DANGER
!
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
This appliance can produce carbon monoxide, an odorless toxic gas.
Using it in an enclosed space can kill you. Never use this appliance in
an enclosed space, such as a camper, tent, car, or home. This appliance
is not intended for and should never be used as a heater.
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:
· Never use a barbecue grill unless all parts of the unit are firmly in place and the grill is stable.
· Never use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other volatile fluids as a starter. They can explode.
· Do not use charcoal grill as a space heater.
· Do not use aerosols or store flammable liquids or materials near this charcoal grill. Cap lighter fluid
immediately and place a safe distance from the grill.
· Instant light briquettes already have the starter blended in. Do not use lighter fluid, an electric starter,
solid, or metal chimney starters.
· Do not add more instant light briquettes once the fire has been lit. To avoid flame-ups, unpleasant
fumes and odors, add regular charcoal briquettes if needed.
· Once the barbecue grill has been lit, do not touch the charcoal briquettes/wood chunks to see if they
are hot.
· Never add lighter fluid to already hot or warm coals.
· Do not close Hood on flaming charcoal. If closed and re-opened, the flames could leap out and burn.
· Do not wear loose clothing (example: hanging shirt tails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a charcoal
grill while in use or hot.
· Do not lean your body over the charcoal grill when lighting it, while it is hot or is in use.
· Do not touch hot surfaces. Use heat resistant gloves, long-handled tongs, or barbecue mitts at all
times since the grill will become very hot.
· Do not move a charcoal grill when in use or hot.
· Do not allow children to operate or play near a charcoal grill. Keep animals and bystanders out of the
grill area. Do not leave grill unattended.
· Allow grill to cool before handling parts or cleaning.
· To avoid a fire, allow coals to burn out completely and let the ashes cool for 48 hours before dispos-
ing of them.
· Do not attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or other liquids. Have an ABC fire extinguisher
nearby.
· Always have an ABC fire extinguisher, baking soda, a bucket of sand or a garden hose ready in case
of an uncontrolled fire.

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from explosion or fire:
• Be careful when burning charcoal to avoid getting burned from flame, heat or hot coals.
• Be aware of the wind blown sparks.
• The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs could impair the consumer’s ability to properly assemble
or safely operate this appliance.
USING CHARCOAL
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from explosion or fire:
• Locate your grill an open area away from buildings, dry leaves, or brush, and at least 10 feet away from your
house or building.
• Always make sure the grill is on a level, stable surface and not tilted toward the front or back.
• Do not use the grill in a garage, breezeway, carport, porch, high traffic area, on or under any surface that can
catch fire.
• Do not use a charcoal grill indoors, on recreational vehicles, or on boats.
SELECTING A LOCATION
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from explosion or fire:
• Make certain you leave the Hood all the way open until the flames have died down.
• Should electrically operated starters be used, be sure they are properly grounded according to local codes.
Electrical cords should be placed away from walkways or traffic areas.
• Do not use lighter fluid, an electric fire starter solid, or chimney starters with instant light charcoal. This could
cause flame-ups, unpleasant fumes and odors.
• Use barbecue mitts and long handled tongs to spread out the hot charcoal.
• If there is any type of fire that threatens either personal safety or property, call the fire department.
STARTING A FIRE
• To reduce risk of burns from the hot air and steam trapped inside, open the Hood carefully when grill roasting.
• Do not grasp the Cooking Grid with your hands while it is hot. Use barbecue mitts for handling.
• If flare-ups occur, close the Vents for at least one minute to stop flare-up. Do not use water.
COOKING ON YOUR GRILL
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death:
• Allow the grill to cool completely before cleaning, transporting or storing.
• Empty and clean the Fire Bowl after each cooking session so excessive grease and ashes do not accumulate. See
Cleaning instructions on next page.
• Store your charcoal grill in a cool dry place.
• Do not store charcoal and lighter fluid indoors.
• Store out of the reach of children.
• Do not store additional charcoal and lighter fluid under or near the grill while it is hot.
• To avoid a fire or explosion, do not store charcoal or lighter fluid near a heat source.
• Always cap the lighter fluid when not in use.
To reduce the risk of injury or parts falling out during transport:
• Make sure legs are folded and locked and hood and bowl are latched securely.

STARTING A CHARCOAL FIRE IN YOUR OneFire SIZZLER GRILL
STEP 1. Use a high quality hardwood charcoal to make sure you get a good fire. Charcoal briquettes made from
maple, oak, birch or elm woods will burn clean with very little smoke and without unpleasant odors.
STEP 2. Open the hood and all the vents.
STEP 3. Remove the Cooking Grid. Line the bottom of the Bowl with heavy duty aluminum foil.
STEP 4. Place about three pounds of charcoal (35-40 briquettes) in the bottom of the grill.
STEP 5. Make a pyramid shaped stack near the front of the Bowl and pour on charcoal lighter fluid following the
instructions on the container.
Warning: Do not use lighter fluid if you are using instant light briquettes or an electric fire starter.
STEP 6. Let the lighter fluid soak in for approximately one minute.
STEP 7. Carefully light the charcoal and let it burn for 20 to 30 minutes or until it is covered with a light gray ash.
NOTE: For a hot fire in a hurry, use a fan or a bellows to create extra air movement over the charcoal. Be careful not
to blow the ashes out of the grill.
STEP 8. Use long-handled tongs to arrange the charcoal in a checkerboard pattern. Leave about one-half inch of
space between each piece of charcoal. This will help you to avoid flare-up from the meat drippings and will give you
more even heat for grilling.
COOKING ON YOUR OneFire SIZZLER GRILL
1. TILT-AWAY HOOD...Leave the hood open for “Texas Style” open air barbecuing. Close the hood for “Smoker” cook-
ing or when you want to hold in all the heat.
2. ADJUSTABLE DRAFT...Leave the hood vent open for the most heat, close it to lower the heat. It takes a few minutes
for the charcoal to react to the vent adjustment.
3. SMOKING...For true smoke flavor, use chips or chunks of wood from nut or fruit trees such as hickory, walnut,
cherry or apple. Soak the chips in water overnight (or at least 2 hours before cooking) so they will not burn so quickly
when you put them on the charcoal.
After you get the fire started and charcoal spread out, scatter the soaked chips on top of the hot charcoal using tongs.
Spray the Cooking Grid with cooking spray so food does not stick, then snap the Cooking Grid in place. CAUTION: Use
long barbecue mitts to snap in the grid. Place the meat on the grid, close the hood, and adjust the vent for the desired
heat.
4. FLARE-UPS...Close the vent for at least one minute to stop flare-ups. You do not have to use water.
5. PUTTING OUT THE CHARCOAL...Save your charcoal to use again by closing the hood and vent. The charcoal will
go out in a little while and the next time you cook, you will need to add less new charcoal.
CARE OF YOUR OneFire SIZZLER GRILL
For easier cleaning and before each time you cook... line the bottom of the fire bowl with heavy duty or a
double layer of aluminum foil. Make sure you leave all the vents uncovered.
Ashes...Remove the ashes as soon as possible after each time you cook but wait until the charcoal has cooled. Pour out
the ashes or wrap them in the aluminum foil from the bottom of the Bowl. Never put hot ashes in a garbage container.
You can save any leftover charcoal for use next time you cook. Use a garden hose to wash out accumulated grease and
ashes. Let the grill dry before closing.
Cooking grid...Use a detergent and hot water solution just as you would for any cooking equipment. A stiff brush may
be helpful in removing heavy grease deposits.
Hood and Bowl...Dampen a cloth in hot water and a detergent solution. Then, wipe both the inside and outside of the
hood and bowl. CAUTION: Be careful around sharp edges of the grill. Wipe all areas dry before storing. Note: Do not
use oven cleaner or abrasive cleaner on your grill. This may cause damage to the paint finish.
Storage...After you have cleaned your grill, store it in a clean, dry area. Leave all the vents open so moisture does not
collect inside causing rust. If you store your grill outside, close the top vent to keep the rain out.
If rust appears on your grill, clean and buff the affected area with steel wool. Touch up bare metal with a high heat
paint specified for barbeque grills. Follow paint manufacturer’s instructions for use.
