WARNING: Always disconnect the electrical cord prior to opening the grill for any inspection, cleaning,
maintenance, or service work. Ensure the grill is completely cooled to avoid injury.
Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimal cleaning. Follow these cleaning and maintenance
tips to service your grill:
1. ASH CLEAN-OUT
•
At the bottom of the grill barrel is an ash cleanout feature, giving you easy access to
the inside of your burn pot to easily clean it as often as needed. To empty, release
the buckle latch on the ash box hook. While holding the handle, slide the ash box
away from the buckle, then pull down to remove. Once emptied, replace the ash box
by lifting it back into the bottom of the grill barrel, sliding the ash box towards the
buckle, then fastening the ash box hook with the buckle latch.
WARNING: This feature can only be operated when the grill is cooled down.
2. HOPPER ASSEMBLY
•
Running all pellets out of your auger system is recommended if your grill will be unused for an extended period
of time. This can be done by simply running your grill, on an empty hopper, until all pellets have emptied from the
auger tube.
•
Check and clean off any debris from the fan air intake vent, found on the bottom of the hopper. Once the access
panel is removed (see Electric Wire Diagram for diagram), carefully wipe off any grease build-up directly on the fan
blades. This ensures airflow is sufficient to the feed system.
PELLET CLEAN-OUT FEATURE
The hopper includes a pellet clean-out feature to allow for
easy cleaning and the ability to change out wood pellet fuel
flavors. To empty, follow these steps:
1.
Place a clean, empty pail under the clean-out door .
2. Locate the pellet clean-out door and door handle on the
back side of the hopper. Lift the door handle to unlock.
pull the door handle to open the drop-chute access plate,
allowing the pellets from the hopper to empty.
NOTE: Use a long handled brush or wet/dry vacuum
to remove excess pellets, sawdust, and debris for a
complete clean-out through the hopper screen.
3. Once empty, lift the door handle again to unlock. Push
the drop-chute access plate back into place.
4. Push the door handle down to lock closed.
3. MEAT PROBES
•
Kinks or folds in the Meat Probe wires may cause damage to the part. Wires should be rolled up in a large, loose coil.
•
Although Meat Probes are stainless steel, do not place in the dishwasher or submerge in water. Water damage to the
internal wires will cause the probe to short-out, causing false readings. If damaged, it should be replaced.
