Strong chemical or plastic smell during initial use or after storage

Safety first: Operate the grill outdoors with good ventilation. Do not cook food until the smell dissipates.

• 1. Remove accessories:
  • Take out any non-original accessories or packaging materials.
• 2. Clean interior:
  • Wipe grates, drip pan, and interior surfaces with warm soapy water, then rinse and dry.
• 3. Perform burn-off:
  • Run the grill empty at 350–400°F for 45–60 minutes.
  • Allow to cool and repeat if odor persists.
• 4. Avoid harsh chemicals:
  • Do not use oven cleaner or solvent-based sprays inside the cook chamber.
