Operating Instructions

PLACE THE GRILL OUTDOORS ON A HARD, LEVEL, NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE

AWAY FROM ROOF OVERHANG OR ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. NEVER USE ON WOODEN OR OTHER

SURFACES THAT COULD BURN. PLACE THE GRILL AWAY FROM OPEN WINDOWS OR DOORS TO PREVENT SMOKE

FROM ENTERING YOUR HOUSE. IN WINDY WEATHER, PLACE THE GRILL IN AN OUTDOOR AREA THAT IS

PROTECTED FROM THE WIND.

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR GRILL.

Step 1

With charcoal tray adjusters attached to the charcoal tray, place charcoal grate on charcoal tray and lower inside cooking chamber.

Step 2

Follow instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the Grill King (see “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual).

WARNING: Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.

If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the use of their product. Open the side air vents approximately halfway. Carefully place 5 to 6 pounds of hot coals for Grill King Deluxe (2 to 3 pounds for Grill King) on left side of charcoal grate.

WARNING: Keep hot coals away from the side air vent to prevent coals from falling out.

NOTE: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not touch the walls of grill or lay inside of cooking chamber under charcoal tray.

IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 5

If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use charcoal lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other flammable material for lighting charcoal. Follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the use of their product. Place 5 to 6 pounds of charcoal for Grill King Deluxe (2 to 3 pounds for Grill King) on left side of charcoal grate.

Step 3

Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lid open wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from the grill.

Step 4

Open the side air vents approximately half way. With grill lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to closing grill lid.

WARNING: Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in grill and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when lid is opened.
