Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid.

charcoal or cooking wood.
First Use
1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the grill.
2. Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this grill for the first time, by operating the
grill for at least 15 minutes with the lid closed. This will “heat clean” the internal parts and
dissipate odors.
Lighting
Check to make sure the air vents are free of debris and ash before
using the grill.
Make sure bottom bowl is empty and
securely and completely in place before
using the grill.
1. Open lid and vents.
2. Make sure bottom bowl is empty and secure.
3. Remove cooking grid.
4. Arrange charcoal briquettes or other fuel on the
charcoal grid to the “Fill Line” (Figure 1).
5. Light per instructions on fuel package.
6. Allow fuel time to ash into glowing coals before
cooking.
CAUTION: When using a liquid starter
always check bottom bowl before lighting. Fluid can collect in the
bottom bowl and could ignite resulting in a fire.
CAUTION: Never add lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as
flashback may occur causing serious injury or damage to property.

25 minutes of grilling time, such as steaks, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken parts, vegetables
and fruit.

protective gloves remove the cooking grid and place additional briquettes without disturbing the
hot coals. Carefully replace cooking grid and food.

do NOT pour water on hot coals.

goods.

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.
Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill.
If excessive flare-ups occur, DO NOT pour water onto the flames.
If grease fire occurs, close the lid until the grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid
as sudden flare-ups may occur.
Minimize Flare-ups:
1. Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
2. Cook high fat contents meats indirectly.
3. Ensure that your grill is on hard, level, non-combustible surface.
Tips for Better Cookouts and Longer Grill Life
1. For great recipes and tips, visit www.kingsford.com.
2. To reduce flare-up keep grill clean, use lean cuts of meat (or trim fat) and avoid cooking on
very high temperatures.
3. Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and indirect cook or
place on upper cooking levels (warming rack).
4. To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn
foods over just once during cooking.
5. When indirect cooking roasts and larger cuts of meat, place meat onto a roasting rack inside
a heavy gauge metal pan.
6. Try water pans to reduce flare-ups and cook juicer meats. Before starting coals remove
cooking grids and place a heavy duty shallow pan directly on charcoal grid. Fill half way
with water, fruit juices or other flavored liquids. Place coals around grid, per “Lighting
Instructions”, replace cooking grids and position food over the loaded pan.
7. Enhance food flavors by using wood chips in smoker boxes or aluminum foil pouches. Follow
the wood manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Rotisseries, grill baskets, vertical poultry holders and other accessories can enhance your
experiences, reduce cooking times and aid in clean-up.
9. Clean cooking grids and racks after every use with a quality grill bush designed for your grid
material. Wear protective gloves and gently remove the build-up while grids are hot.
10. Allow grill to fully cool after every use. Then protect clean cooking grids with a light coat of
cooking oil, clean out all ashes, wipe outside surfaces with a suitable kitchen cleaner and
protect surfaces with a quality cover that is properly fits your grill.

helpful and interesting tips.
