Step 1

Follow instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the Professional Grill (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. Carefully place 5 to 6 pounds of hot coals on left side of charcoal grate.

WARNING: DO NOT use grill without charcoal ash tray in place. DO NOT attempt to remove charcoal ash tray while tray contains hot coals.

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 on left side of charcoal grate.

Step 2

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 3

With grill lid and door 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.
