Controlling Flare-ups

result in serious burns, bodily harm or other
damage.

or burning off food residue on (HIGH). If grill
has not been cleaned, a grease fire can occur.
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 .
