Controlling Flare-ups
W CAUTION: Putting out grease fires by only closing the lid is not possible.
1. If a grease fire develops, turn control knobs to the “ OFF” position and LP gas
tank valve “CLOSED”. Do NOT use water on a grease fire. This can cause
the grease to splatter and could result in serious burns, bodily harm or other
damage.
2. Do NOT leave grill unattended while preheating or burning off food residue on
(HIGH). If grill has not been cleaned, a grease fire can occur.
W WARNING: When cooking, fire extinguishing materials should be readily
accessible. In the event of an oil / grease fire, use type BC dry chemical fire
extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda. Do NOT attempt to
extinguish with water.
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 the control knob(s) to “ OFF” until the
grease burns out. Be careful 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 grease receptacle.
