How on earth do I get the grill pan out of the housing? I can't seem to get it out for some reason.

Make sure you disconnect the plug from the wall and pull it out from the grill pan. Then just lift up and it will come out. Don't submerse the grill in water; just wash it carefully so as not to get the electrical parts wet.

You just need to pull up on it and it will come right out. It snaps into place. I don't take my grill pan out to wash it because the plug is out of it and there is nothing that will be harmed when the pan gets wet.

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 haven't used it since last fall but I believe the grill rack, griddle etc... sits on a deep pan that the grease goes into so you can then dump it into the garbage, wipe it with paper towels then wash it up with your other dishes. Cleans up nice.

I've had 2 pair of them. If they're outside, you have to caulk the seam all the way around the edge or they will collect water and corrode the electronics inside. If they're facing downward, put a screw through the grill into the frame. The glue that holds the grill on will let go after a few months and the grill will come loose and hang open if you don't.

OK. here is a simple solution which I have known for so long. There is a tray underneath the grill. Pour water there before cooking. Then, you will not have a much spatter problem. Be careful though. Sometimes, too much oil gathers in the tray that it might spill over the tray (but it never happened so far). The amount the tray can hold is limited. Just pay attention while cooking the oily meats.

There is a small removable drip pan on the underneath side of the grill. It is almost useless due to its small size.

I used an old steak knife to saw down the part of the old grill that did not come off cleanly, then I used a cordless drill to assist in pushing the remaining peg through to the opening. These worked very well for me. Good luck Grace

If you look over the manual you will see that you need to turn the grill base to dismantle it. You need to use some force to get it to come apart.I had the same problem. Also if you call the Coleman 800 number they are very helpful.

do what joseph said, bleed it out and then reattach it, BUT make sure the grill is off and when you turn on the propane at the tank let it sit for a solid couple minutes for the pressure to equalize properly or when you turn on the grill you wont have proper flow

get some barkeepers friend. It will remove it right away. I use it on my all clad pans, and it doesn't disappoint

I use a butter knife and wedge it under the edge of the lid and then try sliding it across so that I can pry it off. Sometimes it's easier to pry open when it's not overfilled. Good luck! Hope this helps.

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.

I have never found a way to easily disassemble this unit in front. It was obviously made to keep the consumer out. Of course, not being able to properly clean the fan will shorten the life of the unit... gee, I wonder if Holmes thought of that... duh. Anyway, the best you can do is hold a vacuum cleaner hose up against the grill and suck out as much dirt as possible - which is what we do with them occasionally. Good luck with it.

Sounds like you need an adaptor for your grill... Check Home Depot or Lowes.

tighten the panning knob which locks the pan by the bottom. Then rotate the head anti-clockwise with a quick jolt when you start. Try this a few times. It should hopefully help you remove the head. It's worked for me several times. Good luck!

I had that same problem, i had to you a flat head screwdriver, if not it would have stayed stuck in the vent. When you use the flathead make sure you push it in also due to the hooks that hold on to the vent.

I got the same issue at first. I managed to open it up this way: Hold the bottom plastic/clear at the point (the spout) with one finger in one hand, and your other hand is holding the the stainless/metal part, then pull the clear plastic part away from the stainless /metal part. Good luck. Hope it works for you.
