I'm sorry, this has never been an issue for me...maybe because of where I live, I don't get mice. I live in a populated neighborhood and my grill sits on my deck which is fairly high above the ground.

I take it out and clean it with a dry cloth. This maintains conductivity. Do this everyother time u grill.

Spray the grates with vegetable oil and fire up the grill.The grates will be fine.This is the best grill I've ever owned. Tonight,I grilled corn,onions,baby back ribs and hamburgers.I love it.

The basket is NOT for cooking and must be removed prior to using the grill. Hook the wires into the top hinges to hang on the back (outside) of the grill. It's used as a convenient storage basket to hold extra parchment grilling bags.

First, you line the top and bottom with heavy tin foil. Make sure to leave a hole at the bottom for the grease dripping to fall to the pan below. After I cook, I have a water mist sprayer. I have a grill brush and scrub the grates. The mist turns to steam and helps get the stubborn stuff off. When the tin foil gets yucky, I replace it with fresh. Especially good if you travel with the grill and don't want grease in your car. Deb

no batteries. you unscrew the cap at the end of the handle and pour in water. sometimes you have to tilt it back & forth a bit to make sure the water clears the bend in the handle, but no problem with that. when you need to clean the grill, just turn the knob on the handle and start scrubbing on a hot grill. it makes a lot of steam and facilitates easy cleaning in no time. turn the knob back to prevent water from coming out of the brush and hand it back up until your ready to use it again. I am on my second one. It can get kind of dirty after a good year and a half of use, depending. but well worth the money spent.

Any steel brush will do , I take the grill and scrub it with a Brillo pad in my sink , cleans up nicely

I put peanut butter in the hole and it catches mice 90% of the time. The other 10% they eat the peanut butter and don't get caught. One thing I do is put the trigger side next to a wall. That seems to work well.

Hi, Here's an easy fix to keep your drip pan on: Take the screws out of the bottom of the grill feet. Attach the grill brackets to the feet and use 2" screws to secure. By keeping the feet on, you can keep your drip pan. Thank you! Extreme Marine Products

Turn up heat to burn off impurities; then brush with wire brush. When grill is off and cooled, I rub olive oil on the grates. Once every 3-5 uses, i disassemble burner covers, soak them in hot soapy water and the wash them.

Once you finish cooking, unplug the grill then fold a damp paper towel and put it in the grill, it will steam clean itself. When you're done eating just wipe it down with the paper towel! Super easy cleanup. I use mine at least once a day.

Marc, I put a spoon at the lip of the grill where it would close. This holds the grill open slightly. The handles cannot withstand the heat associated with grilling.

I can't imagine how a mouse could possibly get in. If you wanted to be 100% insect safe as well, you could run a 1/2 inch of weatherstripping around the lip before sealing.

You might try an ice pick but be careful not to jab yourself. The plastic is thin and brittle so it might be hard to force an ice pick through. I don't know why the manufacturer wouldn't put vent holes in it. We have been catching mice on a fairly regular basis but on more than one occasion the food has disappeared. We figured one mouse came in and got it and another mouse came along and opened the door and both escaped.

My grill has a burner on one side an a work station on the other and it covers with room to spare. There are velcro tabs to sinch it tight on the sides, so even if your grill is smaller, you can keep it from blowing off.

I would wipe the grates with a damp paper towel while grill was still warm. The grill though is submersible in water. It was very easy to keep clean.
