How do you remove grills for cleaning?

I will tell you that, to me, I do not find the task very easy, but this is just my opinion. On the back of each individual fan grill, you will notice that on the back, you will see 4 small screws inside the back of both fan grills. I would suggest you use a flashlight to find the screws. You must unscrew all four screws to be able to take the grills apart for cleaning, and then you must screw them back in, again, to secure both grills before using the fans. I will say that this fan is a great buy, but you would have to decide if you would want to unscrew the grills for cleaning. Hope this helps you make your decision.

it is a little tricky but the front metal grill can be removed by prying at the four little plastic tabs (I have done it without breaking the tabs). best bet is to keep it in place and use a high powered vacuum w/brush to clean the front and back grill.

I use a dry wadded up paper towel while the grill is still so hot (so the grease, etc., doesn't harden) and wipe downward following the ridges wiping off all of the grease. I then take a damp wadded up paper towel and repeat until the grill is clean. I then shut the grill off. Obviously keep your finders clear of the hot surfaces.

I think you can remove from the front, it is how I installed it. Good grill, high heat.

For this type of ridged grill pan, I simply pour in some warm water while it's still fairly hot to loosen up some of the cooking reside and char. After allowing it to sit for a while, I take the special scraper or grill brush (with grooves to get in-between the ridges) and finish the cleaning job WITH NOTHING BUT WATER. Never soap. No dishwasher. No chemicals. On flat cast iron pans and pots, you can use kosher salt with half a lemon to clean the surface if it's gunked up. Once you're done cleaning any cast iron, dry it gently but thoroughly and apply a very thin film off vegetable or peanut oil onto the cooking surface. Store it that way for your next use.

teflon is not safe to eat and it should not be coming off of your grill. if it is coming off of your grill when you clean it, then you are cleaning it wrong. you have to use a super soft brush and soap and water to clean your grill. don't use anything besides a soft brush. the easiest way to clean your grill is to unplug it after cooking, wait a few minutes until it cools, then rub it down with soap and water. make sure the oil and juices don't go down any drains or they will clog your drains over time. you will eventually have to pay thousands to a plumber to fix it when it clogs completely. i clean mine outside with soap, water, and a super soft brush everytime i use it. enjoy! teflon is not safe to eat and it should not be coming off of your grill. if it is coming off of your grill when you clean it, then you are cleaning it wrong. you have to use a super soft brush and soap and water to clean your grill. don't use anything besides a soft brush. the easiest way to clean your grill is to unplug it after cooking, wait a few minutes until it cools, then rub it down with soap and water. make sure the oil and juices don't go down any drains or they will clog your drains over time. you will eventually have to pay thousands to a plumber to fix it when it clogs... » Read More teflon is not safe to eat and it should not be coming off of your grill. if it is coming off of your grill when you clean it, then you are cleaning it wrong. you have to use a super soft brush and soap and water to clean your grill. don't use anything besides a soft brush. the easiest way to clean your grill is to unplug it after cooking, wait a few minutes until it cools, then rub it down with soap and water. make sure the oil and juices don't go down any drains or they will clog your drains over time. you will eventually have to pay thousands to a plumber to fix it when it clogs completely. i clean mine outside with soap, water, and a super soft brush everytime i use it. enjoy! « Show Less

I tried to remove the grill of my small three-speed fan. There are two screws that can only be turned with a special screwdriver (9 or 10 dollars) I have cat hair stuck to the oiled parts of the motor. I will give the pressurized water method of cleaning a try. Trying to pluck it out with long craft tweezers hasn't worked for me.

Nancy It is very easy the grills are teflon coated along with the drip tray that is easily removed. I just use warm soapy water and a scrubbing sponge

Cleaning up after burgers: My method is to take a few folded paper towels and wet them and clean the grill while it's still warm. All the grease runs into the drip tray while cooking so you just want to get the hard stuff off the grids. After it cools down, I clean it again with wet paper towels and it's good to go. If you prefer, you can add some dish soap to the paper towels but remember to follow up with wet paper towels or a sponge to get all the soap off.

In the back of the grill there is a cup that catches the grease. One can easily remove the reflector plate and the grill for easy cleaning. When you remove the reflector plate then just wipe up the left over grease in the bottom of the grill. We have been using these grills for years and love them. We have 3. One at our home up north and one down at our Fl home and an extra up north in case the one that sits outside uncovered goes on the fritz. You will not be displeased with this product and food tastes and smells like it was grilled over coals unlike the George Foreman grills. Enjoy. Tim

The two handles you see on either side of the grill are attached to the coal tray. You remove the grills and then lift out the entire coal pan.

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

U clean them like a cast iron pan. Use a really (& I mean that) good grill brush to get the crud off. Thatz about it. Az far az the stainless Ive heard that other people have to clean them like stainless panz (soaking, cleanzer, & scrubby padz). Just a matter of preference I guess, but I luv cast iron! My former grill had them- never replaced & now itz goin 2 winter home in AZ. Hope this helps.

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.

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

wipe out the bits with stiff brush or other similar thing. paper towel for excess oil. the oil can stay on the grill a long time without harm to the next batch. My unit died and I threw it away. Not well made inside I guess.

I was actually wondering how to clean the fans inside as well. I can't figure out how to get the grills off. I can't even find the user manual online...not sure where box is. And I am not sure what the 800 # is to call.
