• Grill is for use outdoors and in well-ventilated areas, only.
• Use caution when assembling and operating your grill to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges.
•Do not use lighter uid, gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other accelerants to light 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.
• Do not use grill in high winds.
• Use caution when moving grill to prevent strains.
• The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair the operator’s ability to
properly assemble or safely operate the grill.
•Use grill at least 3 ft. from any wall or surface. Maintain 10 ft. clearance to objects that can catch re
or sources of ignition such as pilot lights on water heaters, live electrical appliances, 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 use grill for indoor cooking or heating. TOXIC fumes can accumulate and
cause asphyxiation.
• Do not use in or on boats or recreational vehicles.
•Make sure to empty grease can after every use once completely cooled.
•Do not place grill near ammable liquids, gases, or where ammable vapors may be present.
•When cooking with oil/grease, do not allow the oil/grease to exceed 350°F (177°C). Do not store or
use extra cooking oil in the vicinity of this or any other grill.
•Use caution since ames can are-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with re.

•Do not lean over an open grill and be mindful of hands/ngers near the edge of the cooking area.
•When opening the lid, keep hands, face, and body safe from hot steam and ame are-ups.
•WARNING: To avoid injuries, gloves or other protective articles should be used when operating the grill.
•Do not exceed a temperature of 500°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 ow 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 ame.
• 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 noncombustible metal container and saturate
completely with water. Allow coals and water to remain in a metal container for 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.
•Cook meat thoroughly, and refrigerate leftovers immediately.
• Use a calibrated food thermometer and the USDA guidelines to ensure that meat, poultry, seafood,
and other cooked foods reach a safe minimum internal temperature.
•Always have a re extinguisher near at all times. Maintain and check your re extinguisher regularly.
THESE WARNINGS ALSO APPLY TO THE SIDE FIRE BOX.
