WARNINGS
Do not use this appliance under overhead combustible surface or covered area (e.g., awnings, umbrellas, porches or
gazeboes).

from any combustible materials or surface before lighting it, and that no gasoline
or other volatile substances are stored in the vicinity of this grill. (See diagram to right).
The temperature of a grease fire or of the radiated heat might otherwise be
sufficient to ignite nearby combustible or volatile substances.
Always locate this grill where there will be ample combustion and ventilation air, but
never position it in the direct path of a strong wind.
Never allow the grill to operate while unattended, to prevent uncontrolled
grease fires from erupting.
Never attempt to move this grill while it is in operation or while it is still hot, to prevent possible personal injury.
Never store or use gasoline or other flammable or volatile substances in the vicinity of this grill or in the vicinity of any other
heating-generating appliance, because of the danger of starting a fire.
