Cleaning a ceramic Kamado Auplex grill is essential to maintain its performance and extend its lifespan. Here’s a step-by-step guide to effectively clean your ceramic Kamado Auplex:

Materials Needed:

1. Grill brush
2. Putty knife or scraper
3. Mild dish soap
4. Warm water
5. Soft cloth or sponge
6. Baking soda (optional)
7. Vinegar (optional)

Steps:

1. 1.Allow the Grill to Cool:Ensure that the Kamado Auplex has cooled down completely before attempting to clean it. This prevents the risk of burns and makes the cleaning process safer.
2. 2.Remove Ashes: Empty the ash from the ash drawer or remove the ash grate inside the grill. Use a grill brush to sweep out any remaining ashes from the firebox.
3. 3.Scrape Off Residue: Use a putty knife or scraper to gently scrape off any stuck-on food or residue from the cooking grates and interior surfaces. Be careful not to damage the ceramic surfaces.
4. 4.Brush Grates: Use a grill brush to clean the cooking grates thoroughly. Make sure to remove any leftover food particles or debris. If the grates are stainless steel, brush in the direction of the grain.
5. 5.Clean Interior: Wipe down the interior of the Kamado Auplex with a soft cloth or sponge. If there are stubborn stains or buildup, you can create a paste using baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the stains, let it sit for a few minutes, and then scrub with a soft brush or sponge.
6. 6.Wash Exterior: Clean the exterior of the Kamado Auplex with warm, soapy water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to remove any grease or dirt. Be sure to clean handles, vents, and any other exterior surfaces.
7. 7.Clean Gasket: Inspect the gasket around the grill’s lid for any buildup or residue. Clean it with a soft cloth or sponge using mild soapy water. Avoid using abrasive materials that may damage the gasket.
8. 8.Check Ventilation: Ensure that the air vents are free from any obstructions. Use a small brush or compressed air to clean out any debris in the vent holes.
9. 9.Optional Deep Cleaning: If there are persistent stains or odors, you can do a deep clean by wiping the interior surfaces with a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar. Allow it to sit for a short time before wiping it clean.
10. 10.Reassemble: Once everything is clean and dry, reassemble the Kamado Auplex, making sure all components are in their proper places.

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your ceramic Kamado Auplex in top condition, ensuring great grilling experiences each time you use it.
