DANGERS AND WARNINGS
You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction,
to obtain the necessary permits, mission or information on any installation restrictions, such as any grill
being installed on a combustible surface, inspection requirements or even ability to use, in your area.
1. A minimum clearance of 914mm (36 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the grill, and 914mm (36 inches)
from the back of the grill to combustible constructions must be maintained. Do not install appliance on combustible
floors, or floors protected with combustible surfaces unless proper permits and permissions are obtained by
authorities having jurisdiction. Do not use this appliance indoors, in an enclosed or unventilated area, inside homes,
vehicles, tents, garages. This wood pellet appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or overhang.
Keep your grill in an area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Should a grease fire occur, turn the grill OFF and leave the lid closed until the fire is out. Unplug the power
cord. Do not throw water on the unit. Do not try to smother the fire. Use of an all-class (class ABC) approved
fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on site. If an uncontrolled fire does occur, call the Fire Department.
2. Keep electrical supply cords and the fuel away from heated surfaces. Do not use your grill in the rain or around any water
source.
3. After a period of storage, or non-use, check the burn grate for obstructions, the hopper for foreign objects, and any air blockage
around the fan intake or chimney. Clean before use. Regular care and maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your unit.
If the grill is stored outside during the rainy season or seasons of high humidity, care should be taken to insure that
water does not get into the hopper. When wet or exposed to high humidity, wood pellets will expand greatly, decompose,
and may jam the feed system. Always disconnect the power, before performing any service or maintenance.
Do not transport your grill while in use or while the grill is hot. Ensure the fire is completely out and that
the grill is completely cool to the touch before moving.
4. It is recommended to use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating the grill. Do not use accessories not specified
for use with this appliance. Do not put a barbecue cover or anything flammable in the storage space area under the barbecue.
5. To prevent fingers, clothing or other objects from coming in contact with the auger feed system, the appliance is equipped
with a metal safety screen, mounted to the interior of the hopper. This screen must not be removed unless directed by
Customer Care or an authorized dealer.
This appliance is not recommended for children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are under direct supervision or instruction
by a person responsible for their safety.
6. Parts of the barbecue may be very hot, and serious injury may occur. Keep young children and pets away while in use.
