CHARCOAL SAFETY

•

Never add lighter fluid to coals that are already hot and or warm.

•

Never use gasoline, kerosene, or other highly volatile fluids as a starter due to the explosion hazard.

•

Never use an electric starter in the rain or when standing on wet ground.

•

When using instant light briquettes, do not use any other starters along with them. Do not add additional
instant light briquettes once the coals are lit. Only add regular charcoal briquettes if more are needed.

•

Once the grill is lit, do not touch briquettes or wood chunks to see if they are hot. Keep grill uncovered until
ready to cook.

•

Always allow coals to burn out completely and let ashes cool completely before disposing.

•

Dispose of cold ashes by wrapping them in heavy duty aluminum foil and placing them in a non­combustible container. Be sure no other combustible materials are nearby

•

Only place charcoal in the charcoal tray and nowhere else

•

Extinguished coals and ashes must be placed within a safe distance from all structures and combustible
materials.

•

Never leave coals and ashes in the grill unattended.

Location of Grill

Most importantly, this is an outdoor grill. Ensure your grill is positioned safely away from anything that
can catch fire. Under no circumstance is this grill to be used indoors. This includes garages or any

other enclosed or partially enclosed areas.

▪

Clearance from Combustibles: Ensure your grill remains at a distance of at least 48” of the side,
front, and back from combustible surfaces such as wood, gyprock, paper and plants. Built in

applications must be installed in non-combustible materials. Do not store combustible materials,

gasoline or flammable liquids or vapors around the grill. Do not use this unit under combustible
surfaces. Do not use this grill under cover whether permanent or temporary structure.

▪

Adequate Ventilation: Ensure there is adequate ventilation for both the grill, grill cart and/or island
cavity. This is required not only for proper combustion, but also to prevent heat buildup.

▪

Firm Level Surface: Use your grill only on a firm level surface. This grill is not designed for recreational
vehicles, and should not be installed on a boat or marine craft.

▪

Protection from Weather: Keep the grill protected from adverse weather, including rain and high winds.
Place the grill in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind. The exposure of Stainless Steel to salt
in the air (either along the coast or by salt water pools), pool chemicals, garden fertilizers, countertop
chemicals (stone sealer) can accelerate the corrosion of the grill components. More regular cleaning of
the grill and covering of the unit will be required in these settings. Never store any chemicals near your
grill. There are products to protect the stainless steel components when exposed to these
environments. Consult your dealer for more information on these products.

▪

Under covered enclosures: Many backyards have areas that are either completely enclosed or partially
closed off, such as balconies and pergolas. Do not use this grill inside a building or any other enclosed or
partially enclosed area. Remember to never use this grill in an undercover enclosure. Do not use this
grill under cover whether permanent or temporary structure.
