DANGERS AND WARNINGS
You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction, to
obtain the necessary permits, permission, 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 hardwood 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 Pot 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, hardwood pellets will expand greatly,
decompose, and may jam the feed system. Always disconnect the power, before performing any service or maintenance
IMPORTANT! Always power off the appliance and allow the shut-down cycle to run. Unplug the appliance
only once the shut-down cycle is complete, and/or before cleaning. Failure to follow this warning can cause
damage, serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
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.
