✓
Minimum clearances are maintained.

All packaging has been removed.
✓
All parts and components are properly in place and secured to the unit.

cooking grid.
➢
Always follow the safety warnings in this manual while using the grill.

Remember when moving or transporting your grill, NEVER do so by lifting on the hinge of the grill. The lower
air inlet can be used for lifting as long as gloves are used. Always use 2-3 people when moving the grill.
➢
Inspect the hinge upon unpacking. The fasteners could have come loose during shipping and might need to
be tightened.
➢
It is recommend to allow the grill to burn for 30 minutes the first time without food in the grill for an initial burn off. This is
also a good time to experiment with the grill’s temperature adjustment via the air vents to get the feel for how the grill
will operate.
➢
WARNING:
Every part of the grill will be hot during and for a period of time after
use. Use caution, keep children away from the grill, and always use gloves and
protective clothing during use. Never touch the Kamado body while in use.
