Maintenance Tips

Here are some maintenance and cleaning tips to help keep your Grilla running and operating smoothly! It may be helpful to refer to the "Parts Diagram" in the Operation Manual to locate the parts on your Grilla discussed below. Your Grilla can run efficiently for extended periods of time and different heat output levels, as long as the fuel supply is uninterrupted and timely cleaning and maintenance is performed.

Please make sure your Grilla is shut off and cold before performing any maintenance or cleaning.

Cleaning

• DO NOT use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside Grilla surfaces. Use warm soapy water to cut the grease.

Protecting Your Grilla

• Use a protective cover on your Grilla after each use. Make sure Grilla is COMPLETELY COOL before covering. A Grilla Cover is highly recommended!
• If the Grilla is stored outside, care should be taken to ensure water does not get into the Hopper. Wood pellets, when wet, expand and will jam the Auger.
• Use touch-up paint to repair any scratches.
• Grilla Covers and touch-up paint are available through your Grilla dealer.
• You should thoroughly clean and inspect your Grilla on a regular basis.
