Why should the charcoal tray not be washed with water after using the mini water grill?

After grilling meat outdoors, it is easy to come across warning notices while trying to wash all grill parts with water at once like other tableware. One wonders why washing with water is prohibited exclusively for the charcoal tray among the set parts, and what the correct cleanup method is.
