Grease fire occurs in cook chamber; flames visible under drip tray.

Immediate safety actions:

• Turn the grill off and unplug it.
• Keep the lid closed to starve the fire of oxygen.
• Do not use water on the fire. Use a Class B fire extinguisher if necessary.

After fire is out and grill is cool:

• Clean thoroughly: Remove grates and drip tray. Scrape off all grease and dispose of it safely.
• Clear grease channel: Ensure the drain path to the bucket is open.
• Avoid foil blockage: If using foil on the drip tray, leave the drain opening clear.
• Adjust cooking method: For very fatty foods, cook at lower temperatures and empty the grease bucket frequently.
