Visible flames and popping noises from grease tray; potential grease fire.

Safety first: If a grease fire occurs, do not open the lid fully or use water. Turn the grill off, unplug it, and keep the lid closed. Use a Class B fire extinguisher if flames escape the grill.

• Step 1 – Extinguish and cool: Wait until all flames are out and the grill is cool before opening.
• Step 2 – Clean thoroughly: Remove grates and drip tray. Scrape off all grease and carbon from the tray and grease channels. Empty and clean the grease bucket.
• Step 3 – Check tray alignment: Reinstall the drip tray according to the manual, ensuring proper slope toward the grease drain.
• Step 4 – Adjust cooking method: For very fatty foods, cook at lower temperatures and use drip pans to catch grease.
