SAFETY AND Maintenance
• The Kong is intended for outdoor use
only.
Never use the grill indoors and don’t
leave it burning unattended. Keep children and
pets at a safe distance while the grill is in use.
• The grill may emit hot embers while in
use.
Due to the potential for carbon monoxide
poisoning, never light the grill, let it smolder, or
allow it to cool down within a confined space.
• Use caution when opening the grill after
its top and bottom vents are closed to
extinguish the fire.
A sudden rush of air
could create a flashback. To avoid this problem,
lift the lid slightly and allow any built-up steam
and heat to escape before opening completely.
• Never use the product in a car, van,
boat, or tent, and do not use it under
any awnings or gazebos.
Use the Kong
outdoors in an area where there is adequate clearance
for ventilation, and clear the space around the grill
of hanging tree limbs or flammable objects.
• Never use lighter fluid, alcohol, gasoline,
or any other flammable substance to
light your grill.
When lighting the Kong, use
a lighter that complies with EN1860-3. Use lump
charcoal to achieve the longest burn and lowest
amount of ash. When the grill is in use, lift the
lid slightly to allow air to enter safely and slowly,
thus minimizing flare-ups and backdrafts.
• Assume that the product will always
be hot
when in use, and use heat-resistant
gloves when touching any of its cooking surfaces
or assembly. Allow the Kong to cool down
completely before moving it and never move the
equipment while it is in use.
• Inspect the grill prior to each use
and
replace any damaged or worn parts as needed.
• When moving the Kong, never lift it by
the grill’s hinge.
With two people holding
the bottom and back of the unit, use one hand
to grab the bottom vent (on the inside of the grill)
and slowly lower it into the metal stand or table.
• Lubricate the moving parts inside the
hinge
at least twice yearly to ensure that the
lid’s opening and closing mechanism remains
in good condition.
The Kong is a versatile grill that can be used for a wide variety of cooking activities, including grilling, smoking,
and baking. Thanks to the Kong’s innovative heat retention properties, the grill achieves and maintains high
temperatures that are ideal for quickly cooking hamburgers, hot dogs, and other foods. Meats can be made
even more flavorful with the addition of wood chips. The Kong is also excellent for cooking meats that require
lower temperatures over a longer period of time.
Important – Please Read Before You Get Started
Before assembling your new Kong, place the entire assembly on a soft surface to avoid scratching the paint.
As you assemble the grill, leave all bolts and nuts loosely tightened until all parts are assembled. Never
over-tighten the bolts and use only moderate pressure to avoid damaging the components, hardware, or the
grill itself. Extract all packaging before assembling your grill, and read all instructions before getting started.
Please note safety warnings in the instructions.
This grill is intended for residential use only.
