READ THIS CARE AND USE MANUAL CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY BEFORE USING YOUR
GRILL TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, BURN HAZARD OR OTHER INJURY. KEEP THIS
MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
When properly cared for, your ARTISAN™ Grill will give safe, reliable service for many years. However,
extreme care must be used since the grill produces intense heat, which can increase accident potential.
When using this appliance, basic safety practices must be followed, including but not limited to the
following:
Begin by ensuring proper assembly. A qualified technician should perform all other service.
All other service should be referred to and performed by a qualified technician.
For personal safety, wear proper apparel while barbecuing.
Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance.
Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any
grate, burner or hot surface until it has cooled down sufficiently. Fabrics may ignite and result in
personal injury.
Use only dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause personal burns from
steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot
portions of the grill rack.
Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for grill use. These types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only
on low or medium heat settings and according to their manufacturer’s directions.
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.
Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the bottom of the grill by cleaning the grease tray often.
Never while grill is on or hot from recent use; pan will not come out.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the grill racks, nor to line the drip tray. This can severely upset
combustion airflow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted knobs,
igniters and increased chance of personal injury. Never grill without the drip pan in place and pushed
all the way to the back of the grill. Without the drip pan, hot grease can leak downward creating a fire
or explosion hazard.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Never allow
them to sit, stand or play on or around the grill. Do not store items of interest to children around or
below the grill or in the cart. Never allow children to crawl inside of the cart.
Do not heat unopened food containers that may cause the container to build-up pressure and burst.
Protect your hand when opening a hot grill lid. Never lean over an open hot grill.
