• Do not touch the hot surfaces of the grill. Educate all
children on the dangers of a high-temperature grill.
Young children should be supervised when they are in
the same vicinity as the grill.
• The hopper and grill top will be hot during operation;
therefore, you should always use some type of hand
protection when refueling your grill.
• A power surge protector is required. This unit must be
plugged into a 110 - 120V, 60 Hz grounded electrical
outlet. Do not use an adapter plug or sever the grounding
plug. Do not route the electrical cord underneath, in
front of, or over the grill. Do not route the cord in foot

• Creosote-Formation and need for removal. When wood
pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and other
organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture
to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in a
relatively cool oven flue and exhaust hood of a slow
burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates
on the flue lining and exhaust hood. When ignited, this
creosote makes an extremely hot fire. When grease
or creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to
reduce risk of fire.
• Do not use accessories not specified for use with this
appliance.
• Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless,
odorless gas from poisoning you, your family or others.
• Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning:
headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting,
sleepiness, and confusion. Carbon monoxide reduces
the blood's ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen
levels can result in loss of consciousness and death.
• See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like
symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of this
appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can
easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected
too late.
• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects
of carbon 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 anemia, or heart disease.
