IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

WE WANT YOU TO ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR GRILL AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL

IS TO ATTRACT YOUR ATTENTION TO POSSIBLE HAZARDS AS YOU ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR GRILL.

WHEN YOU SEE THE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE INFORMATION WHICH FOLLOWS!

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR GRILL.

WARNING

Only use this grill on a hard, level, non-combustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc.) capable of supporting the weight of the grill. Never use on wooden or other surfaces that could burn.

Proper clearance of 10 feet between the grill and combustible material (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences, buildings, etc.) or construction should be maintained at all times when grill is in use. Do not place grill under a roof overhang or other enclosed area.

For household use only. Do not use this grill for other than its intended purpose.

For outdoor use only. Do not operate grill indoors or in an enclosed area.

Use caution when assembling and operating your grill to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of metal parts.

We recommend the use of a Charcoal Chimney Starter to avoid the dangers associated with charcoal lighting fluid. If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, only use lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Carefully read manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on the charcoal lighting fluid and charcoal prior to the use of their product. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from grill.

When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with grill lid and dampers open until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. 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.

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

Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products could cause an explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.

Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing severe burns.

Place grill in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close supervision is necessary when grill is in use.

Do not leave grill unattended when in use.

When adding charcoal and/or wood, use extreme caution and follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual.

Never move grill when it is in use or when it contains hot coals or ashes.

Do not store or use grill near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.

When grilling, grease from meat may drip into the charcoal and cause a grease fire. If this should happen close lid and side air vents to suffocate the flame. Do not use water to extinguish grease fires.

Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. When opening the lid, keep hands, face and body a safe distance from hot steam and flame flare-ups.
