Practice Safe Grilling
Do not wear loose fitting clothing or readily flammable clothing (such as synthetics) around the grill.
Never let clothing, pot holders, or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to
any grate, burner or hot surface. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
Use only dry pot holders. Using a damp pot holder on a hot surface may cause burns from steam.
Do not use towels or bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch hot cooking
grids. Never use a sponge on a hot surface, as it may cause steam burns. Protect your hand with
an oven mitt or pot holder when opening the grill lid. Never lean over an open grill.
Use heat-proof cookware and tools specifically designed for grilling. Other types of material may
shatter with sudden temperature changes or melt from extreme heat. Use tools with insulated
handles and keep them away from the grill to avoid heat build-up.
Do not spray aerosol oil or butter or pour liquid oil into the grill. Doing so will cause a flash fire that
can burn you.
Grease is flammable. Let grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits
collect in the bottom of the grill. Clean your grill often.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the cooking grids or grill bottom. This can disrupt combustion air
flow or trap excess heat in the control area. Excess heat can melt knobs or ignitors, and increase
the chance of personal injury. The drip tray accessory may be lined with aluminum foil.
Do not heat unopened food containers - such as cans, jars, and sealed pans. Pressure build-up
may cause the container to burst.
When lighting a grill, always open the lid first and pay close attention to what you are doing. Turn
one burner knob to HI, press the ignitor button and count to five.
For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep the ports clean.
Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill
while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
