IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION!

DANGER

CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD!

Burning charcoal releases carbon monoxide, a toxic odorless gas which

can cause serious injury or death. NEVER burn charcoal inside

homes, inside vehicles, or inside any other enclosed areas! If used

indoors, toxic fumes, including carbon monoxide, will accumulate and

cause serious injury or death.

OUTDOOR USE ONLY!

to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

2) This product contains chemicals, including lead and lead compounds, known to the

State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Safe Grill Placement

WARNING

This grill is for OUTDOOR USE ONLY! NEVER use this grill in an enclosed area or under an

overhead cover of any kind, including a tent, patio cover, or any other building or structure.

DO NOT use this grill within 10 feet (3.05 meters) of any combustible material, including,

but not limited to, bushes, trees, wood or treated-wood decks, fences, patios, porches,

walls, vehicles, gasoline, lighter fluid, or any other flammable liquids.

ONLY use this grill on a hard, level, non-combustible, stable surface (e.g., concrete) that is

Char‐Broil*is*a*registered*trade*mark*of*W.C.*Bradley*Company.*VDG,*Inc.*Licensee*/*September*14,*2010 - Page*4

able to support the weight of the grill. NEVER use on wood or other combustible surfaces.

NEVER use this grill where children or pets could come into contact with the grill.

DO NOT store or use grill near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where

flammable vapors may be present.

Avoid fire. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Refer to your local authority to determine proper

size and type of fire extinguisher.

For residential use only! NOT for commercial use! DO NOT use this grill for other than its

intended purpose. Any commercial use voids all warranties.

Grill Preparation Safety

WARNING

DO NOT use this grill without the ash catcher (if available), ash pan, or ash tray in place.

DO NOT use this grill unless all parts are in working condition and properly installed.

Use care when lifting or moving this grill to prevent strains and back injuries.

Charcoal Lighting Safety

WARNING

We recommend a charcoal chimney starter to avoid the dangers of charcoal starter fluid.

ALWAYS read and follow the chimney starter manufacturer’s instructions and warnings.

Failure to do so could result in serious injury.

If you use charcoal starter fluid, ONLY use starter fluid approved for lighting charcoal.

NEVER use gasoline, alcohol, kerosene, or any other highly flammable liquid. Use of any

of these or similar products could cause an explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.

Carefully read the charcoal and starter fluid manufacturer’s warnings and instructions

before using this grill. Failure to do so could result in serious injury.

ALWAYS clean up any starter fluid spills before lighting charcoal.

ALWAYS allow charcoal starter fluid to completely burn off prior to closing the grill lid

(approximately 20 minutes). Failure to do so could trap fumes in the grill and might result in a

flash fire or explosion when the lid is opened.

NEVER add charcoal starter fluid to hot or warm coals! Flare up could occur and cause burns.

ALWAYS store charcoal starter fluid safely away from grill. DO NOT store starter fluid or other

flammable liquids or materials under the grill.

Grill Use Safety

WARNING

DO NOT use the grill in windy conditions.

NEVER leave a hot grill unattended.

Char‐Broil*is*a*registered*trade*mark*of*W.C.*Bradley*Company.*VDG,*Inc.*Licensee*/*September*14,*2010 - Page*5

Grill is hot when in use. To avoid burns:

DO NOT attempt to move the grill while lit or still hot.

ALWAYS wear protective gloves or oven mitts.

DO NOT TOUCH any hot grill surfaces.

DO NOT wear loose clothing or allow hair to come in contact with grill.

NEVER add pre-soaked charcoal to hot or warm coals or ashes! Dangerous or explosive flare

ups could occur and result in bodily harm.

USE EXTREME CAUTION when adding charcoal and/or wood to the grill while cooking, as

charcoal is still hot and can cause burns.

AVOID INJURY! ALWAYS wear oven mitts or grilling gloves when lifting the lid, adjusting

the grates, or in any other way touching the grill while it is hot.

Lids are heavy, and will be very hot during and after use.

Removable lid: NEVER set hot lid on grass, furniture, deck or combustible materials.

Hinged lid: ALWAYS open lid completely and secure to prevent unexpected closing.

Some grills have shelves. NEVER place more than 8 pounds (3.6 kg) on any shelf (if

equipped). DO NOT lean on any shelf. ALWAYS make sure shelves are attached securely

to the grill.

NEVER raise or lower the charcoal grate when smoking with water as hot water may splash

onto the coals creating a burst of steam and hot ash.

When grilling, grease from food may drip onto the charcoal and cause a grease fire. If this

happens, close the lid to suffocate the flame. NEVER use water to extinguish grease fires!

Keep hands, face, and body a safe distance from the grill when opening the lid. Flare ups

may occur when flames or hot coals encounter increased airflow.

NEVER try to remove the ash catcher while coals are hot. Doing so could cause burns.

After Use Safety

WARNING

ALWAYS allow grill and all components to cool completely before handling.

DO NOT remove ashes or used coals from the grill until they are fully extinguished.

To extinguish charcoal, close all vents and place lid on grill until coals are completely out.

NEVER leave coals and ash unattended in the grill. All extinguished coals and ash must be

removed and carefully placed in a non-combustible metal container. Saturate coals and ash

with water and allow them to remain in the metal container for 24 hours before disposing.

Keep extinguished coals and ash safely away from combustible structures and materials.

Spray or douse the surfaces under and around the grill with water until completely wet to

extinguish any ashes, coals, or embers that may have fallen during grilling or cleaning.

Store the grill in a dry location out of reach of children and pets when not in use.
