Never use on wooden or other sur fac es that could burn.
• DO NOT use grill without charcoal ash tray in place. DO NOT attempt to remove charcoal ash tray while tray contains hot coals.
• Proper clearance of 10 feet between the grill and com bus ti ble material (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences, buildings, etc.) or

• For outdoor use only. Do not operate grill indoors or in an enclosed area.
• For household use only. Do not use this grill for other than its intended purpose.

charcoal lighting fluid and charcoal prior to the use of their product. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from grill.
• When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with grill lid open until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 min utes). This
will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in grill and may result in a flash
fire or explosion when lid is opened.
• Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.
• Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting char coal. Use of any of these or similar products could cause an explosion possibly
