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 and turn regulator/control knob to “
OFF”, 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 on (LOW) setting or indirectly.
3. Ensure that your grill is on a hard, level, non-combustible surface and the grease is allowed to drain into a grease
receptacle.
