GENERAL WARNINGS:
WARNING
When using electric appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
• Operate only per manufacturers instructions.
• Keep all combustible materials at least 60 inches (152.4 cm) away from the grill at all times. Do not use this
grill under any overhang or near any combustible structures.
• Minimum clearance from side and back of unit to combustible materials, 60 inches (152.4 cm) from side
and 60 inches (152.4 cm) from back.
• DO NOT use on wood decks. Set up this grill on a hard, non-combustible smooth level surface.
• In case of re, turn the control “OFF”. Unplug the grill from the power source and allow the re to burn out
on its own. Do not use water to try to extinguish a re.
• Keep a re extinguisher on hand acceptable for use with electric products. Refer to your local authority to
determine proper size and type.
• Creosote – Formation and need for removal. When wood pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and
other organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense
in a relatively cool oven u and exhaust hood of a slow burning re. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the ue lining and exhaust hood. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot re.
• The grease duct should be inspected at least twice a year to determine when grease and/or creosote
buildup has occurred.
• When grease or creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce risk of re.
• Do not attempt to touch cooking surfaces or other hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or heating element in water or any other
liquids.
• Never leave appliance unattended. Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away.
Contact may cause burns.
• Unplug this grill from the power source when not in use and before cleaning. Allow appliance to cool down
before attempting to clean or service.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged power cord or plug, or after the appliance has
malfunctioned or been damaged in any manner.
• Do not use accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may not be
compatible with this appliance, and may cause damage or injury.
• Do not place power cord where it may come in contact with hot surfaces, or pose a tripping hazard.
• Do not use this appliance for anything other than its intended use.
• NEVER add cooking pellets to a hot re pot by hand. You could be seriously burned. If the hopper runs
out of pellets or your re goes out while cooking, let the grill completely cool and follow the Initial Lighting
Instructions.
• Use only cooking grade wood pellets. Never use heating grade wood pellets as they are not safe for
cooking.
• Always store wood pellets away from heat and in a dry location.
• NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter uid, or similar liquids to start

vomiting, sleepiness and confusion. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry
oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss of consciousness and death.

of this appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or u, is
often detected too late.
• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
