CARBON MONOXIDE:
WARNING!
Follow these guidelines to prevent this
colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your
family, or others.
• Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning: headaches, dizziness, weakness,
nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion.
Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to
carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result
in loss of consciousness and death.
• See a doctor if you or others develop cold-
or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the
vicinity of this appliance. Carbon monoxide
poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for
a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase
the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother
and child during pregnancy, infants, the
elderly, smokers, and people with blood or
circulatory system problems, such as anemia
or heart disease.

CAUTION!
Grease fires are caused by not
properly maintaining the grill by failing to clean
the grease drain pan, V-shaped grease drain,
and grease drain tube on a consistent basis.
(See MAINTAINING YOUR GRILL for instructions.)
In the unlikely event of a grease fire while
cooking, turn the switch OFF (
O
) to reduce the
amount of oxygen in the cooking chamber and
keep the door closed until the fire is completely
out. Never keep the door open during a grease
fire. If the fire does not go out, lightly sprinkle
baking soda on the fire.
CAUTION! Be careful not to burn yourself.
If this does not work, carefully remove the food
from the grill and keep the door closed until the
fire is completely out.
Again, be careful not
to burn yourself.
When the grill is completely
cool, remove the porcelain-coated grill grate and
replace the foil on the grease drain pan. Clean
any grease accumulation from the V-shaped
grease drain and the grease drain tube. Replace
the grease drain pan and the porcelain-coated
grill grates in their proper positions, restart the
grill, and resume cooking.
