SAFETY & IMPORTANT REMINDERS
WARNING! DANGER!
Failure to follow these instructions may lead to serious injury or death.
• Do not use indoors. This cooker is designed for outdoor use only.
• Do not attempt to move the unit while it is hot.
• When in use, the cooker must be placed on a solid, level, heat tolerant, non-
combustible surface, at least five feet away from buildings, out from under
coverings, and out of the general traffic path. Several non-combustible round
or square pavers can be used to protect the floor surface.
• Do not use with gasoline, alcohol, or other highly volatile fluids.
• Do not leave infants, children, or pets unattended near a hot cooker.
• When using a drip pan, use extreme caution. Spilling or tipping the pan with
grease inside while the cooker is hot will cause a fire and may cause bodily harm.
• Do not put fuel/charcoal directly into the bottom of the base. Always place
fuel/charcoal in the coal basket in the base.
• Ensure that ashes and debris have been emptied from the base and coal basket
before each use.
• Never add lighter fluid or charcoal saturated with lighter fluid (match light) to hot
or warm coals.
• Do not wear clothing with loose, flowing sleeves while lighting or using the cooker,
• Do not use in or under restrictive outdoor enclosure because dangerous carbon
monoxide fumes may accumulate.
• Never touch the cooking grates, frames, hooks, coal basket, or the cooker to
determine if they are hot. Barbecue mitts or hot pads should always be used to
protect hands while interacting with grates, hooks and frames.
• Use proper barbecue tools with long, heat-resistant handles.
• Keep the air intake at the proper elevation setting, and keep the lid closed
after inserting the food to avoid flare-ups during cooking. For high temperature
cooking do not open the lid completely. As needed and according to cooking
instructions, set the lid off center to slightly keep it open. ALWAYS CLOSE LID
WHEN DONE COOKING. Grease flare-ups may occur when the lid is not closed.
• Do not use as a burn pit; the porcelain enamel coating may not stand up to the
excessive heat and may shatter.
