GENERAL WARNINGS

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

•  DO NOT 

use on wood decks. Set up this grill on a hard, non-combustible smooth level surface.

•  In case of fire, turn the control “OFF” and allow the fire to burn out on its own. Do not unplug the grill or 

use water to try to extinguish the fire. If you feel the fire is beyond your control call the fire department.

•  Keep a fire extinguisher on hand acceptable for use with electric products. Refer to your local authority 

to determine proper size and type.

•  Creosote – Formation and need for removal. When wood pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar 

and other organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors 
condense on relatively cooler surfaces like the exhaust vents and the glass. As a result, creosote 
residue accumulates on these surfaces. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. To 
prevent this do a deep clean on the internal components of the grill at least twice a year. See Care and 
Maintenance Section on Page 19. 

•  Keep appliance clean. When grease or creosote has accumulated, it should be cleaned to reduce risk 

of fire. See Care and Maintenance section.

•  The surfaces of the grill will get very hot during regular use and can be a burn hazard. Do not leave 

unattended when children are present and keep away from combustible materials. 

•  To avoid accidental burns wear heat resistant mitts, use long handled tools, handles, and knobs when 

operating the grill.

•  To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or heating element in water or any other 

liquids.

•  Do not place power cord where it may come in contact with hot surfaces or pose a tripping hazard.
•  Unplug this grill from the power source when not in use and before cleaning. Allow appliance to cool 

down before attempting to clean or service.

•  Do not operate any appliance with a damaged power cord or plug, or after the appliance has 

malfunctioned or been damaged in any manner.

•  NEVER

 add cooking pellets to a hot fire pot by hand. You could be seriously burned. If the hopper 

runs out of pellets or your fire goes out while cooking, let the grill completely cool and follow the Initial 
Lighting Instructions.

•  Use only cooking grade wood pellets. 

NEVER 

use heating grade wood pellets as they are not safe for 

cooking.

•  NEVER

 use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to 

start or “freshen up” a fire in this appliance. Keep all such liquids well away from the appliance when in 
use.

•  Outdoor extension cords must be used with outdoor use products and are marked with suffix “W” and 

with the statement “Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliances.”

•  Use only with a properly grounded GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) household circuit.
•  Do not attempt to move this appliance while it is in use.
•  After a period of storage, inspect the grill for abrasion, wear, cuts, or damage to the temperature 

controller and power cord.

•  Before covering your grill make sure that the grill has cooled completely.
•  Do not operate this grill while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or while fatigued.
•  Do not use this grill unless it is completely assembled, and all parts are securely fastened and 

tightened.
