IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

WE WANT YOU TO ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR GRILL AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL

IS TO ATTRACT YOUR ATTENTION TO POSSIBLE HAZARDS AS YOU ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR GRILL.

WHEN YOU SEE THE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE INFORMATION WHICH FOLLOWS!

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR GRILL.

• Only use this grill on a hard, level, non-combustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc.) capable of supporting the
weight of the grill. Never use on wooden or other surfaces that could burn.

• DO NOT use grill without charcoal ash cup in place. DO NOT attempt to remove charcoal ash cup while cup contains
hot coals.

• Proper clearance of 10 feet between the grill and combustible material (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences,
buildings, etc.) or construction should be maintained at all times when grill is in use. Do not place grill under a roof
overhang or other enclosed area. Not adhering to these clearances will prevent proper ventilation and may increase the
risk of a fire and/or property damage, which could also result in personal injury.

• For outdoor use only. Do not operate grill indoors or in an enclosed area.

• For household use only. Do not use this grill for other than its intended purpose.

• We recommend the use of a Charcoal Chimney Starter to avoid the dangers associated with charcoal lighting fluid. If
you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, only use lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Carefully read manufac­turer’s warnings and instructions on the charcoal lighting fluid and charcoal prior to the use of their product. Store
charcoal lighting fluid safely away from grill.

• When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with grill lid open until covered with a light ash
(approximately 20 minutes). This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. Failure to do this could trap fumes from
charcoal lighting fluid in grill and may result in a flash fire or explosion when lid is opened.

• Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood
mixture.

• Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products could cause an
explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.

• Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing severe burns.

• Place grill in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close supervision is necessary when
grill is in use.

• Do not leave grill unattended when in use.

• When adding charcoal, use extreme caution and follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal During Cooking” section of this
manual.

• Do not store or use grill near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.

• Use caution when adjusting charcoal grate height. Handle may be hot when in use.

Grill is hot when in use. To avoid burns:

• DO NOT attempt to move the grill.

• Wear protective gloves or oven mitts when adjusting cooking grill, ash cup or charcoal grate height.

• DO NOT touch any hot grill surfaces.

• DO NOT wear loose clothing or allow hair to come in contact with grill.

WARNING

3

• When grilling, grease from meat may drip into the charcoal and cause a grease fire. If this should happen close lid to
suffocate the flame. Do not use water to extinguish grease fires.

• Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. When opening the lid, keep
hands, face and body a safe distance from hot steam and flame flare-ups.

• Never place more than 15 pounds on side tables. Do not lean on the side tables.

• Do not exceed a temperature of 400°F. Do not allow charcoal to rest on the walls of grill. Doing so will greatly reduce
the life of the metal and finish of your grill.

• Use caution when assembling and operating your grill to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of metal parts. Use
caution when reaching into or under grill.

• When opening lid, make sure it is pushed all the way open. If lid is not fully open, it could fall back to a closed position
and cause bodily injury.

• In windy weather, place grill in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.

• Close lid to suffocate flame.

• Never leave coals and ashes in grill unattended. Before grill can be left unattended, remaining coals and ashes must be
removed from grill. Use caution to protect yourself and property. Carefully place remaining coals and ashes in a
non-combustible metal container and saturate completely with water. Allow coals and water to remain in metal
container 24 hours prior to disposing.

• Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all structures and combustible materials.

• With a garden hose, completely wet the surface beneath and around grill to extinguish any ashes, coals or embers
which may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.

• After each use, clean the grill thoroughly. Cover the grill to protect it from excessive rusting.

• Use caution when lifting or moving grill to prevent strains and back injuries.

• We advise that a fire extinguisher be on hand. Refer to your local authority to determine proper size and type of fire
extinguisher.

• Accessory attachments not manufactured by The Brinkmann Corporation for this particular product are not
recommended and may lead to personal injury or property damage.

• Store the grill out of reach of children and in a dry location when not in use.

• Do not attempt to service grill other than normal maintenance as explained in “After-Use Safety” and “Proper Care &
Maintenance” sections of this manual.

• Properly dispose of all packaging material.

USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING YOUR GRILL.
