IMPORTANT: READ SAFETY RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING:

This grill burns charcoal. Charcoal produces carbon monoxide (CO) when it is burned. The Consumer

Product Safety Commission reports about 20 people die and 400 are injured each year as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning from charcoal grills.

CO is a colorless, odorless gas that can accumulate to toxic levels in closed environments. Charcoal grills should never be used in an enclosed area,

even if ventilation is provided.
