on the unit. Do not try to smother the fire. We recommend that you
keep a class ABC approved fire extinguisher on site. If an uncon -
trolled fire does occur, call your Fire Department.
3. Do not transport or move your appliance while in use or while the
appliance is hot. Ensure the fire is completely out and that the appli -
ance has cooled completely before moving.
4. Keep electrical supply cords and the fuel away from heated sur-
faces.
5. After periods of storage, or non-use, be sure to check the grill for
obstructions, the hopper for foreign objects, and any air blockage
around the fan intake. Clean before use. Regular care and main -
tenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your appliance. If the
appliance is stored outside during the rain or periods of high hu-
midity, care should be taken to i nsure that water does not get
into the hopper. Wood pellets will expand greatly when allowed
to get wet or when exposed to high humidity. Wet Pellets will
decompose and may jam the feed system. Always disconnect
the power, before performing any service or maintenance. The
grilling guide, supplied with your grill, will give you tips on proper
cleaning and maintenance of your appliance. We recommend
that pellet fuel be removed from the grill before long term stor -
age.
6. It is recommended to use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or
gloves when operating the appliance. Please visit Charbroil.
com for a good selection of barbecue mitts. Do not use acces -
sories not specified for use with this appliance. Do not put an
appliance cover or anything flammable in the storage space
area under the appliance. Remove pots and pans while the op-
erating appliance is unattended, to reduce the risk of fire.
7. To prevent fingers, clothing or other objects from coming in con -
tact with the auger feed system, the appliance is equipped with
a metal safety screen, mounted to the interior of the hopper.
This screen must not be removed unless directed by Customer
Service or an authorized dealer, and never when the appliance
is plugged in.
8. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including chil -
dren) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack

sponsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure
they do not play with the appliance.
9. Parts of the appliance may be very hot, and serious injury may

warning could lead to a fire hazard and bodily harm and will void
your warranty.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container (do not use your
plastic storage bucket) 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, until final dispos -
al. When ashes are disposed by burial in soil, or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in a closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
WOOD PELLET FUEL
This pellet cooking appliance is designed and approved for pel-
letized, all natural, wood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned
in this appliance will void the warranty and safety listing.
Do not
use fuel with additives.
Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline,
lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your
appliance.
Use only wood pellet fuel specified by the manufacturer. Do
not use pellet fuel labeled as having additives. Oklahoma Joe’s
recommends the Oklahoma Joe’s Premium Food grade brand
of pellet fuel. These pellets are rated at 8,000 BTU’s per lb.
(1.98 kJ/kg.) The ash content of these pellets are below 0.5%
NOTE: Always store wood pellets in a dry area. Avoid any contact
with moisture. Exposure to moisture will result in lower heat output
or cause the pellets to swell and break apart. Always use a mois -
ture proof, resealable bucket for proper storage. Wet pellet fuel will
clog your grill.
