CAUTION: Putting out grease fires by
only closing the lid is not possible.
- If a grease fire develops, turn control knobs to the “ OFF” position and LP gas tank valve to “CLOSED”. 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.
- Do NOT leave grill unattended while preheating or burning off food residue on (HIGH). If grill has not been cleaned, a grease fire can occur.
WARNING: When cooking, fire extinguishing materials should be
readily accessible. In the event of an oil/grease fire, use 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

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 AND turn the control knob(s) to “ OFF”
until the grease burns out. Be careful when opening the lid as sudden flare-
ups may occur. If excessive flare-ups occur, do NOT pour water onto the
flames.

- Cook high fat content meats on (LOW) setting or indirectly.
- Ensure that your grill is on a hard, level, non-combustible surface and the grease is allowed to drain into grease receptacle.
