Safety Practices & Precautions
Tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.58 standard for outdoor cooking gas appliances. This Grill is for
OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
Check your local building codes for the proper method of installation. In the absence of local codes,
this unit should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code No. Z223.1-1988 and the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990.
• Always ensure that power is supplied to the unit before lighting by pressing and holding the rotisserie
ignition button.The hot surface igniter will glow in front of the rotisserie burner when power is
supplied to the unit. If power is not supplied, see instructions to match light burners.
• Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
• Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits
collect in the drip pan. Clean often.
• For personal safety, wear proper apparel. 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. Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for grill use. Use of these types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes.
Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the manufacturer’s directions.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill racks.This can severely upset combustion air flow
or trap excessive heat in the control area.The result of this can be melted knobs or ignition buttons.
• Use a covered hand when opening the grill lid and only do so slowly to allow heat and steam to
escape. Never lean over an open grill.
• When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain you are
pushing the ignition button labeled for the burner you intend on using.
• When using the grill: do not touch the grill rack, burner grate or immediate surrounding area as these
areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.
• Use only dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause 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 or burner grate.
• When using the open top burners always use flat bottomed utensils which are large enough to cover
the burner. Adjust the flame so that it heats only the bottom of the pan to avoid ignition of clothing.
Position handles inward away from open edges of the unit to avoid burns associated with uninten-
tional spillovers. For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep the ports clean. It is
necessary to clean them periodically for optimum performance.
• Clean the grill with caution. Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using
any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the grill.The chemical that produces the spraying action
could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
WARNING:
Insect warning spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this and any other grill, and
cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner.This is a very dangerous condition which
can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it
unsafe to operate.
