To Use:
WARNING:
•To avoid burns, always wear protective oven mitts or non-flammable,
heat-resistant gloves while using the Grill.
•Do not touch hot surfaces.
•Always use heat-resistant utensils with long handles when using the Grill.
1. Place charcoal in a pile on the Charcoal Grid.
2. If using charcoal lighter fluid, add it now before lighting the charcoal.
WARNING: Never use charcoal lighter fluid on a fire or on embers.
3. Carefully light the charcoal. Flames can rise quickly; keep hair, clothes,
face and body away from the flame.
4. When the charcoal turns white around the edges, it is ready for cooking.
Use a heat-resistant utensil with a long handle to spread the charcoal
over the Charcoal Grid. Add the Cooking Grid using its handles.
5. Place the food to be cooked onto the Cooking Grid.
6. Add or remove the Lid as desired. The Lid Hanger is for hooking the Lid
onto the Bowl when not using the Lid.
7. Use the Vent to adjust the heat of the coals. Opening the Vent allows
more oxygen to get to the coals, causing them to burn hotter and faster.
Closing the Vent limits the oxygen to the coals and lowers their
temperature, causing them to burn longer, but not as hot.
8. When finish cooking, remove the food with your utensil. Allow the Grill
to cool completely and then discard the ashes.
9. Clean as described below after every five uses.

minutes in warm water. For the assembled Bowl, pour warm water
into it and let it soak. Then use the scrubbing side of a sponge.
−If needed, a heavy-duty scrubbing pad can be used on the Grids only.
