When finished cooking on your Champion, set your desired temperature to 232oC to 260oC / 450oF to 500oF. Let your grill run for 5
to 15 minutes, depending on what you just cooked, to go through its normal cleaning method. If you were preparing meats that
were extra greasy, such as anything in BACON, it is a good practice to allow the grill to burn off for an extra 10 to 20 minutes. You
could experience a grease fire, but DO NOT PANIC, DO NOT UNPLUG the appliance, just leave the lid closed and let the grill burn
itself out naturally. Much like a self-cleaning oven This will greatly reduce the changes of "flare-up" while you are preparing your
next savory meal.
When cleaning is complete, simply push the STOP touch pad. Your grill control will begin its automatic SHUT DOWN or COOL
DOWN procedure.
•
The FEED system will stop feeding fuel.
•
The flame will burn itself out naturally.
•
The combustion / cooling fan will continue to run until the unit cools to 54oC / 130oF.
•
When the procedure is complete the FAN and POWER LED will turn OFF.
If you forgot to grill desert, you can press the START touch pad. If the actual grill temperature is above 65oC / 150oF the grill will
continue to operate as normal. If below 65oC / 150oF it will go through the START UP mode again.
There are two extremes when it comes to keeping the grill clean. Those that must spit and shine the entire grill, in and out, after
every use, and those whom are convinced that cleaning only takes away from that barbecue flavor. One simple rule: EVERYTHING
IN MODERATION!
TIP: Be diligent in your cleaning and maintenance program. Taking care of your grill will add years of life to it and keeps it
looking great.
STARTING THE SEASON OUT RIGHT
A little time and effort at the beginning of the season will not only help extend the life of your grill but will also ensure the
reliability of it. Making you look like the "King or Queen of the grill!" Most of the cleaning techniques are below. Check with your
local dealer, they may provide a yearly maintenance program and inspection service.
STAINLESS STEEL WORKING SURFACES
ALWAYS clean dirt and dust off all stainless steel surfaces before yo begin to cook. The dirt can cook into the metal and discolor
it. These can be easily cleaned with hot soapy water and a soft cloth. A quick swipe of "stainless steel cleaner" and a soft rag will
also work, but you must be careful not to apply it to the painted surfaces or interior parts. With the popularity of stainless steel
appliances increasing, there are now many commercial products made to clean and protect stainless steel surfaces.
POWDER COAT OR PAINTED SURFACES
Powder coat or paint and maintaining these coat surfaces are not covered under warranty. This is part of general maintenance
and upkeep.
Be sure to cure your brand new LG Champion smoker for at least 30 to 40 minutes before using it for the first time. This allows the
finish to cure properly and allows for that "NEW SMOKE SMELL" and manufacturing residue to be burned off. DO NOT use oven
cleaner, abrasive cleaners or pads on the finished surfaces.
Once installed, maintaining the initial appearance of any finish is a simple matter. The smoke and grime which builds up on
surfaces from time to time contains moisture and salts which will adversely affect the powder coating and must be removed.
Finish coatings should be washed down regularly. The coating should be washed down with soapy water - use a neutral detergent
- and rinse off with clean water.
When powder coated items are installed without damage to the powder coating and they are maintained regularly, they should
be relatively permanent. The correctly applied coating, although not metallurgic ally bounded to the metal, should not crack, chip
or peel as with conventional paint films.
NOTE: If for any reason you do experience scratches, wearing, or flaking of the finish, both powder coat and paint finishes can be
touched up or repainted using high heat BBQ paint.
