Size. Make sure the height of your food fits in your grill with the lid down. You should
have at least 1" clearance between your food and the lid.
Is Dinner Ready Yet? A kitchen timer and an instant-read thermometer are your best
defenses against overcooked foods. Use the thermometer to check on doneness in
roasts, chickens, or thick cuts of meat.
Clean Up Your Act. Don’t forget to regularly brush off your cooking grate and clean out
the drip pan under the grill.

owner’s manual on safely lighting and
operating your grill. We know, owner’s manuals generally aren’t spellbinding, but
they do have information you need to know and you shouldn’t skim over.
• Keep your grill at least 2 feet from any combustible materials, including but not
limited to your house, garage, deck railing, etc.
• Never use a grill indoors–that includes a garage, breezeway, covered patio, or an
unprotected roof or overhang.
• Never use a grill that wobbles, leans, or is in any way unstable.
• Use barbecue mitts at all times.
• Keep sleeves and garments out of the line of fire–literally. Roll up your sleeves and
keep the loose, billowy outfits for après grilling.
• Never pour water on a grease fire. Instead, turn the burner control knob OFF and
close the lid.
• Keep children and pets a safe distance away from the hot grill.
• When you’re finished, turn off the grill.
Food Safety
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before starting any meal
preparation and after handling fresh meat, fish, or poultry.
• Thoroughly defrost foods in the refrigerator, not on the countertop.
• Use a clean spatula or tongs to remove food from the grill.
• Never place cooked food on the platter used to
carry the uncooked food to the grill.
• Always grill ground meats to at least
160° (170° for poultry).
Now light up and have fun!
