Safety Nomenclature

2.1 General
Safety of the user and bystanders is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new product.
Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety features as possible. However, every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling the grill.
Most accidents are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs. As you assemble, use, or maintain the grill, you must be alert to potential hazards. You should also have the necessary training, skills, and tools to perform any assembly or maintenance procedures.
Improper operation and maintenance of this grill could result in a dangerous situation that could cause injury or death.

WARNING
Do not assemble, operate, or maintain the grill until you read and understand the information contained in this Owner’s Guide.
**** Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this Owner’s Guide and on the grill.
If these hazard warnings are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other persons.
Carolina Cooker® cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard.
The warnings in this Owner’s Guide and on the grill are, therefore, not all- inclusive. If a method of assembly, use, or maintenance not specifically recommended by us is used, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and for others. You should also ensure that the grill will not be damaged or be made unsafe by the methods that you choose.

Multiple Dwelling Locations: Check with management or the owner for special requirements or fire codes of using a charcoal grill at your location.
3.2 Flashback
Flashback occurs when a large amount of oxygen (fresh air) rushes into the grill body containing an open flame or even smoldering coals. This rush of oxygen can explosively ignite causing a dangerous flashback or flame surges.
Slowly open the lid of the grill especially when the temperature is above 300˚F/150˚C. Never quickly open the lid of a hot grill which can result in flash- backs, flame surges, or back drafts.
When opening the lid, keep hands, face, and body safe from hot air and flame flare-ups.
To prevent a flashback:

1. Slowly introduce oxygen (fresh air) into the cooking chamber:
   a. Slowly raise the lid an inch and wait approximately 3 seconds to allow air into the cooking chamber. This helps prevent any flame surge that tries to escape as the lid is opened. or
   b. Open vents and wait approximately 5 seconds to make sure your fire is getting enough oxygen (fresh air).

2. Slowly continue to raise the lid until it is fully open.

6.1.2 While Cooking
WARNING
Never leave the grill unattended. Be aware of sparks and embers when using the grill on a wooden deck.
This grill gets dangerously hot while in use. Use well-insulated gloves or oven mitts for protection from hot surfaces.
The gases exiting the vent are very hot and can cause burns or singe your hair. Your eyes are especially vulnerable to the hot gases.
Avoid touching hot surfaces.

• Avoid touching the grill to prevent contact with hot surfaces.
• Always use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves to protect hands from burns, especially when adjusting air vents.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not move the grill once the charcoal has been lit or if it contains hot coals or ashes.
Before moving the grill, allow it to cool to 115˚F (45˚C). Once cooled, get assistance to move it.
Never use glassware or plastic cookware or other plastic utensils on the grill.
Do not set hot items on the front or side shelf.

6.1.3 After Cooking

CAUTION
The grill will remain at temperatures capable of causing severe burns and injuries long after cooking has ended.
Do not leave the grill unattended until the temperature of the grill falls below 115˚F (45˚C).

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Wait until the ashes are completely cooled before trying to remove them or before cleaning your grill.
Never leave coals and ashes unattended. Before grill can be left unattended, coals and ashes must be removed.
Properly dispose of cold ashes according to local or state rules and laws.
Wait for the grill to be completely cooled before placing a cover on the grill. Never place a cover on the grill that is hot or even just warm.
Never place burning coals, or even warm ash in plastic, paper, or wooden containers.

Cleaning

7.1 General Information

1. Clean all exterior surfaces of the grill after each use.
   a. Use a damp cloth with warm water and a mild soap or detergent.
   b. Rinse thoroughly; then dry with a soft, dry cloth.

2. Clean the cooking grates, with a stiff wire brush, after each use and remove surface dust or grease before the next use.

3. Clean the front and side shelves with mild detergent.

7.2 Removing Ashes
Remove the ashes that have collected at the bottom of the grill after each use. Empty the ashes only after the grill has cooled.
Do not allow the ash to build up as this will hinder the air flow.

1. It’s important to wait several hours after the fire is completely extinguished before emptying the ash drawer to be sure they are not hot.
2. Follow all local and state regulations for the disposal of the ashes.
3. Charcoal is porous and holds moisture, so do not leave charcoal in your grill when it’s not in use, especially outside. Leaving charcoal in the bottom fire bowl and the ash dump pan can reduce the life of your grill.

7.3 Annual Cleaning

1. Once or twice a year, thoroughly clean the inside of the grill. Remove the internal components and remove any food buildup that has collected.
2. Scoop and vacuum debris from the bottom of the grill.
