Safety and Maintenance
When transporting your grill, NEVER lift it by the hinge. Have at
least two individuals hold the bottom and back of the grill. Lower it
into your table or metal stand with one hand on the inside of the grill
grasping the bottom vent.
Primos should only be used outdoors in an area where there is ade-
quate clearance for ventilation. Keep the space around your grill
clear of hanging tree limbs or other flammable objects.
Lighter fluid should never be used in a Primo. For best results, use
Primo natural lump charcoal, which is free of tars and other harmful
chemicals, so it won‘t compromise the taste of your food.
For safe use on wooden tables or any surfaces other than a metal
stand, always set your Primo on the ceramic feet.
The constant opening and closing of the grill may cause tension in
the hinge over time. Make sure to lubricate the moving parts inside
the hinge at least twice a year to keep the mechanism operating
smoothly.
To ensure your lid stays securely held by the hinge bands, fre-
quently check and tighten the band bolts using an open end
wrench.
It‘s important to always take caution when opening the grill after the
top and bottom vents have been completely closed to extinguish
the fire. In this state the hot coals are suffocated of oxygen and a
rush of air could cause a flashback. Lift the lid only slightly at first to
allow built up heat and steam to escape. Then proceed.
When fueled with natural lump charcoal, Primos produce very little
ASH. However, allowing your Primo to accumulate too much ex-
cess ash in the ash trap will suffocate the charcoal and impede air
flow. Occasionally check the ash trap and remove excess ash with
the recommended Primo ash tool by simply raking the cooled re-
mains out of the bottom vent door and into a receptacle for dis-
posal.
Unlike metal grills, a Primo‘s ceramic body won‘t scald the skin if
briefly touched when hot. However, as with any HOT item, be sure
to use caution when cooking and keep children away.
Primos are self CLEANING. Simply heat your grill to around 500 ºF
to incinerate food and other debris within the grill. When neces-
sary, use a non-abrasive tool to clean the cooking grids. Never use
over
ly abrasive instruments to clean the grids as this will remove
the porcelain finish that helps keep food from sticking. For the grills
outer surface, use a damp cloth to wipe away dust as needed.
