Mak Grills EP-380-1G Owner's Manual - Be Sure Unit Is Cold!
We recommend cleaning the unit after every 20 hours of operation.
BE SURE UNIT IS COLD!
IMPORTANT!
A shop vacuum works great to suck up the ash accumulation in the
bottom of the cooking chamber. You can empty the firepot by lifting up
on the pin that holds the firepot into place. Slide the firepot to the right to
release it from the auger tube assembly. Once the firepot has been
emptied of ash, slide it back into place and secure it with the pin.
Cleaning the outside surfaces of your grill can be done using mild soap
and water.
Cleaning the grates and grease tray can be done with a wire brush.
Since they are made from stainless steel, you can use any type of brush
you want. Be careful not to brush any of the powder coated surfaces of
the grill, as this will possibly damage the surface. You may wish to place
foil over your grease tray to facilitate easier clean-up.
We recommend cleaning the thermocouple (located on the inside left
corner of the grilling area). To do this, take a damp cloth and clean the
thermocouple probe, removing any smoke, grease or food particles. Be
careful when cleaning so you don't bend it.
Keep the louvered vents clean from exhaust build-up.
This will allow the grill to properly smoke and cook. Use a soft bristle
brush or damp cloth to clean each set of the louvers located on the back
side of the barbecue. You should regularly perform this task.
At times, some of the interior surfaces of your grill will form an oxide
coating. This is a normal occurance. The oxide is easily removed using
very light gauge steel wool. Gently wipe the surfaces with the steel wool
to remove the accumulated oxide. You may then want to take a damp
cloth and wipe down the cleaned areas to remove any oxide particles.
