CLEANING:
• Creosote – Formation and need for
removal. When wood pellets are
burned slowly, they produce tar and
other organic vapors that combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote.
The creosote vapors condense in a
relatively cool oven flue and exhaust
hood of a slow burning fire. As a
result, creosote residue accumulates
on the flue lining and exhaust hood.
When ignited, this creosote makes
an extremely hot fire. The grease
duct should be inspected every 50
hours of cooking to determine when
grease and/or creosote build-up has
occurred. When grease or creosote has
accumulated, it should be removed to
reduce risk of fire.
• Ashes should be placed in a metal
container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be
placed on a non-combustible floor
or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending final
disposal. When the ashes are disposed
by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed they should be retained in
the closed container until all cinders
have thoroughly cooled.
STORAGE:
• Always allow the appliance to cool
before covering with the cover.
• Always cover the appliance, with cover
(if supplied), when not in use.
• Always unplug grill before installing
patio cover.
