Safety Instructions

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Carbon Monoxide, which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Protect Children:

• Do not allow children to operate the grill.
• Keep children away from the grill during use and until the grill has cooled after you are finished.

Never Smoke During Use

Safety Guidelines:

1. When using charcoal briquettes or wood chunks, form a pyramid and douse with lighter fluid. Wait until fluid has soaked in before lighting.
2. Cap lighter fluid immediately and place at a safe distance from grill.
3. Never add lighter fluid to coals that are already hot or warm.
4. Never use gasoline, kerosene or other highly volatile fluids as a starter. They can explode.
5. As an alternative to lighter fluid, use an electric, solid or metal chimney or other starter specifically made for lighting charcoal briquettes or wood chunks.
6. Unplug and remove a hot starter with caution and be careful where you place it. Always make sure the starter is completely cool before storing.
7. Never use an electric starter in the rain and/or when standing on wet ground.
8. When using instant light briquettes, do not use lighter fluid, electric, solid, or metal chimney-style starters. Do not add more instant light briquettes once the fire has been lit. Add only regular charcoal briquettes if more are needed.
9. Once the grill is lit, do not touch briquettes or wood chunks to see if they are hot. Keep grill uncovered until ready to cook.
10. Keep vents open while cooking. Charcoal briquettes and wood chunks need oxygen to burn.
11. Allow coals to burn out completely and let ashes cool at least 48 hours before disposing.
12. Dispose of cold ashes by wrapping them in heavy-duty aluminum foil and placing them in a non-combustible container. Be sure no other combustible materials are nearby.
13. If you must dispose of ashes before the grill is completely cool, place them in heavy-duty foil and soak with water completely before disposing in a non-combustible container.
14. This grill is designed for outdoor use only. If used indoors, toxic fumes will accumulate and cause serious bodily injury or death.
15. Do not leave infants, children, or pets unattended near a hot grill.
16. Do not use your grill near any combustible materials and/or chemicals. Combustible materials include, but are not limited to, wood or treated wood decks, patios, or porches.
17. Always keep the grill in a level position.
18. Always put charcoal on top of the charcoal grate and not directly into the bottom of the bowl.
19. Never touch the cooking or charcoal grate or the grill to see if they are hot.
20. Use barbecue mitts or hot pads to protect hands while cooking or adjusting the vents.
21. Use proper barbecuing tools with long, heat-resistant handles. Lining the bowl with aluminum foil will obstruct the air flow. Instead, use a drip pan to catch drippings from meat when cooking by the indirect method.

Cleaning the Grill

4 easy steps to help you clean your grill:
