LIGhTING ThE ChARCOAL
See Figures 16 - 18.
Your grill has a convenient charcoal starting system. Using
this system helps the briquettes heat faster and more evenly
than if they were spread out across the grate.
The first time you use your newly purchased grill, it is
recommended that you light some charcoal in the basket
and leave the hood closed for 30 minutes or longer before
cooking.
NOTE: Never lean over the grill while lighting charcoal.
Completely fill the paper basket with scrunched paper.
You may also use a purchased firestarter on the pad inside
the paper basket. Place the paper basket into the ash
canister and install onto the firebox. See Installing the
Ash Canister in the Assembly section of this manual.
Remove the hood and rotate the ash canister to the right
so that the vent holes are open.
Remove the grate insert.
Fill the charcoal basket with the desired quantity of
charcoal briquettes.
Using a lighted fireplace match or grill lighter, insert the
flame into one of the firebox vent holes, around the top
of the ash canister.
When the paper or firestarter ignites the charcoal, allow
it to burn until it reaches the desired stage for cooking.
When the charcoal is ready for cooking, use the insert
removal tool to slowly remove the hot charcoal basket.
The coals will spread across the charcoal grate.
NOTE: Gently shake the charcoal basket before lifting it
to make sure the coals will be evenly distributed onto the
grate.
WARNING:
The charcoal basket and grate insert will remain hot for
some time after they are removed from the grate. Set a
hot charcoal basket or grate insert on a non-flammable
surface. Do not place it on plastic or wood. Make sure
not to put the hot accessories where people or pets will
come in contact with it.
WARNING:
Use heat-resistant oven mitts to handle the insert
removal tool when the grill is hot. The use of the tool
over a hot grill can result in serious personal injury.
