Fire Safety

DANGER
Performed properly, grilling is a fast and easy way to produce a wide range of delicious food time after time after time. However, there is always the potential of the superheated oil, shortening, or fat to cause a grease fire and the instinctive responses of many people—to use water or to move the fire—can greatly worsen the fire’s damage and the risk of injury.

• ALWAYS have a safe work area and ALWAYS be prepared. ALWAYS train EVERY operator on how to most safely handle a grease fire so they are prepared if one occurs. Consult with your local fire department or police department to see if professional training is available in your area.
• NEVER use water on an oil fire.
• NEVER use wet towels or other objects on an oil fire.
• NEVER move the fire or splash the burning oil.
• DO warn everyone nearby of the danger. They should evacuate the area in any orderly way.
• DO remove ANY source of heat. Unplug ANY heating element or turn off its circuit breaker.
• DO stop providing additional air. Turn off ANY exhaust hood or fan or turn off its circuit breaker.
• DO cut off the fire’s access to oxygen IF you can do so safely. Cover the tank with its lid or any similar large metal covering, but DO NOT throw anything in a way that might cause burning oil to splash. (ONLY use a fire blanket for this purpose if it is specifically rated to safely handle grease fires. Many are not.)
• DO use your fire extinguisher IF the fire is NOT yet contained under a cover. If it is contained, allow time for it to die out but keep the extinguisher ready. If you need to use your fire extinguisher, use  it from a safe distance and be careful that its pressure does NOT cause the burning oil to splash.
• Baking soda or salt can be also used to stop small fires or nearly contained fires but NEVER apply either one in a way that might splash the burning oil.
• NEVER use flour or other fine powders. Despite their similar appearance, most of them ARE highly flammable at the oil’s temperature and will only worsen the fire.

WARNING
DO NOT use abrasive or caustic cleaners, since this might damage the anti- rust finish.

• When heated for the very first time, the charbroiler’s grates or other parts that may come into contact with flames will give off smoke, because those surfaces were coated with protective oils at the factory and may have accumulated dust during shipping. To totally get rid of the coatings, turn on the all burners to MAX the way as below and let them burn for an hour and the coatings will be gone.

General Instructions

Lighting the Pilots

1. Before attempting to light the pilots, turn off the main gas valve (not included) for 5 minutes to expel any existing gas that may have accumulated from the leakage test.
2. Make sure all knobs are in the “OFF” position.
3. Turn on the main gas valve.
4. Hold an igniter (not included) to light the pilots through the pilot light access holes.
   Note: ONLY light pilots that are needed for your cooking.

Operation

Igniting the Burners

1. Remove the igniter when the pilots are ignited.
2. Turn the burner knobs all the way to the “ON” position and wind back to where you have the desired flame intensity. The controls knob’s adjustment is stepless. Turn as needed.
3. Lay your food to be cooked on the grates and do your cooking.
   Note: Some food requires preheating the grates. Always research and do a trail run.

Finishing-up
When finished with cooking,

1. Turn the burner knobs close to the “OFF” position.
2. Turn off the main gas valve.
3.  When the goes out, turn the burner knobs to the “OFF” position.
