BEFORE YOU GRILL

• Read your grill manufacturer’s instructions and call their help line if you have questions.
• Position your grill in an open area away from buildings and high traffic areas.
• Check to make sure all parts of your grill are in place and the grill is stable.

WHEN GRILLING

• Before lighting the grill, apply non-stick spray to the grates. The protective spray cuts down on clean-up time.
• Wear clothes that do not have hanging shirt tails, frills or aprons.
• Never leave a grill unattended once lit.
• Use utensils with long handles to avoid burns.
• Use baking soda to control a grease fire and have a fire extinguisher handy. If you don’t have a commercial extinguisher, keep a bucket of sand or a garden hose nearby.
• Never attempt to move a hot grill. It’s easy to stumble or drop it and serious burns could result.

After you Grill

• Turn the grill burners and lp grill cylinder to the off position.
• Use a wire Brush to scrub away buildup on the grates once the grill has cooled.
• To clean the grate, remove the cooled grate and squirt grease-cutting dishwashing detergent on it. Scrub with an abrasive brush or pad, then rinse. Be prepared to repeat this several times.
