Safety Information

DANGER! Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING! Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION! Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

Always read all instructions before installing and using the appliance. Keep flammable vapors and liquids away from the grill. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or 'freshen up' a fire in this appliance. Keep all such liquids well away from the appliance when in use.

For outdoor use only. The installation of the pellet grill shall be located so flue gases including smoke will not communicate or enter any building. Consult with the local fire or building codes for additional requirements.

Creosote formation and need for removal: When wood pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and other organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.

The ash and grease system and cookbox should be inspected before each cook to determine when grease and/or creosote buildup has occurred. When grease or creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of fire.

Always wait for the grill to completely cool after proper shutdown. Do not dispose of any grease or ash until they are fully cooled.

Use only WEBER SMOKEFIRE ALL NATURAL HARDWOOD PELLETS in this grill. Do not use pellet fuel labeled as having additives.

Remove pots and pans while the operating appliance is unattended, to reduce the risk of fire.

Carbon Monoxide Warning: Follow guidelines to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Symptoms include headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion. See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of this appliance. Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to pregnant women, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system problems.

Do not use the grill in a confined and/or habitable space (e.g., houses, tents, caravans, motor homes, boats) due to the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning fatality.

Never perform maintenance on this grill while it is plugged into a power source. Always unplug the grill before servicing.

Hazardous voltage is present within the grill and can shock, burn or cause death. Always unplug the grill from the power source before servicing or cleaning.

Never remove the ash and grease system while operating the grill.

Do not use charcoal briquettes, liquid fuel or lava rock with this grill.

Do not use this grill under any overhead combustible construction including ceilings and overhangs.

Exercise caution when operating your grill. It will be hot during preheating, cooking or cleaning, and should never be left unattended or moved while in use.

When finished cooking, use the main menu or push and hold the dial to run the shutdown procedure and extinguish any fuel.

Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves while cooking and handling lid, warming rack, thermometer, or temperature probes.

Maximum side table load is 40 pounds. Do not lean on or overload the side table.
