MAINTENANCE ISSUES
• THE GRILL MUST BE CLEANED AND MAINTAINED ON A REGULAR BASIS
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS SET FORTH IN THIS MANUAL.
• DO NOT MODIFY OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PARTS OF THE GRILL.
• ALWAYS UNPLUG THE GRILL BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE.
• NEVER ADD PELLETS BY HAND TO THE FIRE POT. IF THE GRILL RUNS OUT OF PELLETS DURING
COOKING, LET THE GRILL COMPLETELY COOL AND START AGAIN FOLLOWING THE INITIAL
START-UP INSTRUCTIONS.
• THE HEAT SHIELD MUST BE PROPERLY INSTALLED IN THE GRILL, OTHERWISE THE POTENTIAL
FOR A GREASE FIRE IS GREATLY INCREASED.
• GREASE FIRES ARE OFTEN CAUSED BY FAILING TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN THE GRILL BY
CLEANING THE GREASE PAN, AND THE GREASE DRAIN ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. IN THE EVENT
OF A GREASE FIRE, TURN THE CONTROL UNIT TO "OFF", LEAVE THE LID CLOSED UNTIL THE FIRE
IS OUT. DO NOT UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. IF AN UNCONTROLLED FIRE DOES OCCUR,
IMMEDIATELY CALL THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT. NEVER PUT WATER ON THE FIRE.
• WHEN REMOVING UNBURNED PELLETS AND ASH FROM INSIDE AND AROUND THE FIRE POT,
MAKE SURE THAT THE GRILL, FIRE POT, AND ASHES ARE COLD TO PREVENT A FIRE FROM THE
HOT ASH.
CREOSOTE
• SOOT OR CREOSOTE MAY FORM WITHIN THE GRILL PRODUCING A TAR-LIKE SUBSTANCE OVER
TIME. WHEN IGNITED, CREOSOTE MAKES AN EXTREMELY HOT AND OUT-OF-CONTROL FIRE,
SIMILAR TO A GREASE FIRE.
• YOU SHOULD NOT OPERATE THE GRILL IF THE FLAME BECOMES DARK AND SOOTY. IF
CREOSOTE HAS FORMED WITHIN THE GRILL, ALLOW THE GRILL TO WARM UP AT LOW
TEMPERATURE, THEN TURN THE GRILL OFF, AND WIPE OUT ANY CRESOTE FROM THE GRILL
WITH A HAND TOWEL. USE CAUTION AS THE HOT CREOSOTE MAY CAUSE BURNS IF NOT
PROPERLY HANDLED.
• SHOULD A CREOSOTE FIRE OCCUR, TURN THE CONTROL UNIT TO "OFF", AND LEAVE THE LID
CLOSED UNTIL THE FIRE IS OUT. DO NOT UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE
THE GRILL, TRY TO SMOTHER THE FIRE, OR PUT WATER ON THE FIRE. IF AN UNCONTROLLED
FIRE DOES OCCUR, IMMEDIATELY CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING
• THE GRILL MUST BE OPERATED AT ALL TIMES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE GUIDELINES TO
PREVENT CARBON MONOXIDE FROM POISONING YOU, YOUR FAMILY, OR OTHERS.
• CARBON MONOXIDE IS COLORLESS, AND ODORLESS, SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO OPERATE THE
GRILL IN STRICT ACCORDANCE WITH THIS OPERATING MANUAL, AND THESE WARNINGS.
• THE GRILL MUST BE AT ALL TIMES BE OPERATED OUTSIDE, IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA, AND

AVOID CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
• THE SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING INCLUDE HEADACHES, DIZZINESS,
WEAKNESS, NAUSEA, VOMITING, SLEEPINESS, AND CONFUSION. CARBON MONOXIDE REDUCES
THE BLOOD'S ABILITY TO CARRY OXYGEN, AND LOW BLOOD OXYGEN LEVELS CAN RESULT IN
LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND DEATH.
• ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION AND DRUG USE INCREASE THE EFFECTS OF CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING.
• CARBON MONOXIDE IS ESPECIALLY TOXIC TO MOTHERS AND CHILDREN DURING PREGNANCY,
INFANTS, THE ELDERLY, SMOKERS, AND PEOPLE WITH BLOOD OR CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
PROBLEMS, SUCH AS ANEMIA OR HEART DISEASE.
• YOU MUST SEE A DOCTOR IF YOU EITHER DEVELOP COLD OR FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS WHILE
COOKING IN THE VICINITY OF THE GRILL, AS CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING CAN EASILY BE
MISTAKEN FOR A COLD OR FLU, AND IS OFTEN DETECTED TOO LATE.
