l 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.
l DO NOT use grill without charcoal ash tray in place. DO NOT attempt to remove charcoal ash tray while coals

l When grill is in use, keep clearance of 36” between the hot grill and any combustible materials, such as
bushes, trees, wooden decks, wooden fences, buildings, etc. Do not place hot grill under roof overhang or in
any other enclosed area.

l 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.
l When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with grill lid and doors 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.
l Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighting fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or
charcoal / wood mixture.
l 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.
