Safe Operation
WARNING: When in use, portions of your grill get hot enough to cause severe burns.
Children and pets should never be left alone or unattended in the area where the grill is
being used. Never allow children to sit, stand or play on or around the grill.
IMPORTANT: Improper use or installation is dangerous. Because this grill produces intense
heat, the risk of accidents or potential injuries is increased. Extreme care must be taken.
Carefully follow all instructions, including the following:
„
To reduce the risk of fire, burns or other injury, read this Use and Care Guide thoroughly. Begin by ensuring
proper installation and servicing. Do not repair or replace any part of the grill yourself unless it is specifically
recommended in this Use and Care Guide. All other service must be carried out by a qualified technician.
„
Do not operate the grill under an unprotected combustible construction. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
The grill is for outdoor use only.
„
Do not use the grill in high winds.
„
The grill should never be used as a heater.
„
Only use the grill on a hard, level, non-combustible surface that is capable of safely supporting the grill’s weight.
„
Never allow children to operate the grill. Do not store items of interest to children in, on or around
the grill.
„
Do not leave the grill unattended when in use.
„
Do not move the grill while it is in use or hot.
„
When lighting the grill, always pay close attention to what you are doing.
„
Do not use lighter fluid or other accelerants to start the fire. Use only natural fire starters such as paraffin cubes.
„
Always use dry protective gloves when working with hot surfaces or cooking tools: moist or damp gloves
may cause steam burns. Never use a towel or bulky cloth in place of gloves. Do not let pot holders
touch hot portions of the grill or allow them to get near the open flame. Do not grill while wearing loose
clothing, scarves or flowing sleeves.
„
When the grill is hot, use protective gloves or tongs to adjust the air control vents. These areas can
become extremely hot and may cause severe burns.
„
Should a grease fire occur, do not attempt to extinguish with water. Close the lid until the fire is out.
„
Allow sufficient time after each use for the fire to die and ashes to cool completely before cleaning. Do not
remove ashes until the fire is fully extinguished and the grill is cool.
„
Be sure the grill is completely cool before using any aerosol cleaner on it or near it. The chemical used for
aerosol propellant could ignite in the presence of heat.
„
Do not heat unopened food containers in the grill. The build up of pressure resulting from the heat may
cause the container to burst.
„
Close all four control vents to extinguish the fire when finished cooking.
„
Do not cover the grill until it has completely cooled inside.
