WARNING: IN CASE OF FIRE
Immediately disconnect the grill from its electrical power supply.
WARNING: IN CASE OF FIRE
Use ONLY fire extinguishers that are filled with CO2, which is suitable for use on grease fires and electri­cally powered equipment. Do not attempt to fight a grease fire by pointing the nozzle of the fire extin­guisher directly at the burning grease. The force will cause the burning grease to be sprayed to adjacent equipment, making it difficult to contain the fire.
