SAFETY INFORMATION

m Extinguish coals when finished cooking.
Close all vents (dampers) after putting lid
on bowl.
m Barbecue mitts should always be
worn while cooking, adjusting air vents
(dampers), adding charcoal and handling
the thermometer or lid.
m Use proper barbecue tools, with long,
heat-resistant handles.
m Some models may include the Tuck-
Away™ lid holder feature. The Tuck-Away™
lid holder is used to store the lid while
checking on or turning your food. Do not
use the Tuck-Away™ lid holder as a handle
to lift or move the grill. For those models
without the Tuck-Away™ feature, use the
hook on the inside of the lid to hang the
lid on the side of the barbecue bowl. Do
not place a hot lid on carpeting or grass.
Do not hang the lid on the bowl handle.
m Never dump hot coals where they might
be stepped on or be a fire hazard. Never
dump ashes or coals before they are fully
extinguished. Do not store barbecue until
ashes and coals are fully extinguished.
