Controlling Flare-ups
W CAUTION: Do NOT use water on a grease fire. This can cause the grease to splatter and could
result in serious burns, bodily harm or other damage.
W CAUTION: Do NOT leave grill unattended while preheating or burning off food residue. If grill
has not been cleaned, a grease fire can occur that may damage the product.
Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill and add to the unique flavor of grilling.
Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and be dangerous.
Important: Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill.
If a grease fire occurs, close the lid until the grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may
occur.
If excessive flare-ups occur, do NOT pour water onto the flames.
Minimize Flare-ups:
1. Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
2. Cook high fat content meats indirectly.
3. Ensure that your grill is on a hard, level, non-combustible surface.
WARNING
When cooking, fire extinguishing materials should
be readily accessible. In the event of an oil/grease
fire, use a type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher
or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda. Do NOT
attempt to extinguish with water.
