2. Plug in the grill and turn it on.
3. Set the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to run for at least 45 minutes.
4. Turn off the grill and let it cool completely.
5. Your grill is now seasoned and ready for use.

Maintenance

Cleaning After Each Use

• Cooking Grates: Once cooled, scrape off any food residue with a grill brush. The enamel-coated grates are designed for easy cleaning.
• Grease Bucket: Regularly empty and clean the grease bucket to prevent overflow and potential fire hazards.
• Ash Clean-Out: Periodically remove ash from the firepot and ash collection system. Ensure the grill is completely cool before cleaning ash.
• Exterior: Wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Long-Term Storage

If storing the grill for an extended period, especially in humid conditions:

• Empty all wood pellets from the hopper and auger system. Pellets can absorb moisture and swell, leading to auger jams.
• Clean the grill thoroughly, including the firepot and grease management system.
• Store the grill in a dry, covered area. Consider using a grill cover for added protection.
