To clean up the Z-grills, we suggest using a gentle soap that does not harm the grill's components. First, open up the lid and remove the grate used for cooking along with any other items. By using a shop vac, remove all the ash and then cleanse the deposited gunk. Then use lukewarm water for cleaning up the interiors. The dirt collects in the grease bucket, disposing of the contents quickly and cleaning the grill after every usage increases the longevity of the Z grills. For better operation, cleaning the grills must be cleaned after each use.
