Cleaning and Care CAUTION: All cleaning and maintenance should be done when grill is cool (about 45 minutes) and with the fuel supply removed. CAUTION: DO NOT clean any grill part in a self cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish. Notices: 1. Abrasive cleaners will damage this product. 2. Never use oven cleaner to clean any part of grill. Cleaning Surfaces: 1. Wipe surfaces clean with mild dishwashing detergent or baking soda. 2. For stubborn surfaces use a citrus based degreaser and a nylon scrubbing brush. 3. Rinse clean with water. Tips: 1. Keep grill covered when not in use to help prevent rust. 2. Applying a light coat of vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to the interior surfaces of the grill can help prevent rust. Do NOT coat charcoal grate or bottom bowl. Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal, charcoal/wood mixture, lump charcoal or cooking wood. First Use 1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the grill. 2. Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this grill for the first time, by operating the grill for at least 15 minutes with the lid closed. This will “heat clean” the internal parts and dissipate odors. Lighting Instructions Check to make sure the air vents are free of debris and ash before using the grill. Make sure bottom bowl is empty and securely and completely in place before using the grill. 1. Open lid and vents. 2. Make sure bottom bowl is empty and secure. 3. Remove cooking grid. 4. Arrange charcoal briquettes or other fuel on the charcoal grid to the “Fill Line” (Figure 1). 5. Light per instructions on fuel package. 6. Allow fuel time to ash into glowing coals before cooking. CAUTION: When using a liquid starter always check bottom bowl before lighting. Fluid can collect in the bottom bowl and could ignite resulting in a fire below the bowl. CAUTION: Never add lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing serious injury or damage to property. Direct Cooking Cooking directly over hot coals is ideal for searing in juices and grilling food requiring less than 25 minutes of grilling time, such as steaks, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken parts, vegetables and fruit. 1. Open lid and remove cooking grid. 2. Load and light charcoal per “Lighting Instructions” section. Leave lid open. 3. While wearing protective gloves, carefully spread hot coals evenly across charcoal grid with a long handle tool. 4. While wearing protective gloves replace cooking grid, close lid and allow grill to preheat. 5. While wearing protective gloves open lid and place food onto cooking grids above the hot coals with long handle tongs. 6. With lid open or closed, cook until desired internal food temperatures are achieved. Note: If additional briquettes are needed, remove food from cooking grid and while wearing protective gloves remove the cooking grid and place additional briquettes without disturbing the hot coals. Carefully replace cooking grid and food. 7. Allow charcoal to burn out by closing lid and all vents. Except in the case of an emergency, do NOT pour water on hot coals.
