Your Mayer Barbecue pellet grill also needs your maintenance.
Make sure your grill is OFF and completely cooled down before carrying out any maintenance and cleaning work.
Grease:
• After longer use, grease has accumulated on the flue lining, in the grease drain tube, the V-shaped grease drain,
and the grease drain pan. Always ensure that this grease collecting area is clean and free of residues. You should
check and clean this area periodically to reduce the risk of grease fire.
• Our design of the holding basket allows you to easily replace disposable paper cups without cleaning.
• It is easier to clean accumulated grease when the grill is still warm -- not hot. Be careful not to burn yourself. Heat
protection gloves are recommended. If too much grease has accumulated in the V-shaped grease drain or if the
grease drain tube is clogged, a grease fire could develop. Therefore, it is necessary to clean this area regularly. You
can remove the grease accumulation from inside the V-shaped grease drain and grease drain tube by using a stiff,
non-metallic tool. Most of the loosened grease can be pushed down through the grease drain tube into the holding
basket. Wipe up remaining grease residue with paper towels or disposable rags.
Flue Pipe (Smoke Stack)
• Remove the chimney cap assembly, clean it with warm soap water. Scrape the creosote and grease accumulation
from inside of the vertical and horizontal sections of the flue pipe using a stiff, non-metallic tool such as a wooden
paint stir stick. Once the creosote and grease residue have been loosened from the flue pipe lining, much of it can
be cleaned with paper towels or disposable rags. Do not spray water or other liquid cleaners in the inside of the
grill.
Outside surfaces
• Use a warm soap water to remove the grease. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers or abrasive cleaning
pads on the outside grill surfaces.
• We strongly recommend using a suitable grill cover to protect your grill from weather conditions.
Internal components
To quickly clean the grates after grilling, we recommend using a long-handled cleaning brush. It takes only a minute
and the grill will be ready the next time you want to use it..
• Clean the inner temperature sensor after each time use.
Ash
Clean the ash from the interior of the grill frequently, otherwise excess ash in the firepot may cause your fire to go out,
especially in the SMOKE setting. An industrial vacuum cleaner is an excellent tool to remove the completely cooled
down ash. (WARNING: hot ashes may damage your vacuum cleaner or even ignite it)
