Strong chemical or plastic smell during first few cooks

Safety first: Operate the grill outdoors in a well‑ventilated area only.

• Remove all packaging: Ensure all plastic, cardboard, and manuals are removed from inside the grill.
• Perform burn‑in: With grates and drip pan installed, run the grill empty at 350–400°F for 45–60 minutes to burn off manufacturing oils.
• Clean grates: After cool‑down, wash cooking grates with warm soapy water, rinse, dry, and lightly oil.
• Monitor smell: Mild odor during initial burn‑in is normal. If strong chemical smell persists after several burns, contact Nexgrill support.
