Warnings and Safety
•Always place Grill on a hard, level surface far away from combustibles. An asphalt or blacktop
surface may not be acceptable for this purpose.
•Do not place this Grill on any type of tabletop surface. It is not a tabletop Grill.
Safe Use of LP (Propane) GAS
Liquid Propane (LP) is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become aware of its
characteristics before using any LP product.
LP Characteristics:
•Flammable, explosive under pressure, heavier than air, and settles and pools in low areas.
•In its natural state propane has no odor. For your safety, an odorant is added that smells like rotten
cabbage.
•Contact with LP can cause freeze burns to the skin.
DANGER:
•Never install a propane cylinder that is more than 80% full, as the contents may lack adequate
room for expansion when exposed to heat.
Propane vapor may then be vented through the
pressure release valve, which could accumulate and later result in a fire or explosion in
which death or serious injury may occur. Always instruct your certified propane fuel supplier to
confirm by weight that your cylinder is not more than 80% full. An empty cylinder will weight about
18 lbs, while a properly filled cylinder should weigh no more than 38lbs.
•Never store a spare Propane Cylinder in the cylinder compartment of this Grill.
Exposing a
disconnected cylinder to heat could result in the venting of propane vapor through the pressure
release valve, and the pooled vapor could result in a violent fire in which death or serious injury
may occur. (No hazard is posed by the connected cylinder if it is not overfilled, however, as it
tends to refrigerate itself while being used.)
•
Always confirm that all openings in the cylinder compartment of this Grill are free of any
obstructions hat would restrict the circulation of ventilation air. Good ventilation will prevent the
pooling of leaked propane vapor, which is heavier than air, and which could explore if ignited.
NOTE:
Always have a certified propane gas supplier inspect and re-qualify your refillable propane gas
cylinder prior to each refilling, in accordance with DOT or TC requirements for propane cylinders
