Visible grease fire in cook chamber with flames under or around food.

Safety first: Do not use water on a grease fire. Keep the lid closed, unplug the grill, and use a Class B or K fire extinguisher if necessary.

• Step 1 – Starve the fire: Close the lid and all access doors to cut off oxygen. Unplug the grill.
• Step 2 – Extinguish if needed: If flames persist or threaten surroundings, use a fire extinguisher rated for grease.
• Step 3 – After cool-down, deep clean: Remove grates, drip tray, and heat baffle. Scrape and clean all grease from internal surfaces and the grease channel.
• Step 4 – Prevent recurrence: Line the drip tray with heavy-duty foil correctly (without blocking drain) and clean regularly, especially after cooking fatty meats.
