IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR GRILL
Use caution when assembling and operating your grill to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges.
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.
Do not used lighter fluid on already lit coals.
Keep children & pets away from grill. Supervision is necessary and do not leave grill unattended when
in use. Use caution when moving grill to prevent strains. Keep grill at least 15 feet from any combus-
tible material (decks, buildings, fences, trees, bushes, etc).
When adding charcoal and/or wood, use extreme caution.
Never move grill when it is in use or when it contains hot coals or ashes, keep the grill in a level posi-
tion at all times while in use. ALWAYS latch lid when lid is in closed position.
Do not place grill near flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.
When opening grill, first open slightly to let a small amount of air in for a few seconds. This prevents
large amounts of oxygen from getting to suffocated coals which may cause dangerous flash back.
Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. When open-
ing the lid, keep hands, face and body safe from hot steam and flame flare-ups.
Removing excess fat before cooking will help prevent flare-ups.
Keep your grill clean to help prevent flare-ups.
Always put charcoal on top of the fire grate and not directly into the bottom of the grill.
Do not exceed a temperature of 700˚ F. Do not allow charcoal and/or wood to rest on the walls of
grill. Doing so will greatly reduce the life of the grill
Always wear oven mitts to protect hands from burns, especially when adjusting dampers. Avoid touch-
ing hot surfaces.
When opening lid, make sure it is pushed all the way back so it rests against the lid support bracket.
Use extreme caution as hood could fall back to a closed position and cause bodily injury.
Close lid and all dampers to help suffocate flame.
Always hold an open lid from the handle to prevent it from closing unexpectedly.
Never leave coals and ashes unattended. Before grill can be left unattended, coals and ashes must
be removed. Use caution to protect yourself and property. Carefully place remaining coals and ashes
in a noncombustible metal container and saturate completely with water. Allow coals and water to re-
main in metal container 24 hours prior to disposing.
To protect against bacteria that could cause illness, keep all meats refrigerated and thaw in refrigera-
tor or microwave; keep raw meats separate from other foods; wash everything that contacts raw
meats; cook thoroughly; and refrigerate leftovers immediately. Cook meats medium to well done.
