SAFETY TIPS:
- When using barbecue grills on decks
or patios, be sure to leave sufficient space from siding and eaves.
- Always supervise a barbecue grill
when in use.
- Keep children and pets far away from
grills.
- With charcoal grills, only use
charcoal starter fluids designed for barbecue grills and do not add
fluid after coals have been lit.
- With gas grills, be sure that the
hose connection is tight and check hoses carefully for leaks. Applying
soapy water to the hoses will easily and safely reveal any leaks.
- Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions and have the grill repaired by a professional, if
necessary.
