Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20160628-CF241-2147417437. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Weber Spirit (Webber spirit grill). Incident: My grill was delivered and set up by Lowes. No problem the first time. The second time, I preheated the grill according to directions to 500 degrees. I than took brush to clean grill. I didn't realize that the warming shelf was not fastened down, hit it, and sent it sailing. I had to do a lot of dodging to keep from being hurt. The shelf landed on a rug that I had in front of grill and burned three lines in it. This shelf should be fastened down to be safe. If I didn't have good reflexes, I would have been seriously burned.
