IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR GRILL
Read the following instructions carefully and be sure your appliance is properly assembled,
installed, and maintained. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious bodily injury
and/or property damage. If you have any questions concerning assembly or operation, consult
your dealer.
• Grill is for outdoor use only.
• Use caution when assembling and operating your grill to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp
edges.
• Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar
products could cause an explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
• Do not leave a lit grill unattended. Keep children and pets away from grill at all times.
• Use caution when moving grill to prevent strains.
• Keep grill at least 15 feet from any combustible material (decks, buildings, fences, trees,
bushes, etc).
• When adding charcoal and/or wood, use extreme caution.
• Never move grill when it is in use or when it contains hot coals or ashes.
• Do not place grill near flammable liquids, gases, or where flammable vapors may be present.
• Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire.
• 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 touching
the ash pan hangers.
• Do not exceed a temperature of 400°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 oven mitts to protect hands from burns. Avoid touching hot surfaces.
• 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.

completely with water. Allow coals and water to remain in metal container 24 hours prior to
disposing.
• To protect against bacteria that could cause illness, keep all meats refrigerated and thaw in
refrigerator or microwave. Keep raw meats separate from other foods, and wash everything
that comes in contact with raw meat.
