Pit Boss CHARLESTON Instructions Manual page 4

You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction, to obtain the necessary
permits, permissions, 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. Do
not use this appliance under overhead combustible surfaces. Keep your grill in an area clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
WARNING: Be aware of building combustible material, maintain the fire to avoid over-firing. 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. If
the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similar qualified persons in order to avoid
a hazard.
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, chimney, or rear barrel exhaust holes. 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.
WARNING: 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. Remove
pots and pans while the operating appliance is unattended, to reduce the risk of fire.
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.
WARNING: 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.
7. Do not enlarge igniter holes or burn pot. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire hazard and bodily harm and will void your
warranty.
8. Product may have sharp edges or points. Contact may result in injury. Handle with care.
