WARNINGS—CARBON MONOXIDE
WARNING—Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless,
odorless gas capable of killing you. Follow these
guidelines to prevent carbon monoxide from
poisoning you, your family or others.
• Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning: dull headache, weakness,
dizziness, nausea or vomiting, shortness of
breath, confusion, blurred vision and loss of
consciousness. Carbon monoxide can build
up in the bloodstream, leading to loss of
consciousness or even death.
• Consult a doctor if anyone develops cold- or
flu-like symptoms while 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 are known
to increase the effects of carbon monoxide
poisoning. Also, alcohol consumption and drug
use may compromise the ability to recognize
symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother
and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly,
smokers, and people with blood or circulatory
system problems, such as anemia or heart
disease.
• DO NOT use the grill and pellet smoker in a
confined and/or habitable space, e.g., houses,
tents, caravans, motor homes, boats. Carbon
monoxide poisoning is potentially fatal.
WARNINGS—GENERAL
WARNING—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 what is known as
creosote. Creosote vapors condense in a relatively
cool oven flue and exhaust hood of a slow burning
fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on
the flue lining and exhaust hood. When ignited,
creosote makes an extremely hot fire. During
periodic maintenance of the grill and pellet smoker,
use creosote remover to clean the creosote and
other residues from the burn pot.
WARNING—For outdoor use only. Installation of the grill and
pellet smoker must be located so gases, including
smoke, do not enter any building. Consult with
the local fire or building codes for additional
requirements.
WARNING—DO NOT use this grill and pellet smoker unless all
parts are in place and secure. This grill and pellet
smoker must be properly assembled according to
the assembly instructions. Improper assembly may
be dangerous.
WARNING—ALL who use this appliance should exercise caution
during operation. The appliance will be hot during
preheating, cooking or heat cleaning, and should
NEVER be left unattended.
WARNING—DO NOT move this appliance during use.
WARNING—During cooking, surfaces will be hot. Keep children
and pets away at all times.
WARNING—This grill and pellet smoker is NOT intended to be
installed in or on recreational vehicles or boats.
WARNING—DO NOT use the grill and pellet smoker in inclement
weather, e.g., rain, snow, wind, etc.
WARNING—DO NOT wear clothing with long sleeves while
lighting or operating the grill and pellet smoker.
WARNING—NEVER touch the cooking grates, burn pot, pellet
igniter, ash and grease system, or grill to see if they
are hot.
WARNING—Use heat-resistant oven mitts or gloves while
cooking and handling the lid, cooking grates,
warming rack or temperature probes.
WARNING—Maximum side table load is 25 lb. DO NOT lean on or
overload the side tables.
WARNING—DO NOT move, cover or store the grill and pellet
smoker until all fuel is extinguished. The grill and
pellet smoker must be completely cool before

this manual. Misuse may cause fire, electric shock,
injury or even death.
WARNING—DO NOT use the grill and pellet smoker within 10
ft (3 m) of any body of water, e.g., pool, pond, etc.
Chlorine and other pool chemicals will corrode
metals.
WARNING—Food temperature probes are very sharp and can
become hot when in use. Use caution when handling
the probes to avoid the risk of injury. When not in use,
store the probes in the storage box.
WARNING—DO NOT add water to the pellets in an effort to make
your meats more moist. Water expands the pellets
and clogs the auger system and burn pot.
WARNING—ALWAYS start the grill and pellet smoker with the
lid open.
WARNINGS—GREASE FIRES & FLARE-UPS
WARNING—The best way to prevent grease fires and flare-ups
is through regular care and maintenance. Please
read the Care & Maintenance section in the
accompanying User’s Guide.
WARNING—NEVER operate this grill and pellet smoker without
the ash and grease system in place. ALWAYS use
the drip tray to collect the grease. Clean the drip tray
periodically. To decrease the chance of a grease fire,
ensure the ash and grease system, heat diffuser,
and all burner shields are all properly installed.
WARNING—The ash and grease system and cook box should be
inspected at least twice a year to determine when
grease and/or creosote buildup has occurred. When
grease or creosote has accumulated, it should be
removed to reduce the risk of fire.
WARNING—NEVER remove the drip tray while operating the grill
and pellet smoker.
