ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Required Tools: (1) Phillips Screwdriver (not supplied)
(1) Non-Adjustable Wrench (supplied with hardware)

1. When assembling the grill make sure you have a flat, even working space with ample room.

2. Pay attention to sharp edges of parts while you assemble the grill. It is advisable to wear protective work gloves during the assembly.

3. Unpack the appliance and remove all the packaging as shown in Fig.1 below. Store the packaging out of reach of children and after completing the assembly, please recycle the packaging following your local guidelines.

4. Turn the Center Support Collar with Ashtray Slide Rails (A) upside down as shown in Fig.2 below so that the bottom of the ashtray slide rails are facing you and the tabs on the top of the support collar are flat on the work surface. Assemble Legs (B) by turning the legs upside down with the circular footpads located at the top. See Fig.2-4 below. Align the holes in the leg end that is now at the bottom with the holes located in the support collar. The leg should be aligned on the out-side of the support collar with the Mr. Outdoors® Cookout logo facing outwards. Place a flat washer around each phillips head bolt and then insert the phillips head bolt through the inside of either the top or bottom hole of the support collar and into the pre-welded nut on the back of the leg that is aligned with the support collar hole. Repeat this step for the remaining hole either above or below the one just assembled. Use a phillips head screwdriver to tighen bolts into the nuts which are already welded on the backsides of the legs. Do not tighten completely, but rather tighten enough to hold in place. Repeat this step for the remaining two legs. Once assembly is completed for all three legs, tighten all bolts completely.

5. Now turn the center support collar and leg assembly over so that it stands on the three legs with the round leg support pads touching the ground. Pick up Fire Bowl (C) with the inside of the bowl facing upward and place it on top of the sup-port collar. Align the holes in the bottom of the bowl with the holes located in the three flat tabs on the top of the support collar holes as shown in Fig.5. Put a flat washer on a phillips head bolt and insert the bolt up through a tab on the center support collar and into the fire bowl. Screw a hexagonal nut around the end of the protruding bolt and tighten as shown in Fig.6. Use a phillips screwdriver and the provided non-adjustable wrench to tighten. Do not overtighten to allow for all bolts in the remainder of this step to be adjusted. Repeat this step for the two remaining bolt holes in the bottom of the bowl then completely tighten all bolt assemblies.

6. Locate the two Fire Bowl Handles (D) and repeat the below steps for both handles. Align the holes on the handle with the holes located on the outside rim of the fire bowl. Put a flat washer onto phillips head bolt and insert it through the hole in the bowl handle and into the hole in the fire bowl. Screw a hexagonal head nut onto the end of this bolt to connect the handle to the fire bowl. Use a phillips head screwdriver and use the provided non-adjustable wrench to tighten as shown in Fig.7. Repeat this step for the remaining handle.

7. Insert the Small Silver Ash Tray Guard (E) into the large hole at the bottom of the fire bowl. The lip around the ashtray guard will hold it in place See Fig. 8. Next, place the Large Black Charcoal Grate(F) inside of the fire bowl. The shape of the bowl will hold this grate at the appopriate position as shown by Fig.9.

8. Align the four holes in the Rotational Crank (G) with the four holes on the flat rectangular square panel located on the side of the fire bowl as shown by Fig.10. Place a flat washer onto a phillips head bolt and screw the bolt into the hole on the rotational crank. Do not securely tighten until all four bolts and flat washers are in position. Repeat the above step for the ra-maining three bolts and flat washers. Once all four bolts and flat washers have been installed, tighten securely with a phillips head screwdriver as shown by Fig.11. See below Fig. 12 for completed Rotational Crank Installation.

9. Locate the Stainless Steel Warmer Grill Grate Rod (I) and insert this rod into the square hole sleeve opposite the rotational crank along the fire bowl rim shown in Fig.13. Insert the warmer grill grate rod into the square hole with the round head on the rod pointing up as in Fig.14. Make sure the height adjustment dimples and adjustment arm are pointed to the outside of the grill. A wing bolt must be tightened into the dimples on the outside of square hole sleeve and into one of the height adjustment holes to secure the warmer grate rod in place.

10. Screw one of the Stainless Steel Grill Grate Handles (J) onto the threaded rod located above the placement sleeve on the side of the Large Round Grill Grate (K) as shown in Fig.16. Then screw the remaining grill grate handle (J) onto the Smaller Diamond Shaped Warmer Grill Grate (L). See Fig.17.

11. Position the placement sleeve located on the side of the large round grill grate over the round head of the rotational crank as in Fig.18. The grill grate should be placed directly over the bowl. Now press firmly down to ensure that the grill grate is pushed into the correct position on the rod. Once grate is on the rotational shaft securely, a wing bolt must be screwed into the hole on the side of the placement sleeve. Make sure to screw this wing bolt in very tightly. It prevents the grill grate from overextending to prevent the grill from becoming unbalanced during use. See Fig.19.

Repeat the above steps to secure the smaller diamond shaped warmer grill grate onto the stainless steel warmer grate sup-port rod. All of the supplied wing bolts should now have been used. See Fig. 20&21.

12. Locate the Cutting Board (M). See Picture at Bottom of Page. The cutting board top should have the Mr. Outdoors® Cookout logo engraved into the cutting area. Hang the cutting board onto the fire bowl by placing the U-clips of the cutting board support arms over the edge of the fire bowl. The intended position for the cutting board is to the right of the rotational crank, between the rotational crank and the fire bowl handle. This should be on the side of the fire bowl located over the ash tray. The cutting board should sit flush with the top of the fire bowl as shown in Fig.22 Below.
13. Locate the Utensil Rack (N) and hang this on the fire bowl by hanging the notched sections on the utensil rack arms over the edge of the fire bowl. See Fig.23 at Bottom of Page. See Page 4 Package Contents Diagram for Further Refer-ence.
14. Insert the Ash Tray (O) into the ash tray slot in the center support collar with ashtray side rails as shown in Fig. 24 at the Bottom of th Page. Slide the ash tray on the slide rails. Ash tray will get extremely hot, do not attempt to dump ash tray dur-ing use. Wait to handle ash tray until all flames have been extinguished and all ashes have cooled.

LIGHTING AND OPERATING YOUR GRILL

REFER TO THE ASSEMBLY DIAGRAM ON PAGE 4 & PARTS LIST ON PAGE 5 TO REFERENCE THE PARTS LISTED

1. This is an ATTENDED appliance. Do NOT leave this grill unattended when hot or in use. Exercise the same care and caution you would with an open fire. Never use in high winds. Completely extinguish fire before leaving the grill. Keep children and pets away from the appliance at all times.
2. The ash tray (O) catches the ashes during grilling. Do not operate the grill without the built-in ash tray. Caution! The ash tray will be very hot. Do not remove the ash tray during use. It heats up and is very hot, and must be completely cooled before being removed.
3. If using fire starters, lay 2-3 fire staters on top of charcoal grate (F) in the center of (C) fire bowl. Follow all manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the fire starters. Add a maximum layer of 8 lb (3.63 kg) of charcoal to the center of the grill. Light the fire starters with a match or multipurpose lighter. Allow it to burn until the coals are half gray. With a long-handled, fire-resistant tool, spread the coals evenly on the charcoal grate (F). If a warm and cool side is desired, push charcoal to one side of the charcoal grate Never pour flammable liquids onto the lit charcoal.
   If using a chimney starter, follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the starter and the charcoal. Set on top of char-
   coal grate (F) in the center of (C) fire bowl. Stuff the bottom of the chimney starter with paper or fire starter. Let burn until flames come out of the top and the charcoal at the top is beginning to ash over. Dump on the center of charcoal grate (F). Allow it to burn until the coals are half gray. With a long-handled, fire-resistant tool, spread the coals evenly on the char-coal grate (F). If a warm and cool side is desired, push charcoal to one side of the charcoal grate. Never pour flammable liquids onto the lit charcoal.
   If using lighter fluid, stack a maximum layer of 6.6 lb (3 kg) of charcoal briquets on top of charcoal grate (F) in the center of (C) fire bowl. Saturate with lighter fluid according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Never use gasoline or kerosene.

WARNING
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN FIRE, EXPLOSION, BURN HAZARD OR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING WHICH COULD CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

IMPORTANT : When using liquid starters always check the ash tray before lighting. Fluid can collect in the ashtray and could ignite, resulting in a fire below the bowl. Remove any starting fluid from the ashtray before lighting charcoal. Using a match or multipurpose lighter, light the pyramid of coals in several places and allow it to burn until the coals are half-gray. With a long-handled, fire resistant tool, spread the coals evenly on the charcoal grate (F). If a warm and cool side is desired, push charcoal to one side of the charcoal grate. Never pour flammable liquids onto the lit charcoal.

4. Once the flames have subsided, place the round grill grate (K) directly over the fire bowl (C) and carefully add food using long-handled, heat-resistant tools. Do not swing the round grill grate (K) above the lit charcoal and add food until the flames have disappeared. The grill, charcoal and cooked food will be very hot. Any contact with the grill can cause serious burns during the operation. Wear BBQ or kitchen gloves at all times. Only use long-handled, heat-resistant barbeque tools and uten-sils. Do not wear clothes with loose sleeves. NEVER MOVE THE GRILL WHILE IT IS IN USE OR CONTAINS HOT ASHES.
5. Cutting board (M) can be used for convenience to place food on either during preparation for cooking or after cooking is completed. Make sure not to allow cooked food to come in contact with raw food.
6. Place the cooked food on the smaller diamond-shaped warmer grill grate (L) to keep it warm. The warming grill grate can be adjusted in height. Remove food and pots from the diamond-shaped warmer grill grate before adjusting the height. Loosen the wing bolt to adjust the rod up or down to the desired adjustment hole setting. When adjusting height always use the height adjustment arm of the stainless steel warmer grill grate rod (I). After setting the preferred height, tighten the wing bolt securely to hold rod in place.
7. Use the utensil rack (N) to hang the long-handled, heat-resistant tools and utensils. The maximum loading of the utensil bar must not exceed 2.2 lb (1 kg).
8. If using grill on a noncombustible surface like shell, rock, or clay that will allow you to drive stakes through it, drive
   Grill Stakes – (P), through holes on feet for added stability.

MAINTENANCE & STORAGE

1. Make sure ashes have cooled before moving. Ashes should be placed in a non-combustible container after use. Clean ashes out of grill after each use.
