IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: For outdoor use only. Do not use near or inside a building, garage or any other
enclosed area.
WARNING: A major cause of fires is failure to maintain required clearances (Air space to
combustible materials). Keep all combustible materials at least 60 inches (152.4 cm) away
from the grill at all times. This includes combustible overhangs, and combustible flooring like a
wooden deck.
WARNING: This product is an electrical device utilizing hazardous voltage levels and must
be operated away from water. If water contacts the power cord or sensitive electronics serious
damage to the product or electrocution risk may occur. Do not operate this product in rain or
wet conditions. Do not allow this product to come in contact with water. Set this product up
more than 10’ from any large body of water (swimming pool, lake, pond, etc).
WARNING: Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas produced by burning common
cooking fuels like wood, charcoal, and propane. Follow these guidelines to prevent this
colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family, or others:
Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning; headache, dizziness, weakness,•
nausea, vomiting, sleepiness and confusion. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability
to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss of consciousness and death.
See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the•
vicinity of this appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a
cold or flu, is often detected too late.
Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.•
Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the•
elderly, grills and people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as anemia or
heart disease.
DANGER: NOT for use in or on boats or recreational vehicles.
DANGER: Do not store or use flammable liquids near the grill.
DANGER: Only use this product with a GFI protected 3 prong outlet.

GENERAL WARNINGS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO NOT• use on wood decks. Set up this grill on a hard, non-combustible smooth level surface.
In case of fire, turn the control “OFF”. Unplug the grill from the power source and allow the fire to burn•
out on its own. Do not use water to try to extinguish a fire.
Keep a fire extinguisher on hand acceptable for use with electric products. Refer to your local authority•
to determine proper size and type.
Creosote – Formation and need for removal. When wood pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar•
and other organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors
condense on relatively cooler surfaces like the exhaust vents and the glass. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on these surfaces. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. To
prevent this do a deep clean on the internal components of the grill at least twice a year. See Care and
Maintenance Section on Page 28.
Keep appliance clean. When grease or creosote has accumulated, it should be cleaned to reduce risk•
of fire. See Care and Maintenance section.
The surfaces of the grill will get very hot during regular use and can be a burn hazard. Do not leave•
unattended when children are present and keep away from combustible materials.
To avoid accidental burns wear heat resistant mitts, use long handled tools, handles, and knobs when•
operating the grill.
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or heating element in water or any other•
liquids.
Do not place power cord where it may come in contact with hot surfaces or pose a tripping hazard.•
Unplug this grill from the power source when not in use and before cleaning. Allow appliance to cool•
down before attempting to clean or service.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged power cord or plug, or after the appliance has•
malfunctioned or been damaged in any manner.
NEVER• add cooking pellets to a hot fire pot by hand. You could be seriously burned. If the hopper
runs out of pellets or your fire goes out while cooking, let the grill completely cool and follow the Initial
Lighting Instructions.
Use only cooking grade wood pellets.• NEVER use heating grade wood pellets as they are not safe for
cooking.
NEVER• use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to
start or “freshen up” a fire in this appliance. Keep all such liquids well away from the appliance when in
use.
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.”
Use only with a properly grounded GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) household circuit.•
Do not attempt to move this appliance while it is in use.•
After a period of storage, inspect the grill for abrasion, wear, cuts, or damage to the temperature•
controller and power cord.
Before covering your grill make sure that the grill has cooled completely.•
Do not operate this grill while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or while fatigued.•
Do not use this grill unless it is completely assembled, and all parts are securely fastened and•
tightened.
