This document describes the Fire Sense Stainless Steel Foldaway Charcoal Grill, Item # 63724, a portable charcoal grill designed for outdoor use.

Function Description:

The Fire Sense Stainless Steel Foldaway Charcoal Grill is a compact and portable grilling appliance that uses charcoal briquettes as fuel. It is designed for outdoor cooking, allowing users to grill food on a cooking surface while the charcoal burns on a lower grate. Its foldaway design makes it easy to set up, use, and store, making it suitable for various outdoor activities. The grill includes multi-purpose handles for lifting the cooking grill and for moving the entire grill when hot.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific dimensions and weight are not provided in the manual, the grill is described as "foldaway" and "portable," indicating a compact and lightweight design suitable for transport and easy storage.

Fuel Type: Charcoal briquettes only.
Material: Stainless steel, as indicated by the product title.
Grates: Includes a bottom grate for charcoal and a top grilling grate for cooking.

Usage Features:

Maintenance Features:

Regular Inspection: The grill should be inspected regularly for product safety and longevity. This should only be done when the fire is completely out and the grill is completely cooled. Check all parts for signs of damage or rust. Do not operate if damaged parts are found until repairs or replacements are made.
Cleaning: Regular cleaning promotes a safer experience and longer product life.
- Do not clean until the fire is completely out and the grill has cooled completely.
- Do not use oven cleaner or abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the product.
- Do not clean any part in a self-cleaning oven.
- Wipe exterior surfaces with mild dishwashing detergent or baking soda.
- For stubborn surfaces, use a citrus-based degreaser and a nylon scrubbing brush.
- Rinse with clean water and dry all parts with a soft cloth.
- Remove built-up creosote from components with a chimney cleaning product.
- After grilling, wait until the glow is completely extinct and all charcoal has burned and is no longer hot before cleaning.
- Always clean and dry the grill thoroughly before returning it to its carry bag.
Rust Prevention: Fire Sense products are made to resist premature rusting, but all metals may eventually rust. At the first sign of rust or other corrosion, use an emery cloth, metal-grade sandpaper, or a rotary tool to buff away the blemish and touch up the spot with rust- and heat-resistant spray paint available at local hardware stores.
Storage:
- Do not move or store the grill until the fire is completely out and the grill has cooled completely.
- Once the fire is out, coals are cold, and the grill is cool to the touch, remove ashes and dispose of properly.
- Once cooled and ashes disposed of, fold up the grill and store it in a dry, covered area.
Pre-use Check after Storage: After a period of storage or non-use, check for signs of damage and creosote build-up. Do not operate until necessary repairs and/or cleanup are executed.
