W CAUTION: Do NOT use water on a grease fire. This can cause the grease

damage.

food residue. If grill has not been cleaned, a grease fire can occur that
may damage the product.

W WARNING: When cooking, fire extinguishing materials should be

readily accessible. In the event of an oil/grease fire, use a type BC dry
chemical fire extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda.

Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill and adds to the unique flavor of
grilling.

Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and cause a dangerous situa­tion for you and your grill.

Important: Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of
your grill.

If a grease fire occurs, close the lid until the grease burns out. Use caution when
opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur.

If excessive flare-ups occur, do NOT pour water onto the flames.

Minimize Flare-ups:

1. Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.

2. Cook high fat content meats indirectly.

3. Ensure that your grill is on a hard, level, non-combustible surface.
