Safety Warnings
When properly cared for, your grill will provide safe and
reliable service for many years. However, extreme care must
be used as the grill produces intense heat that has a potential
to cause injury when misused. When using this appliance,
basic safety practices must be followed, including the
following:
• Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All other service
should be referred to a qualified technician.
• This outdoor cooking appliance is not intended to be
installed in or on boats and other recreational vehicles.
• Do not use this grill under any overhead combustible
construction including ceilings or overhangs.
• WARNING! Keep children and pets away. Children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill
is being used. Do not allow them to sit, stand or play in or
around the grill at any time.
• Do not store items of interest to children around or below
the grill.
• For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting
garments or sleeves should never be worn while using this
appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable
and should not be worn while cooking.
• Always use heat-resistant gloves or mitts when handling
particularly hot components. When using the grill, do
not touch the warming rack, burner grate or immediate
surroundings as these areas become extremely hot and
could cause burns. Use only dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause steam burns.
Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place or potholders.
Do not allow potholders to touch hot portions of the grill
rack.
• Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill
use. These materials may break with sudden temperature
changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings in
accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. A build-up of
pressure may cause the containers to burst.
• Never lean over an open grill.
• Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting
to handle it. Clean out the grease tray and grease bucket
often to avoid build-up.
CAUTION: ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
• Disconnect the electric power before servicing. Do not
attempt to clean or repair the grill while it is connected to
an electricity source.
• The external electrical power source used for this
appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes.
• Check the plug receptacle before use. Do not plug in the
grill if it is damaged.
• Make sure that the power cord does not come in contact
with any hot surfaces.

SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID INJURY
CAUTION:
Do not install or use grill within 24 in (60.96 cm) of combustible materials from back and
sides of grill. Grill shall not be located under overhead surfaces (closed carport, garage,
porch, patio) that can catch fire.
• Do not use water to control flare ups or extinguish the fire.
Turn off the grill, unplug the power cord, and wait for the
grill to cool down.
• Always have the grease system properly installed while
operating this grill. Never operate without a grease bucket
in place under the side shelf.
• Dispose of ashes after the grill has completely cooled
following a proper shutdown. Wait until grease and ash
are completely cooled before disposing.
• Wait until the fuel is extinguished and the grill is completely
cool before moving, covering, or storing the grill.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line the grill racks or grill
bottom. This can severely upset combustion air flow or
trap excessive heat in the control area.
• Clean the grill with caution. To avoid steam burns, do
not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is
hot. Some cleaners produce toxic fumes or can ignite if
applied to a hot surface.
• Turn off grill controls and make certain the grill is cool
before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around
the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action
could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts
to corrode.
• Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible
materials including, fluids, trash, and vapors such as
gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow
of combustion and ventilation air.
• To reduce the risk of fire, remove pots and pans while the
operating appliance is unattended.
• Do not use accessories that are not specified for this
appliance.
• The use of alcohol, prescription, or non-prescription drugs
may impair the consumer's ability to properly assemble or
safely operate the appliance.
• Disposal of ashes - Ashes should be placed in a metal
container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of
ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or
on the ground, well away from all combustible materials,
pending final disposal. When the ashes are disposed by
burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should
be retained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
• Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the plug.
Only use a GFCI protected circuit to power the grill.
• High voltage used to power the grill can cause electric
shock, or even death. Do not immerse any electronic or
heating element in liquid. Do not use near any source of
water or in the rain.
• When unplugging the grill, never pull from the cord.
Always pull from the plug itself.
