How should I clean my Princess Hybrid Bucket Barbecue after grilling?

[JosieAnn]

Keeping your Princess Hybrid Bucket Barbecue in top shape is easy with proper cleaning. Always start by unplugging the barbecue and letting it cool completely. Never submerge the electric heating element, control, or cord in water; instead, wipe them with a damp cloth. The grill net should be hand-washed with dish soap and water. Clean the bowl thoroughly with a soft cloth and soapy water, ensuring it's dry before storing. Remove ashes after each use only when they are cold. Avoid abrasive cleaners, metal brushes, and paint thinner to prevent damage. Remember that the Princess Hybrid Bucket Barbecue and its parts are not dishwasher-safe. If you notice paint peeling inside, it's likely carbon buildup from cooking vapors; use a grill brush to remove it. Finally, store the heating element and power cord indoors to protect them.
