Your charcoal grill lights DIFFERENTLY from other grills
You must follow the included lighting instructions (pg.14) in order to prevent damage to your grill and
to achieve desired lighting results.
Do not! use gasoline, alcohol or other highly volatile uids to ignite or “freshen up” charcoal.
When opening your grill at high temperature (400OF+), it is important to “burp” the lid then slowly
open to prevent burn back. Failure to do this could result in serious injury.
Keep your charcoal DRY
Do not use wet charcoal. Keep your charcoal stored in a dry environment where it can’t absorb
moisture. Wet or damp charcoal will take longer to light and reduce performance.
After rst use, inspect all fasteners for tightness
The metal band on the Black Olive is designed to keep the top of your grill secure. Due to temperature
changes causing expansion and contraction, checking the tightness of these ttings after the rst few
uses is highly recommended.
DO NOT use water to clean the inside of your grill
The ceramics are porous and will absorb the water. Your grill is self-cleaning. Simply close the lid after
use, allowing any food residue to burn off and carbonize. At the beginning of your next cook, scrape
off the carbon remnants from the cooking surface with a wire brush.
The ceramics shell will also absorb moisture from the air, please keep a cover on grill when not in use.
The more water that the ceramic has absorbed the longer it will take to heat up.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
Never touch the grill, charcoal grate, ashes, charcoal or the barbecue to see if they are hot. When
cooking with a charcoal grill, use appropriate protection and tools to avoid burning injuries. Do not
attempt to move a hot barbecue, Allow the grill to cool before moving.
Do not use water to control are-ups or to extinguish charcoal, as it may damage the ceramic shell.
Extinguish coals by closing cap and air control damper.
Disposal of ashes
Do not remove ashes until all charcoal is completely extinguished and grill is cool. Ashes should be
placed in a metal container with a tight-tting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on
a non-combustible surface well away from all combustible materials, pending nal disposal.
Any servicing on the Black Olive Charcoal Grill should be preformed by an authorized
service representative, please contact your local Black Olive dealer.
