After Use - Char-Broil CBFL-1850/S Owner's Manual

 Grill is hot when in use. To avoid burns:
 DO NOT attempt to move the grill while lit or still hot.
 ALWAYS wear protective gloves or oven mitts.
 DO NOT TOUCH any hot grill surfaces.
 DO NOT wear loose clothing or allow hair to come in contact with grill.
 NEVER add pre-soaked charcoal to hot or warm coals or ashes! Dangerous or explosive flare
ups could occur and result in bodily harm.
 USE EXTREME CAUTION when adding charcoal and/or wood to the grill while cooking, as
charcoal is still hot and can cause burns.
 AVOID INJURY! ALWAYS wear oven mitts or grilling gloves when lifting the lid, adjusting
the grates, or in any other way touching the grill while it is hot.
 Lids are heavy, and will be very hot during and after use.
 Removable lid: NEVER set hot lid on grass, furniture, deck or combustible materials.
 Hinged lid: ALWAYS open lid completely and secure to prevent unexpected closing.
 Some grills have shelves. NEVER place more than 8 pounds (3.6 kg) on any shelf (if
equipped). DO NOT lean on any shelf. ALWAYS make sure shelves are attached securely
to the grill.
 NEVER raise or lower the charcoal grate when smoking with water as hot water may splash
onto the coals creating a burst of steam and hot ash.
 When grilling, grease from food may drip onto the charcoal and cause a grease fire. If this
happens, close the lid to suffocate the flame. NEVER use water to extinguish grease fires!
 Keep hands, face, and body a safe distance from the grill when opening the lid. Flare ups
may occur when flames or hot coals encounter increased airflow.
 NEVER try to remove the ash catcher while coals are hot. Doing so could cause burns.
After Use Safety
 ALWAYS allow grill and all components to cool completely before handling.
 DO NOT remove ashes or used coals from the grill until they are fully extinguished.
 To extinguish charcoal, close all vents and place lid on grill until coals are completely out.
 NEVER leave coals and ash unattended in the grill. All extinguished coals and ash must be
removed and carefully placed in a non-combustible metal container. Saturate coals and ash
with water and allow them to remain in the metal container for 24 hours before disposing.
 Keep extinguished coals and ash safely away from combustible structures and materials.
 Spray or douse the surfaces under and around the grill with water until completely wet to
extinguish any ashes, coals, or embers that may have fallen during grilling or cleaning.
 Store the grill in a dry location out of reach of children and pets when not in use.
