grease to splatter and could result in serious burns, bodily harm

or other damage.

2. Do NOT leave grill unattended while preheating or burning off food

residue on (HIGH). If grill has not been cleaned, a grease fire can

occur.

WARNING: When cooking, fire extinguishing materials should be

readily accessible. In the event of an oil/grease fire, use type BC dry

chemical fire extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda.

Do NOT attempt to extinguish with water.

Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill and add to the unique flavor of grilling.

Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and be dangerous.

Important:

Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill.

If a grease fire occurs

, close the lid

AND

turn the control knob(s) to “ OFF” until the grease

burns out. Be careful when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur.
If excessive flare-ups occur,

do NOT

pour water onto the flames.

Minimize Flare-ups:

1.  Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
2.  Cook high fat content meats on   (LOW) setting or indirectly.
3.  Ensure that your grill is on a hard, level, non-combustible surface and the grease is

allowed to drain into grease receptacle.
