Brinkmann CHARCOAL SMOKER CHARCOAL GRILL Owner's Manual page 15

• When grilling, grease from meat may drip into the charcoal and cause a grease fire. If this should
happen close lid and turn gas knobs to off position to suffocate the flame. Do not use water to
extinguish grease fires.
• Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. When
opening the lid, keep hands, face and body a safe distance from hot steam and flame flare-ups.
• Never place more than 15 pounds (6.8 kg) on side table. Do not lean on the side table. Always ensure
side table is properly seated.
• Do not exceed a temperature of 400°F (205°C). Do not allow charcoal and/or wood to rest on the walls
of grill. Doing so will greatly reduce the life of the metal and finish of your grill.
• Use caution when assembling and operating your grill to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of
metal parts. Use caution when reaching into or under grill.
• When opening lid, make sure it is pushed all the way open. If lid is not fully open, it could fall back to
a closed position and cause bodily injury.
• In windy weather, place grill in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.
• Close lids and doors to suffocate flame.
• Never leave coals and ashes in grill unattended. Before grill can be left unattended, remaining coals
and ashes must be removed from grill. Use caution to protect yourself and property. Carefully place
remaining coals and ashes in a non-combustible metal container and saturate completely with water.
Allow coals and water to remain in metal container 24 hours prior to disposing.
• Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all structures and combustible
materials.
• With a garden hose, completely wet the surface beneath and around grill to extinguish any ashes,
coals or embers which may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.
• After each use, clean the grill thoroughly and apply a light coat of vegetable oil to interior to prevent
rusting. Cover the grill to protect it from excessive rusting.
• Use caution when lifting or moving grill to prevent strains and back injuries.
• We advise that a fire extinguisher be on hand. Refer to your local authority to determine proper size
and type of fire extinguisher.
• Accessory attachments not manufactured by The Brinkmann Corporation for this particular product
are not recommended and may lead to personal injury or property damage.
• Store the grill out of reach of children and in a dry location when not in use.
• Do not attempt to service grill other than normal maintenance as explained in "After-Use Safety" and
"Proper Care & Maintenance" sections of this manual. Repairs should be performed by The
