Stainless Steel Surfaces
ALWAYS clean dirt and dust off all stainless-steel
surfaces before you begin to cook. The dirt can cook into
the metal and discolor it. Dirt can be easily cleaned with
hot, soapy water and a soft cloth. There are also many
commercial products made to clean and protect your
stainless-steel surfaces. If the stainless steel becomes
severely discolored, this discoloration can be removed
with stainless steel cleaner or mild oven cleaner and an
abrasive (non-metallic) scrub pad.
Savorizer®
It is recommended that you remove any buildup of food or
grease from the Savorizer® before every cook. A clean
Savorizer® further reduces flareups. Brush or scrape any
buildup off the Savorizer® with a grill brush or putty knife.
Never clean the Savorizer® while it is hot.
Grease Trays
Always be sure the grease trays are clean and free of
debris. During the warmer months empty any grease
buildup on a more frequent basis to keep it from going
rancid.
Burn Pot
Frequently check the air holes found in the burn pot for
any blockages or buildups. Using the Memphis Genie
Tool or a wire brush, scrape off any build up or blockage.
Igniter Holes
You will also want to frequently check the air holes in the
igniter tube, as is displayed in the figure below. Clean any
debris or blockage out of both areas to ensure a perfect
start.
RTD
Your grill’s ability to accurately sense temperature and adjust
its performance accordingly is what makes it unique and
valuable. The RTD, a temperature sensor located towards the
rear of the cooking area, should be wiped down with water
and mild detergent to ensure proper performance.
Grill Interior
Though BBQ pellets burn efficiently, they do create some
amount of ash. The grill’s interior walls and floor don’t need
to be spotless, but periodically clearing out accumulated ash
is a good practice.
Air Box
Because the air box is used to channel the fan-forced air into
the burn pot, there is very little maintenance to be done in this
area. Occasionally, you may either vacuum or brush out any
buildup of ash or burn debris that has fallen below the burn
pot. This is done by removing the burn pot (remove the four
Phillips head screws). Remove any accumulation of grease or
debris on the inside surfaces. When reinstalling the burn pot,
confirm the proper positioning. The burn pot should be level
from side to side and from front to back and should have a
snug but not tight fit.
Grill Cover
We recommend that you cover your Memphis Grill when not in
use. Ensure that your grill is completely off and cooled before
covering.

Periodic Grill Maintenance
This is absolutely critical to the ignition
and proper performance of the grill.
