nets or areas.
Exercise caution when opening the hood. Let hot air
•
or steam escape before looking or reaching inside.

Clean the appliance thoroughly before operating it
•
for the first time.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages on
•
the outdoor grill or its chassis. Doing so blocks air
flow and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

fire hazard. Keep all slots, holes and passages clear
of grease and grime.

birds. Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated
area during cooking.
Make sure that all of the appliance’s parts are dry

ard or damage to the unit if a burner is accidentally
burned on with the cover in place.
