Danger
Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur
causing severe burns.
Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to closing grill lid
(approximately 20 minutes). Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting
fluid in grill and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when lid is opened.
AFTER-USE SAFETY
Always allow grill and all components to cool completely before handling.
Never leave coals and ashes in grill unattended. Make sure coals and ashes are
completely extinguished before removing.
Before grill can be left unattended, remaining coals and ashes must be removed from
grill. Use caution to protect yourself and property. Place remaining coals and ashes in
a non-combustible metal container and completely saturate with water. Allow coals
and water to remain in metal container 24 hours prior to disposing.
Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all
structures and combustible materials.
With a garden hose, completely wet surface beneath and around the grill to extinguish
any ashes, coals or embers which may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning
process.
Cover and store grill in a protected area away from children and pets.
