Care & Maintenance - Pit Boss PB2BPGG Handbuch

CHECKING THE GAS LEVEL
To check the amount of fuel in the LP gas cylinder, the grill must be in operation. Place your hand at the top of the gas cylinder
and slowly move down the side until the cylinder feels cool to the touch. This will indicate the approximate amount of gas in your
cylinder; if ¾ empty, replace with full gas cylinder.
IMPORTANT: Do not use charcoal briquettes or any flammable material with your grill. Use of such material
will void your warranty and may lead to a fire, explosion and bodily harm.
CLEANING FREQUENCY
Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and maintenance
tips to service your grill:
1. BURNER COMPONENTS
• Clean the burner whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects)
on the burner tube or in the burner portholes. After periods of storage, spiders or small insects can build nests,
webs, and lay eggs in the burner tube, obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath the appliance. If storing the grill or before an extended period of non-use, remove the burner and wrap with
aluminum foil to reduce the risk of insects entering the burner holes.
• The burner has been preset for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly
with a small yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air and gas mixture. If flames are
excessively yellow, orange or irregular, clean the oil and food deposits on the burner
surface and the burner portholes to increase airflow.
2. GRILL INTERIOR
• Remove any food or build-up from the cooking surface. Best practice is to do this while it is still warm from a
previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris on the cooking components of the grill. Clean the
inside of your grill on a consistent basis. In the event you experience a grease fire, carefully remove the food, turn
the grill off. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.
3. GRILL EXTERIOR
• Check your grease tray often, and clean out after each cool. Keep in mind the type of foods that are cooked. Failure
to keep it clean could result in build up and a fat fire. This can be hazardous and may cause damage to the unit.
• All screws and bolts should be checked on a regular basis. Tighten as needed.
• Use a grill cover to protect your grill for complete protection! A cover is your best protection against weather and
outside pollutants. When not in use or for long-term storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed, with
the gas cylinder removed (must be stored outdoors).
