• 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. 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.
• Always use appliance in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal
fire codes.
• Disposal of Ashes - Ashes should be placed in a metal container with
a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a
noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are dispersed of by burial in
soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
• Do not store appliance with HOT ashes inside appliance. Store only when
all surfaces are cold.
• When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed including the following: 1) Do not plug in the appliance
until fully assembled and ready for use. 2) Use only approved grounded
electrical outlet. 3) Do not use during an electrical storm. 4) Do not
expose appliance to rain or water at anytime.
