OPERATING AND MAINTAINING YOUR CHARCOAL GRILL
BEFORE USING YOUR CHARCOAL GRILL
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:
· Be careful when burning charcoal to avoid getting
burned from flame, heat or hot coals.
· Burning charcoal consumes oxygen and produces
toxic gases, including carbon monoxide that can kill.
· Be aware of the wind blown sparks.
· Always have an ABC fire extinguisher, baking soda, a
bucket of sand or a garden hose ready in case of an
uncontrolled fire.
USING CHARCOAL
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:
· Never use a barbecue grill unless all parts of the unit
are firmly in place and the grill is stable.
· Never use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other volatile
fluids as a starter. They can explode.
· Do not use aerosols or store flammable liquids or
materials near this charcoal grill. Cap Lighter fluid
immediately and place a safe distance from the grill.
· Instant light briquettes already have the starter blended
in, do not use lighter fluid, an electric starter, solid, or
metal chimney starters.
· Do not add more instant light briquettes once the fire
has been lit. To avoid flame-ups, unpleasant fumes and
odors, add regular charcoal briquettes if needed.
Use a high quality hardwood charcoal to make sure you get a
good fire. Charcoal briquettes made from maple, oak, birch or
elm woods will burn clean with very little smoke and without
unpleasant odors.
· Once the barbecue grill has been lit, do not touch the
charcoal briquettes/wood chunks to see if they are hot.
· Never add lighter fluid to already hot or warm coals
.
· Do not close Hood on flaming charcoal. If closed and
re-opened, the flames could leap out and burn.
· Do not wear loose clothing (example: hanging shirt
tails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a charcoal grill
while in use or hot.
· Do not lean your body over the charcoal grill when
lighting it, while it hot or is in use.
· Do not touch hot surfaces. Use heat resistant gloves,
long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times
since the grill will become very hot.
· Open the hood carefully when cooking to avoid burn
from the hot air and steam trapped inside.
· Do not move a charcoal grill when in use or hot.
· Do not douse or spray the grill or cooking surfaces
with water when hot. Burns from grease or the water
splatters could occur.
· Do not allow children to operate or play near a
charcoal grill. Keep animals and bystanders out of the
grill area. Do not leave grill unattended.
· Allow grill to cool before handling parts or cleaning.
· To avoid a fire, allow coals to burn out completely and
let the ashes cool for 48 hours before disposing of
them.
· Do not attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water
or other liquids. Have a BC fire extinguisher nearby.
· If your Charcoal grill catches on fire:
- Evacuate everyone from the area.
- If you can, close the Hood.
- If the fire is a grease fire, and you can safely
extinguish, use baking soda, a BC fire extinguisher or
a bucket of sand.
- If the fire is any other type and cannot be
extinguished with water, leave it alone and call the
fire department.
- If there is any type of fire that threatens either
personal safety or endangers property, call the fire
department.
