CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS

Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill and add to the unique flavor of grilling. Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your
food and be dangerous. Important: If a grease fire occurs, close the lid and turn Burner Knob(s) to OFF until grease burns out.
Be careful when opening the lid as a sudden flare-up may occur. If excessive flare-ups occur, do not pour water onto the flames.
CAUTION: Putting out grease fires by only closing the lid is not possible. Excessive flare-ups result from
build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill.
1. If a grease fire develops, turn Burner Knobs to the OFF position, LP gas tank valve CLOSED. Do NOT use water on a
grease fire. This can cause grease to splatter and could result in serious burns, bodily harm or other damage.
2. Do NOT leave grill unattended while preheating or burning off food residue on HIGH. If grill has not been cleaned, a
grease fire can occur.
WARNING: When cooking, fire extinguishing materials should be readily accessible. In the event of an oil/
grease fire, use type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda. Do NOT
attempt to extinguish with water.

MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS

• Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
• Cook high fat content meats on LOW setting or indirectly.
• Ensure that your grill is on a hard, level, non-combustible surface and the grease is allowed to drain into the grease
receptacle.
