other damage.
W
CAUTION: Do NOT leave grill unattended while preheating or burning
off food residue. If grill has not been cleaned, a grease fire can occur
that may damage the product.
W
WARNING: When cooking, fire extinguishing materials should be
readily accessible. In the event of an oil/grease fire, use a 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 until the grease burns out. Use caution 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 indirectly.
3. Ensure that your grill is on a hard, level, non-combustible surface.
