Operating Instructions
Once assembled and securely anchored, your Sunjoy Grill Gazebo is ready for use. It provides a dedicated, protected space for your grilling activities.
- Grilling Area: Position your grill centrally under the gazebo. The double-tiered roof is designed to allow smoke to escape, ensuring proper ventilation.
- Utilize Shelves: Use the built-in side shelves to hold grilling tools, plates, ingredients, and beverages. These provide convenient access during cooking.
- Lighting: If desired, hang a suitable outdoor light fixture from the ceiling hook to illuminate your grilling area during evening use. Ensure any electrical components are rated for outdoor use and properly protected from moisture.
- Weather Protection: Enjoy grilling in various weather conditions. The hardtop roof offers shade from the sun and protection from rain, allowing you to grill comfortably.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your Sunjoy Grill Gazebo.
- Cleaning: Clean the steel frame and roof panels periodically with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Inspect Connections: Annually, or more frequently if exposed to harsh weather, inspect all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose fasteners.
- Rust Prevention: While the frame is powder-coated for rust resistance, minor scratches or chips in the finish can expose the metal. Touch up any damaged areas with appropriate rust-inhibiting paint to prevent corrosion.
- Snow Removal: In areas with heavy snowfall, it is advisable to periodically clear excessive snow accumulation from the roof to prevent structural stress, although the roof is designed to hold significant weight.
Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
- Gazebo feels unstable:
- Ensure all assembly bolts and screws are fully tightened.
- Verify that the gazebo is securely anchored to a level surface using all provided anchoring plates.
- Check the ground surface for unevenness; if necessary, relocate to a more level area or use shims under the base plates.
- Water pooling on the roof:
- While the hardtop roof is designed to shed water, ensure no debris (leaves, branches) is obstructing the roof's natural drainage paths.
- Verify that the roof panels are correctly installed and aligned according to the assembly instructions, ensuring proper overlap where applicable.
- Parts missing or damaged during unboxing:
- Refer to the parts list in your assembly manual. Contact Sunjoy customer service immediately with details of the missing or damaged parts.
