SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID INJURY
•Do not use this grill under any overhead combustible
construction including ceilings or overhangs.
•WARNING! Keep children and pets away. Children
should not be left alone or unattended in an area
where the grill is being used. Do not allow them to sit,
stand or play in or around the grill at any time.
•This appliance can be used by children aged from 8
years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe
way and understand the hazards involved. Children
shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by children without

•If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
a special cord or assembly available from the
manufacturer or its service agent.
•Do not store items of interest to children around or
below the grill.
•For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose
fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn
while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are
highly flammable and should not be worn while
cooking.
•Always use heat-resistant gloves or mitts when
handling particularly hot components.
•When using the grill, do not touch the warming rack,
burner grate or immediate surroundings as these
areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may cause steam burns. Do not use a
towel or bulky cloth in place or potholders. Do not
allow potholders to touch hot portions of the grill
rack.
•Only certain types of glass, heat -proof glass ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for
grill use. These materials may break with sudden
temperature changes. Use only on low or medium
heat settings in accordance with the manufacturer’s
guidelines.
•Do not heat unopened food containers. A build-up of
pressure may cause the containers to burst.
•Never lean over an open grill.
•Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before
attempting to handle it. Clean out the grease tray and
grease bucket often to avoid build-up.
•Do not use water to control flare ups or extinguish the
fire. Turn off the grill, unplug the power cord, and wait
for the grill to cool down.
•Always have the grease system properly installed while
operating this grill. Never operate without a grease
bucket in place under the side shelf.
•Dispose of ashes after the grill has completely cooled
following a proper shutdown. Wait until grease and
ash are completely cooled before disposing.
•Wait until the fuel is extinguished and the grill is
completely cool before moving, covering, or storing
the grill.
•Do not use aluminum foil to line the grill racks or grill
bottom. This can severely upset combustion air flow
or trap excessive heat in the control area.
•Clean the grill with caution. To avoid steam burns, do
not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while
it is hot. Some cleaners produce toxic fumes or can
ignite if applied to a hot surface.
•Turn off grill controls and make certain the grill is cool
before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around
the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying
action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause
metal parts to corrode.
•Keep the area surrounding the grill free from
combustible materials including, fluids, trash, and
vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do
not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air.
•To reduce the risk of fire, remove pots and pans while
the operating appliance is unattended.
•Do not use accessories that are not specified for this
appliance.
•The use of alcohol, prescription, or non-prescription
drugs may impair the consumer’s ability to properly
assemble or safely operate the appliance.
•Disposal of ashes –Ashes should be placed in a metal
container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container
of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor
or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. When the ashes are
disposed by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

shock, or even death. Do not immerse any electronic
or heating element in liquid. Do not use near any
source of water or in the rain.
