Brinkmann Gas Kettle Grill owner manual Controlling FLARE-UPS, To Minimize FLARE-UPS

CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS:

•Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a gas grill. This adds to the unique flavor of cooking on a gas grill. Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you or your grill. Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill. If this should occur, DO NOT pour water onto the flames. This can cause the grease to splatter and could result in serious burns or bodily harm. When grease fires occur close the lid and turn off the burner until the grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur.

WARNING

•DO NOT leave your grill unattended while in use.

•DO NOT move grill when in use. Lock wheels in place to stabilize grill.

•DO NOT use water to extinguish flare-ups.

•Have fire extinguisher readily accessible suitable for use with gas appliances.

TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS:

•Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.

•Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low settings or indirectly.

•Ensure that your grill is on level ground and the grease is allowed to evacuate the grill through the drain hole in the bottom

WARNING

•DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder (filled or empty) under or near the grill.

•Never store flammable liquids or spray canisters under or near the grill.

•DO NOT extinguish grease fires using water.
