MUST be replaced with a genuine Jackson Grills replacement part, prior to using this outdoor cooking gas appliance 
(Contact your nearest dealer for assistance).

Unplug electrical equipment from the outlet when not in use, and before cleaning. Allow appliance to cool before 
putting on or taking off parts. 
 

26 

Do not operate any outdoor cooking gas appliance with a damaged cord, plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or 
has been damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer for repair. 
 

27 

Never remove the grounding plug or use with an adapter of 2 prongs, and; 
 

28 

Use only extension cords with a 3 prong grounding plug, rated for the power of the electrical equipment, and 
approved for outdoor use with a W-A marking.

Do not use this grill until it is COMPLETELY assembled, all parts are securely installed, and leak testing has been 
completed. 
 

30 

Before using this outdoor cooking gas appliance, inspect the burners to ensure that they are correctly inserted over 
the orifices. Inspect by using a flashlight to view the burner inlets from underneath the front console. When correctly 
positioned, the gas valves outlets (with the orifices) will be inserted into the burner inlets. If necessary, remove and 
reinstall burner(s) correctly. (See Assembly Section, p.7 for more details). 
 

31 

Do not attempt to move this grill while lit. Always position your grill on a hard level surface away from any 
combustible materials, including wood, flammable liquids or vapors, plastics, etc.

gear. (Pot holders, gloves, BBQ mittens, etc.) 
 

35 

It is essential to keep the grill clean and free of obstructions and debris. Check burner/Venturi tubes regularly for 
insects and insect nests; a clogged burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the grill. 
 

36 

Do not alter this grill in any manner.
