fire, do NOT attempt to extinguish with water. Use type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher or smother
with dirt, sand or baking soda.
W Always open grill lid carefully and slowly as heat and steam trapped within grill can severely burn you.
W If grill has not been cleaned, a grease fire can occur that may damage the product.
W Do NOT place empty cooking vessels on the appliance while in operation.
W Use caution when placing anything on the grill while the appliance is in operation.
W Never add lighting fluid to hot or warm coals as a flashback may occur causing serious injury or
damage to property.
W Always place your grill on a hard, non-combustible level surface. An asphalt or blacktop surface may
not be acceptable for this purpose.
W Do NOT remove the ashes until they are completely and fully extinguished.
W Live hot briquettes and coals can create a fire hazard.
W Always empty the bottom bowl and grill after each use.
W Do NOT place fuel (charcoal briquettes, wood or lump charcoal) directly into bottom of grill. Place fuel
only on the charcoal pan/grid.
W Do NOT allow charcoal to rest on the walls of grill. Doing so will greatly reduce the life of the metal and
finish of your grill.
W Check to make sure the air vents are free of debris and ash before using the grill.
W Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all structures and combustible
materials.
W With a garden hose, completely wet the surface beneath and around grill to extinguish any ashes, coals
or embers that may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.
W The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair the consumer's ability to properly
assemble and/or safely operate this grill.

desired heat level.
W Keep all electrical cords away from a hot grill.
W Always use a meat thermometer to ensure food is cooked to a safe temperature.
W Never cover entire cooking area with aluminum foil. Laying the foil on the grates can restrict the
intended air flow inside the grill, create barriers to the proper flow of grease to the catch pan, which sets
the stage for lots of it to build up on the bottom tray, which in turn, builds the potential for grease fires
and flare ups.
W Use protective gloves when assembling this product.
W Do NOT force parts together as this can result in personal injury or damage to the product.
W Do NOT touch ash receiver or ash receiver handle until grill has completely cooled, unless you are
wearing protective gear.
W Do NOT touch air vent or air vent handle until grill has completely cooled, unless you are wearing
protective gear.
W Death, serious injury or damage to property may occur if the above is not followed exactly.
