 Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront,
mountaintop, etc.) a wind break will be required. Winds blowing into or across the grill exhaust, can
affect performance and / or cause various parts of the grill to get hotter than expected.
 Always open the grill hood carefully, using only the handle - the grill body will be hot. Always use high
heat gloves during use.
 Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where any grill is in use. They should never
be allowed to touch, sit or stand on any part of the grill.
 Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the grill or in the grill. Children climbing on
the grill to reach these items could be seriously injured.
 Wear proper clothing when operating this grill. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be
worn while using the grill. Always use high heat gloves during use.
 Do not leave the grill unattended while in use.
 Do not use water on grease fires! A violent steam explosion may result. Instead, smother the fire with a
multipurpose ABC extinguisher.
 Never look into the top vent of the kamado when it is in use. The escaping exhaust is very hot and
could cause injury.
 Keeping air flow through unit is critical for performance and safety.
 WARNING: Every part of the grill will be hot during and for a period of time after use. Use caution,
keep children away from the grill, and always use gloves and protective clothing during use. Never
touch the kamado body while in use.
 TAKE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN OPENING THE GRILL LID AS HOT COALS CAN FLASH SHOULD
THEY RECEIVE A RUSH OF AIR. ALWAYS ENSURE BOTH THE TOP AND BOTTOM VENTS ARE
OPEN FULLY BEFORE OPENING THE GRILL LID. ALWAYS OPEN THE LID TO ROUGHLY 1-2" AND
HOLD IT THERE FOR 5-10 SECONDS TO LET OXYGEN SLOWLY ENTER THE GRILL. THEN COMPLETELY
LIFT THE LID OPEN SLOWLY. AT ALL TIMES THE USE OF LONG HEAT RESISTANT GLOVES IS
NECESSARY FOR SAFETY.
 The hinge mechanism should be checked regularly to ensure the fasteners are secure to the grill body.
Periodic lubrication of this mechanism will also smooth opening and closing of the grill over time.
 When moving or transporting your grill, NEVER do so by lifting on the hinge of the grill. The lower air
inlet can be used for lifting as long as gloves are used. Always use 2-3 people when moving the grill.
 Never extinguish a fire with water. Always close the lid and your air vents to control a fire inside the
unit.
 Due to the heavy nature of the kamado, always use 2-3 people when moving the unit. Never move the
unit when hot.
