Flare-Free Technology™ Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your Flare-Free Cooking System is necessary to avoid blockages in your cooking grates, blockages in your front grease channel, and ensure that all grease flows freely to the front grease cup, as designed.

Follow the Flare Free Technology™ care and maintenance instructions outlined below to ensure your system continues to offer you all benefits listed above.

CLEANING FLARE-FREE, DOUBLE-STACKED COOKING GRATES

During Preheat:

• Locate the grate cleaning tool that came with your barbecue. Use the tool to push debris to the back of the burner box
• Use a barbecue brush to remove any remaining debris

Note: Using the cleaning tool to pull grease to the front of the cooking grates may clog the front grease channel and require more thorough cleaning of this part.

When build up is visible in the Top or Bottom grates, perform a more thorough cleaning.

1. When your BBQ is cooled follow steps 1 & 2 above
2. Use the grate cleaning tool to lift the top layer of grates, as shown
3. Repeat step 1 for the second layer of grates

Note: All 6 cooking grates are identical and interchangeable.

CLEANING FLARE-FREE GREASE CHANNEL

When build up is visible:

1. Use grate cleaning tool to remove both layers of cooking grates
2. Use the skinny end of the Grate Cleaning Tool to scrape debris out of the channel, into the front grease cup

For more stubborn grease build-up:

1. Remove the grease drainage channel.
2. Use a cleaning brush to remove debris.
3. Clean with mild soap and warm water.
4. Dry thoroughly.
5. Re-install.

CLEANING FLARE-FREE, FRONT GREASE CUP:

Every Use:

1. Wait for grease to cool.
2. Remove grease cup and empty into compost.
3. Wash with mild soap and warm water.
4. Dry thoroughly.
5. Re-install.
