SAFETY LISTING
In accordance with the procedures and specifications listed in the UL 2728A-2019 "pellet fuel burning cooking appliances"
and ULC/ORD C2728-19 "pellet fuel burning equipment. " Pit Boss® Grills pellet cooking appliances have been inde-
pendently tested and listed by CSA (an accredited testing laboratory) to UL and ULC standards.
DANGERS AND WARNINGS
You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction, to obtain the
necessary permits, permissions, or information on any installation restrictions, such as any grill being installed on a
combustible surface, inspection requirements, or even ability to use, in your area.
1. A minimum clearance of 914mm (36 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the grill, and 914mm (36 inches) from
the back of the grill to combustible constructions must be maintained. Do not install appliance on combustible floors, or
floors protected with combustible surfaces unless proper permits and permissions are obtained by authorities having
jurisdiction. Do not use this appliance indoors, in an enclosed or unventilated area, inside homes, vehicles, tents, garages. This
hardwood pellet appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
WARNING: Be aware of building combustible material, maintain the fire to avoid over-firing. Should a grease fire occur,
turn the grill OFF and leave the lid closed until the fire is out. Unplug the power cord. Do not throw water on the unit.
Do not try to smother the fire. Use of an all-class (class ABC) approved fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on site. If an
uncontrolled fire does occur, call the Fire Department.
2. Keep electrical supply cords and the fuel away from heated surfaces. Do not use your grill in the rain or around any water source. If
the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similar qualified persons in order to avoid
a hazard.
3. After a period of storage, or non-use, check the burn pot for obstructions, the hopper for foreign objects, and any air blockage
around the fan intake or chimney. Clean before use. Regular care and maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your unit. If
the grill is stored outside during the rainy season or seasons of high humidity, care should be taken to insure that water
does not get into the hopper. When wet or exposed to high humidity, hardwood pellets will expand greatly, decompose, and may
jam the feed system. Always disconnect the power, before performing any service or maintenance.
IMPORTANT! Always power off the appliance and allow the shut-down cycle to run. Unplug the appliance only once the
shut-down cycle is complete, and/or before cleaning. Failure to follow this warning can cause damage, serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
WARNING: Do not transport your grill while in use or while the grill is hot. Ensure the fire is completely out and that the
grill is completely cool to the touch before moving.

4. It is recommended to use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating the grill. Do not use accessories not specified for
use with this appliance. Do not put a barbecue cover or anything flammable in the storage space area under the barbecue. Remove
pots and pans while the operating appliance is unattended, to reduce the risk of fire.
5. To prevent fingers, clothing, or other objects from coming in contact with the auger feed system, the appliance is equipped with a
metal safety screen, mounted to the interior of the hopper. This screen must not be removed unless directed by Customer Care or
an authorized dealer.
WARNING: This appliance is not recommended for children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are under direct supervision or instruction by a person responsible for
their safety.
6. Parts of the barbecue may be very hot, and serious injury may occur. Keep young children and pets away while in use.
7. Do not enlarge igniter holes or burn pot. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire hazard and bodily harm and will void your
warranty.
8. Product may have sharp edges or points. Contact may result in injury. Handle with care.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible
floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. When ashes are disposed by burial in soil, or
otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in a closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
HARDWOOD PELLET FUEL
This pellet cooking appliance is designed and approved for pelletized, all natural hardwood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in
this appliance will void the warranty and safety listing. Use only wood pellet fuel specified by the manufacturer. Do not use pellet fuel
labeled as having additives. Hardwood pellets are highly susceptible to moisture and should always be stored in an airtight container. If
you are storing your grill, without use, for an extended period, we recommend clearing all pellets from your grill's hopper and auger, to
prevent jams. The pellet fuel mean heating value in 18,569-20,362 KJ/KG (8,000-8,770 BTU/LB), ash content < 1%.
WARNING: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or 'freshen
up' a fire in this appliance. Keep all such liquids well away from the appliance when in use.
At the time of printing, there is no industry standard for barbecue hardwood pellets, although most pellet mills use the same standards
to make hardwood pellets for domestic use. Further information, can be found at www.pelletheat.org or the Pellet Fuel Institute.
Contact your local dealer on the quality of pellets in your area, and for information on brand quality. As there is no control over the quality
of pellets used, moisture affected pellets, we assume no responsibility to damage caused by poor quality of fuel.
Creosote - formation, and need for removal. When burning, it produces black smoke with a residue that is also black in color. When wood
pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and other organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote
vapors condense in a relatively cool oven flue and exhaust hood of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the
flue lining and exhaust hood. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The grease duct should be inspected at least twice a year to determine when the grease and/or creosote buildup has occurred. When
grease or creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of fire.
CARBON MONOXIDE
Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family or others:
• Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion.
Carbon monoxide reduces the blood's ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss of consciousness and death.
• See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of the appliance. Carbon monoxide
poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circu-
latory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.
