COOKING TIPS
•Always cook with lid on.
• Timing is very important. Make sure food is prepared before lighting the
barbeque so cooking is completed while the briquets are still hot.
• The barbeque becomes hotter while cooking. Frequent checks should
be made during cooking until familiar with barbeque.
•To reduce flare-ups, use lean cuts of meat, trim excessive fat or skin, and
avoid oil base marinades.
• If flare-ups occur, reduce heat with fresh water spray bottle, and move food
away from flare-up.
• For larger cuts of meat or delicate items, use aluminum foil between food and
grill to deflect direct heat.
• Lubricate cooking grill with olive oil to keep food from sticking.
MAINTENANCE
• Clean barbeque regularly for best performance.
•Clean and lubricate the threaded center rod between uses.
• Clean all metal parts with oven cleaner per oven cleaner instructions.
CAUTION: Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners.
• Clean all other parts with mild detergent and water.
SAFETY
• Use outdoors in ventilated area, clearance from combustibles 24 inches ( 61 cm ).
• When operating barbeque, never leave unattended.
• Use glove or hot pad when handling hot barbeque.
• Always keep a fresh water spray bottle handy to reduce heat and flare-ups.
• CAUTION: Excessive flare-ups will continue if the barbeque is too hot.
To cool barbeque, spray fresh water on flare-ups until cool.

safety precautions on lighter fluid container.
