m A dented or rusty LP disposable cartridge may be hazardous and should be checked by your liquid propane supplier. Do not use an LP
disposable cartridge with a damaged valve.
m Although your LP disposable cartridge may appear to be empty, it may still contain gas. The LP disposable cartridge should be
transported and stored accordingly.
m Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves (conforming to EN 407, Contact Heat rating level 2 or greater) while cooking, adjusting air
vents (dampers), adding charcoal, and handling thermometer or lid.
m If you see, smell or hear gas escaping from the LP disposable cartridge:
1. Get away from the LP disposable cartridge.
2. Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself.
3. Call your Fire Department.

the indirect method.
m Using sharp objects to clean the cooking grate or remove ashes will damage the finish.
m Using abrasive cleaners on the cooking grates or the grill itself will damage the finish.
m The grill should be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis.
