PELLET HOPPER CLEAN OUT
Your Broil King ® Pellet Grill has a hopper clean out system
designed for easy removal of excess fuel to quickly change pellet
flavors or clean out remaining pellets after use.
GREASE CLEAN OUT
Grease fires are caused by not properly maintaining the grill and
failing to clean the grease management system on a consistent
basis. In the unlikely event of a grease fire while cooking, turn
off / unplug the appliance and keep the lid closed until the fire is
completely out. Never keep the lid open during a grease fire.
ASH CLEAN OUT
After each cook out wait for the grill to completely cool before
removing and emptying the Ash Tray. First step is to open the
agitator to the unlock position indicated on the cover. You can
slide the Agitator between lock and unlock to help ash fall into
the tray. Only dispose ashes which are completely cool and
extinguished.
Return the Agitator to the closed position before using the grill
again.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid.
The closed container of ashes should be placed on a
noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are
disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled."
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The Broil King ® Pellet Grill will give you many years of great
service with minimal care. The seasoning process will help
preserve the internal steel components. Use a stainless steel
brush to clean cooking grids and components that are soiled.
It may be necessary to clean and re-season your cooking grids.
Brush them thoroughly with a Broil King ® (#64014) stainless steel
grill brush to remove any debris and apply a thin layer of a high
smoke point oil. Then, place the cooking grids into your grill, and
cook at 400°F (205°C) for 1 hour. Repeat as desired. This coating
of oil will protect your cooking grids and provide years of trouble
free use.
Clean the exterior using warm, soapy water.
To clean the interior, use a Broil King ® (#65641) wire-bristle grill
brush to remove any debris from the cook box. The layer of oils
that accumulates inside the smoker – the seasoning – is
protective and does not need to be scrubbed clean with any
frequency.
Always keep your Broil King ® Pellet Grill covered when not in
use - use Broil King ® grill cover #67066 for the Crown Pellet 500
(Model #494051) or grill cover #67064 for the Crown Pellet 400
(Model #493051)
