IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

(Continued)

• In the event of an oil or grease fire do not attempt to extinguish with water. Immediately call the fire department. A type BC or ABC fire extinguisher may, in some circumstances, contain the fire.
• Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire.
• Do not lean over an open grill and be mindful of hands/fingers near the edge of the cooking area.
• When opening the lid, keep hands, face, and body safe from hot steam and flame flare-ups.
• WARNING: To avoid injuries, gloves or other protective articles should be used when operating the grill.
• Do not exceed a temperature of 700° F.
• Do not allow charcoal and/or wood to rest on the walls of grill. Doing so will greatly reduce the life of the grill.
• Always wear grill gloves to protect hands from burns. Avoid touching hot surfaces.
• CAUTION: Exposed metal dampers on air vents and/or metal handles are hot during usage. Again, always wear grill gloves when adjusting air flow to protect hands from burns.
• Do not alter this grill in any manner.
• When opening lid, make sure it is pushed all the way back so it rests against the lid support brackets. Use extreme caution as hood could fall back to a closed position and cause bodily injury.
• Close lid and all dampers to help suffocate flame.
• Always hold an open lid from the handle to prevent it from closing unexpectedly.
• Never leave coals and ashes unattended. Before grill can be left unattended, coals and ashes must be removed. Use caution to protect yourself and property.
• Carefully place remaining coals and ashes in a non-combustible metal container and saturate completely with water. Allow coals and water to remain in a metal container for 24 hours prior to disposing.

• Hopper heat shield, hopper lid and latch, hopper ash door and latch are HOT while the grill is in use and during cooling. Wear protective gloves when working with and around these components.
• Grill has an open flame. Keep hands, hair, and face away from flame. Do NOT lean over grill when lighting.Loose hair and clothing may catch fire.
• Do not cover cooking grates with metal foil. This will trap heat and may cause damage to the grill.
• Never overfill charcoal hopper. This can cause serious injury as well as damage to the grill.
• When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following: 1) Do not plug in the appliance until fully assembled and ready for use. 2) Use only
• approved grounded electrical outlet. 3) Do not use during an electrical storm. 4) Do not expose appliance to rain or water at any time.
• To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plug or control panel in water or other liquid.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Char-Griller® Customer Service for assistance at 1-912-638-4724.
• Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.• If an extension cord is used: 1) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of
• the appliance; and 2) the cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.
• The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• Outdoor extension cords must be used with outdoor use products and are marked with suffix “W” and with the statement “Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliances.”
• CAUTION – To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep extension cord connection dry and off the ground.
