• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Do not store any propane/butane (G31-G30) cylinder (that is not connected for use) in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the smoker is being used. Never allow children to sit, stand or play on or around the smoker at any time. Do not store items of interest to children around the unit. Never allow children to crawl inside the unit.

• Use a covered hand when opening the hood and do so slowly to allow heat and steam to escape. To avoid burns when cooking, use long handled BBQ tools.

• Use sturdy, properly insulated gloves or potholders. Dish towels or other substitutes can become entangled, causing burns. Use dry potholders; wet potholders create steam and cause burns. Keep potholders away from open flames when lifting or moving utensils. Do not touch portions of the unit with potholders until the hot surfaces have cooled.

• Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. These types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes.

• Never grill without the drip tray in place. Make sure it is placed under the drain plug to catch the drippings. Let the grease cool before attempting to remove for cleaning or disposal. Do not allow large amounts of grease to accumulate in the drip tray as it can catch on fire.
