Flare-ups or small fires occur in the cook chamber, often under fatty foods.

Safety first: In case of a grease fire, keep the lid closed, turn the grill OFF, and unplug it. Do not use water to extinguish a grease fire. Use a Class B fire extinguisher if needed.

Steps to prevent and address flare-ups:

• 1. Clean drip tray and diffuser: Regularly remove grease and carbon buildup from the drip tray and diffuser plate.
• 2. Avoid blocking grease flow: Do not completely cover the drip tray with foil; leave a path for grease to drain.
• 3. Manage cooking temperature: For very fatty foods, cook at moderate temperatures and monitor closely.
• 4. Inspect diffuser: Ensure the heat diffuser is correctly installed and not warped or missing, which can expose open flame to grease.
