Safety: Allow the grill to cool before cleaning.

• Replace pellets: Use fresh, dry pellets and store them in a sealed container.
• Clean fire pot and air holes: Vacuum ash and ensure all air holes are open.
• Check fan intake: Make sure the combustion fan intake is not blocked by dust or debris.
• Test fan strength: If airflow seems weak, inspect and replace the combustion fan motor as needed.
