• When grilling, grease from meat may drip into the charcoal and cause a grease fire. If this should
happen close lid to suffocate the flame. Do not use water to extinguish grease fires.
• AVOID FLASHBACKS. Vent grill before opening lid. Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air
sud den ly comes in contact with fire. When opening the lid, first raise the lid an inch or two, and then
close it. Do this a couple of times before fully opening the lid. This action will help to avoid dangerous
flashbacks. Keep hands, face and body a safe distance from hot steam and flame flare-ups.
