- Place your Flatpit at least 10 feet away from walls and deck railings to prevent fires from igniting buildings. Keep your grill away from decorations, such as hanging plants and umbrellas. Keep fires away from trees, brush or dried grass.
- Never grill indoors or in confined areas. Charcoal grills produce carbon monoxide fumes that are fatal in areas without ventilation.
- Keep a fire extinguisher nearby, and know how to use it.
- Never leave a grill burning unattended.
- Grease can cause flare-up fires. Keep your Flatpit clean by removing grease and fat build-up from the grill and grill trays and panels.
- Avoid having fires in high winds.
- Always wear the included grilling gloves while using your Flatpit. It will get hot during use as will the tools used along with it.
- Do not attempt to move a Flatpit while the grill is hot and still contains coal, wood or hot ash.
- If the flame on your grill goes out when using the propane accessory, turn the grill and gas off. Wait at least 15 minutes before relighting and always make sure your grill lid is open before igniting.
- Run a soap solution – one part liquid soap, one part water – along hoses and at connections. If the solution bubbles, then there is a gas leak that needs repair.
- Store propane tanks outside and away from your home or vehicle. Always check to ensure that valves are turned off. This will help ensure that you grill safely.
