SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
y
Certain Liquid Propane dealers may fill liquid propane cylinders for use in the grill beyond
cylinder filling capacity. This “overfilling” may create a dangerous condition. “Overfilled” tanks
can build up excess pressure. As a safety device, the tank pressure relief valve will vent propane
gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure. This vapor is combustible and therefore can be ignited.
To reduce this danger, you should take the following safety precautions:
y
When you have your tank filled, be sure you tell the supplier to fill it to no more than
3/4
(75%)
of its total capacity.
y
If you own or use a spare tank, or have a disconnected tank, you should NEVER store it near
or under the grill unit or heat box, or near any other ignition or heat source. A metallic sticker
with this warning is provided with the grill. Install this sticker close to your barbeque grill.
y
Do not store a full tank in direct sunlight.
y
Push in and turn the selected control knob to HI/SEAR position. Release the knob when the
burner lights. If burner does not light in four to five seconds, turn knob “OFF” and wait five
minutes before trying again so any accumulated gas may dissipate.
y
Before each use, inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas “ON”. If there is
evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use.
y
Follow the installation instructions within this manual. Have your grill installed by a qualified
installer. Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut-off valve is located so that you
know where and how to shut off the gas to the grill. If the connections are not perfectly sealed,
you can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell. Some leaks can only be found with the
burner control in the “ON” position - this must be done by a qualified technician.
y
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. When in use, portions of the
grill get hot enough to cause severe burns.
y
Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill.
y
Clean and perform general maintenance on the grill twice a year. Watch for corrosion, cracks,
or insect activity. Check the regulator, hoses, burner ports, air shutter, and venturi/valve section
carefully. Always turn off gas at the source (tank or supply line) prior to inspecting parts.
y
Never use the grill burners while the rotisserie burner is lit.
