Operating Instructions

CAUTION: Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal, charcoal/wood mixture, lump charcoal or cooking wood.

First Use

1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the grill.
2. Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this grill for the first time, by operating the grill for at least 15 minutes with the lid closed. This will “heat clean” the internal parts and dissipate odors.

Lighting Instructions

CAUTION: Keep outdoor cooking appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

CAUTION: Check to make sure the air vents are free of debris and ash before using the grill.

CAUTION: Attempting to light the grill with the lid closed may cause an explosion.

CAUTION: When using a liquid starter, always check bottom bowl before lighting. Fluid can collect in the bottom bowl and could ignite, resulting in a fire.

CAUTION: Never add lighting fluid to hot or warm coals as flashback may occur, causing serious injury or damage to property.

1. Open lid and vents.
2. Make sure bottom bowl is empty.
3. Remove cooking grid.
4. Arrange charcoal briquettes or other fuel on the charcoal grid to the “Fill Line” (Figure 1).
5. Light per instructions on fuel package.
6. Allow fuel time to ash into glowing coals before cooking.

Turning Off

1. Allow charcoal to completely extinguish itself.
   WARNING : Do NOT use water to extinguish. This can be dangerous and cause damage.

2. Dispose of the ashes in a proper location.

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 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

Cleaning and Care

CAUTION:

1.  All cleaning and maintenance should be done when grill is cool and with the ashes properly disposed of.
2. Do NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish.

Notices

1. This grill should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected on a regular basis.
2. Abrasive cleaners will damage this product.
3. Never use oven cleaner to clean any part of grill.
