucket.
  • 3. Verify bucket placement: Ensure the grease bucket is properly hung and aligned with the drain outlet.
  • 4. Reinstall drip tray correctly: Make sure the tray slopes toward the drain side as designed.

When to call a technician: If the cabinet has been damaged by prolonged grease exposure or the drain system is cracked, replacement parts or professional repair may be needed.
