COOKING GRIDS
When new, wash thoroughly with warm soapy water, place back in the smoker and PREHEAT the grill for 20 to 30 minutes. After
the completion of grilling, open the lid and with a long handle grill cleaning brush give the grids a thorough cleaning. If you do
not have a cleaning brush use long handle tongs and a balled up piece of aluminum foil wrap. Next turn the grill to "High" or
"Preheat" temperature until only an occasional wisp of smoke is seen (about 5 minutes). This will remove most of the material
that builds up on the cooking grids.
The next time you grill allow the smoker to PREHEAT for 10 to 15 minutes to complete the cleaning cycle. Give the grids a quick
wipe down with your cleaning brush. Applying a thin coating of cooking oil on the grids before placing your meat on them will
also decrease your cleaning time, as well as allowing to move your food easily without sticking and tearing.
THE BIG COVER-UP
Your finish will help in protecting your grill from the detrimental effects of weather and outside pollutants. As with any outdoor
product, however, a cover is only as good as the maintenance given to the grill. Following the recommended maintenance included
in this manual will add greatly to the life of your grill.
Helpful Hints
DO's
• Keep your LG grill cover clean. This is your best protection against mildew which will form on any dirt or foreign material
allowed to accumulate on top or bottom of the fabric. Use a cleaner or product that will not only clean but will also protect.
• Have any small tears or punctures repaired promptly.
• Keep away from pets.
• Keep all shrubs and vines away from your grill cover as many plants contain acids, which harm fabrics.
DO NOT
• Cover your grill while the grill is still hot.
• Store anything on the top of your grill cover.
• Permit leaves, twigs or other organic debris to remain on the cover for long periods of time.
• Use high-pressure hoses or steam to clean.
• Use wire or stuff brushes, harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners or chlorine on your grill cover.
ARCHED FLAME BROILER
This requires very little work, because of its construction and type of material used. From time to time you may need to brush off
any burnt leftover, such as melted cheese or that extra thick BBQ sauce. The best time to clean and inspect is when you perform
the initial set-up procedures after every 1 to 3 uses.
The grease channels do need to be cleaned from time to time to eliminate build-up, allow the grease to flow freely to the grease
catch area and to allow for easy movement of the flame broiler slide top.
The main flame broiler comes with notches on either end. These notches are used to hook the flame broiler to the mounting
bracket. This does allow you to place the flame broiler in backwards, so that you can do a burn off of any build up, making clean
up easier.
THE COOKING CHAMBER
To start the season fresh, then maybe 2 to 3 times during the grilling season, it is recommended to remove the arched flame
broiler and burn grate. Then give the entire interior a good cleaning, de-greasing and vacuum, to remove everything that may
have accumulated.
• Ensure that the grill is COMPLETELY COLD before using your shop vacuum or before scooping out the disposing of the ashes.
• You may want to use soapy hot water, a kitchen de-greaser, etc. to clean the entire inside of the barrel. This does reduce
grease build-up and the possibilities of flare-ups.
• Check and clean any debris build-up within the grease spout.
