Controlling Flare-ups:
CAUTION: Do NOT use water on a grease fire. This can cause the
grease to splatter and could result in serious burns, bodily harm or
other damage.
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.
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 fl vor of grilling.
Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and be dangerous.
Important: Excessive fla e-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill.
If a grease fi e occurs, close the lid until the grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid
as sudden fla e-ups may occur.
If excessive fla e-ups occur, do NOT pour water onto the flame .
