sides of the grill, and 305mm (12inches) from the back of the grill to combustible
constructions must be maintained.Do not install the appliance on combustible
floors, or floors protected with combustible surfaces unless proper permits and
permissions are obtained by authorities having jurisdiction.Do not use this
appliance indoors or in an enclosed, unventilated area.This wood pellet appliance
must not be placed under an overhead combustible ceiling or overhang.Keep

required to prolong the lifespan of your unit.If the grill is stored outside during the
rainy season or seasons of high humidity, care should be taken to ensure that
water does not get into the hopper.When wet or exposed to high humidity, wood
pellets will expand greatly, decompose, and may jam the feed system.Always
disconnect the power, before performing any service or maintenance.
Should agrease fire occur, turn the grill OFF and leave the lid closed until the fire is out.
Unplug the power cord from the connected outlet.Do not throw water on the unit.Do not
try to smother the fire.The use of an all-class (class ABC) approved fire extinguisher is

WOOD PELLET FUEL
This pellet cooking appliance is designed and approved for pelletized, all-natural,
wood fuel only.Any other type of fuel burned in this appliance will void the warranty

pellet barbecue grills.Do not use fuel with additives.Wood pellets are highly
susceptible to moisture and should always be stored in an airtight container.If you are
storing your grill, without use, for an extended period, we recommend clearing all
pellets from your grill's hopper and auger, to prevent jams.
This appliance is not recommended for children, persons with reduced physical, sensory,

fire in your grill.Keep all such liquids well away from the appliance when in use.

SAFETY WARNINGS
At time of printing, there is no industry standard for barbecue wood pellets, although
most pellet mills use the same standards to make wood pellets for domestic use.
Further information can be found at www.pelletheat.org or the Pellet Fuel Institute.
Contact your local dealer on the quality of pellets in your area and for information on
brand quality.As there is no control over the quality of pellets used, we assume no
responsibility to damage caused by poor quality of fuel.
CREOSOTE
Creosote, or soot, is atar-like substance.When burning, it produces black smoke with
aresidue which is also black in colour.Soot or creosote is formed when the appliance
is operated incorrectly, such as:blockage of the combustion fan, failure to clean and
maintain the burn area, moisture affected pellets, or poor air-to-fuel combustion.
It is dangerous to operate this appliance should the flame become dark, sooty, or if
the burn pot is overfilled with pellets.When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely
hot and uncontrolled fire, similar to agrease fire.Should this happen, turn the unit
OFF, let it cool completely, then inspect for maintenance and cleaning.It commonly
accumulates along exhaust areas.
If creosote has formed within the unit, allow the unit to warm up at alow temperature,
turn off the appliance, then wipe away
any formation with ahand towel.Similar to tar, it is much easier to clean when warm,
as it becomes liquid.

CARBON MONOXIDE (“the silent killer”)
Carbon monoxide is acolourless,odourless,tasteless gas produced
by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal, or other fuel.Carbon
monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen.Low blood
oxygen levels can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea,
vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or death.Follow
these guidelines to prevent this colourless,odourless gas from
poisoning you, your family, or others:
•See adoctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms
while cooking or in the vicinity of the appliance.Carbon monoxide
poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for acold or flu, is often

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 anaemia,or heart disease.
