To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from explosion or fire:
• Be careful when burning charcoal to avoid getting burned from flame, heat or hot coals.
• Be aware of the wind blown sparks.
• The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs could impair the consumer’s ability to properly assemble
or safely operate this appliance.
USING CHARCOAL
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from explosion or fire:
• Locate your grill in an open area away from buildings, dry leaves, or brush, and at least 10 feet away from your
house or building.
• Always make sure the grill is on a level, stable surface and not tilted toward the front or back.
• Do not use the grill in a garage, breezeway, carport, porch, high traffic area, on or under any surface that can
catch fire.
• Do not use a charcoal grill indoors, on recreational vehicles, or on boats.
SELECTING A LOCATION
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from explosion or fire:
• Make certain you leave the Hood and Body off until the flames have died down.
• Should electrically operated starters be used, be sure they are properly grounded according to local codes.
Electrical cords should be placed away from walkways or traffic areas.
• Do not use lighter fluid, an electric fire starter solid, or chimney starters with instant light charcoal. This could
cause flame-ups, unpleasant fumes and odors.
• Use barbecue mitts and long handled tongs to spread out the hot charcoal.
• If there is any type of fire that threatens either personal safety or property, call the fire department.
STARTING A FIRE
To reduce risk of burns from the hot air and steam trapped inside, open the Hood carefully when grill roasting.
• Do not grasp the Cooking Grid with your hands while it is hot. Use barbecue mitts for handling.
• If flare-ups occur, close the Vents for at least one minute to stop flare-up. Do not use water.
COOKING ON YOUR GRILL
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death:
• Allow the grill to cool completely before cleaning, transporting or storing.
• Empty and clean the Fire Bowl after each cooking session so excessive grease and ashes do not accumulate. See
Cleaning instructions on next page.
• Store your charcoal grill in a cool dry place.
• Do not store charcoal and lighter fluid indoors.
• Store out of the reach of children.
• Do not store additional charcoal and lighter fluid under or near the grill while it is hot.
• To avoid a fire or explosion, do not store charcoal or lighter fluid near a heat source.
• Always cap the lighter fluid when not in use.
END OF COOKING SESSION
LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE:
You now own a Combination Water Smoker and Portable Grill which can meet all your Barbecuing needs in ONE unit.
It’s a: Water Smoker for at home slow cooking of large meats such as turkeys, chicken, ribs, roasts, ham or game.
Or in just a few seconds, without any tools,
converts to a Portable Grill, for camping or picnic, to cook steaks, chicken, hamburgers or hot dogs.
Both Models, the 5030 Electric and 5031 Charcoal, are convertible. Also featured in these units is the Meco Three-
Way Lock. This system locks the smoker body to the bowl, or when using as a portable grill, locks the hood to the bowl
allowing the “Lock-n-Go” portable grill to be carried by the handle.
The Model 5031 Charcoal unit can also be converted to Electric 5030 with the purchase of a Model 1519 Electric Ele-
ment Kit. The Model 1511 Charcoal Kit is available for replacement or converting Electric to Charcoal.
