II GETTING STARTED
PICKING A LOCATION:
Your PORTA-GRILL
is manufactured for use outdoors only! Any grill, charcoal or gas, produces carbon
monoxide while in operation and this gas should not be allowed to accumulate in a confined area. Never
operate the grill inside your home, garage, recreational vehicle or any enclosed area. The installation must
conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z233.1,
National Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2 as
applicable.
When locating your grill, choose a safe outdoor location away from flammable or combustible surfaces. Locate
your grill a minimum of 30 inches from any combustible surface above, behind or to the sides. Never operate
your grill on a combustible surface. The PORTA-GRILL
is intended for mobile, non-permanent installation
only.
CAUTION:
Never operate your grill under overhangs or awnings. When possible, adjust your grill’s
position to reduce the likelihood of wind blowing directly onto it.
As your grill uses gas, it requires air to burn with it. Do not locate your grill in such a manner or otherwise
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the grill.
WARNING: For your safety, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this unit or any other appliance. Failure to follow this warning could
lead to a fire, explosion and bodily harm.
It is important for the proper operation of the grill that it be located on a level surface and out of traffic paths.
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 at any time.
The grill surfaces become very hot during use. Use hot pads or oven mitts to protect hands and arms. For
personal safety, wear proper apparel.
Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while
cooking. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
