DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD. Burning charcoal inside can kill you. It gives off carbon monoxide, which has no odor. NEVER burn charcoal inside homes, vehicles, or tents.

By turning the crank handle, the charcoal tray can be raised or lowered to your desired height. This allows for different heat settings depending on the food you are cooking. It also allows for easy cleaning of the firebox interior after the unit has cooled completely. It is not recommended to raise a fully loaded charcoal tray higher than the middle height setting.

The grate is coated with porcelain, which is a fragile coating. Handle it with care to avoid damage. DO NOT cool the grate in cold water while it is still hot, as the coating may crack. Let the grate cool off by itself.

1. Open the grill top.

2. Remove the cooking grates.

3. Adjust the charcoal tray to the center position.

4. Place one even row of charcoal briquettes in the charcoal tray. Ensure charcoal does not go above the top of the tray.

5. Light the briquettes.

6. Move the charcoal tray to the bottom position.

7. With the top open, allow the briquettes to fully ignite (to the point where there is no further flame).

8. Once the briquettes are lit, put the grates back in the grill using heat-resistant gloves.

9. Adjust the charcoal tray as required to achieve the proper temperature.

For maximum heat/temperature, open both side air vents located on the side of the main body. To reduce the heat/temperature, close the air vents on the side of the main body.

NOTE: The temperature should not go above 500°F (260°C). If the temperature exceeds 500°F (260°C), you should open the lid and allow the briquettes to cool. The proper cooking temperature should not exceed 500°F (260°C).

Seasoning the unit enhances cooking and provides better durability. Failure to follow these steps may damage the finish and/or impart metallic flavors to foods.

1. Remove all retail hangtags from the unit, but DO NOT remove safety markings.

2. Place one even row of charcoal briquettes in the charcoal tray. Ensure charcoal does not go above the top of the tray.

3. Coat interior surfaces with vegetable cooking oil.

4. Light the briquettes and set the charcoal tray at medium height by cranking the crank handle.

5. Sustain the burn for about two hours with the lid closed and all dampers 1/4 of the way open. Allow the unit to cool down properly.

6. Once this is completed, the unit is ready for use.

WARNING: These metal parts can be very hot while grilling. Always operate these parts while wearing a heat-resistant glove.

• To open the front door: Lift the door slightly and pull.

• To close the front door: Lift the door slightly and push it to the door frame catch.

• To adjust the side dampers: Pull or push the damper handle until the desired airflow is achieved.

• To adjust the smoke stack: Move the smoke stack adjustment handle away from the smoke stack and raise or lower it until the desired airflow is achieved.

Charcoal is recommended, but wood or a combination of both may be used as the fuel source if placed and ignited on the charcoal pan. Do not build too large a fire. We recommend starting a fire with no more than 3.5 lbs. of charcoal (approximately 65 briquettes) and adding more as needed during cooking. After allowing the fire to burn down, place the cooking grates in the unit using heat-resistant gloves. Failure to read and follow instructions for lighting charcoal may result in serious personal injury and or property damage.

The frequency of cleaning is determined by how often the grill is used. Make sure coals are completely extinguished and the grates are cooled down before cleaning inside the unit.

• To remove stains on the lid and front panel caused by fumigation while grilling, use of a cleaning pad is recommended.

• Wipe out the interior of the unit with a cloth or paper towel.

• Clean the grates with warm water and pat dry. The porcelain coating is fragile. Do not knock, hit, or drop the grates.

Rust can appear on the inside of your grill. Maintaining a light coating of vegetable oil on interior surfaces will aid in the protection of your grill. Exterior surfaces of the grill may need occasional touch-ups. We recommend the use of commercially available black high-temperature spray paint. NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF THE UNIT!
