• Be careful when removing food from grill. All surfaces are HOT and may
cause burns. Use protective gloves/mitts or long, sturdy cooking tools for
protection from hot surfaces or splatter from cooking liquids.
• Do not touch HOT surfaces.
• Grill is HOT during use. To avoid burns, keep face and body away from
vents and when opening lid. Steam and hot air are expelled during use.
• When cooking above 350°F (175°C), carefully open the grill (or burp the
grill) each time you lift the grill dome to prevent flashback – a surge of
white-hot heat caused by a rush of oxygen. Partially opening the lid 2-3
inches (5-8cm) and allowing heat to escape for about 5 seconds should
prevent this.
• Air dampers are HOT while the grill is in use and during cooling. Wear
protective gloves when adjusting.
• Grill has an open flame. Keep hands, hair and face away from flame. Do
NOT lean over grill when lighting. Loose hair and clothing may catch fire.
• DO NOT obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation.
• Do not cover cooking racks with metal foil. This will trap heat and may
cause damage to the grill.
• Never leave HOT coals or ashes unattended.
• Fuel should be kept red hot for at least 30 minutes prior to use.
• Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.
• Do not remove ash drawer while ashes and charcoal are HOT.
• Use protective gloves when handling this grill or working with fire. Use
protective gloves or long, sturdy tools when adding wood or charcoal.
• Never use charcoal lighting fluid, gasoline, alcohol or other highly
volatile fluids to ignite charcoal. These fluids can explode and cause injury
or death.
• The maximum amount of charcoal for the Classic II is 6 lbs. (2.7 kg). Never
overfill charcoal grate. This can cause serious injury as well as damage to
the grill.
• Dispose of cold ashes by placing them in aluminum foil, soaking with water
and discarding in a non-combustible container.
• Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.
