SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack,
burner grate or immediate surroundings as these
areas become extremely hot and could cause
burns. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may cause steam burns.
Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of
potholders. Do not allow potholders to touch hot
portions of the grill rack.
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before
attempting to handle it. Do not allow grease
deposits to collect in the grease tray at the bottom
of the grill’s firebox. Clean the grease tray often.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the grill racks or
grill bottom. This can severely upset combustion air
flow or trap excessive heat in the control area.
For proper lighting and performance of the burners,
keep the burner ports clean. It is necessary to clean
them periodically for optimum performance. The
burners will only operate in one position and must
be mounted correctly for safe operation.
Clean the grill with caution. To avoid steam burns,
do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill
while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
INSECT WARNING
Spiders and other insects can nest inside the
burners of this and other grills, which could disrupt
gas flow. This dangerous condition could cause a
fire behind and beneath the valve panel, damaging
the grill and making it unsafe for operation.
Inspect the grill at least twice a year.
Never use a dented or rusty propane cylinder.
Turn off all control knobs and make certain the grill
is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on
or around it. The chemical that produces the
spraying action could, in the presence of heat,
ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
Do not use the grill to cook excessively fatty meats
or other products which promote flare-ups.
Do not operate the grill under unprotected
combustible constructions. Use only in well
ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages,
sheds, breezeways or other such enclosed areas.
This unit is intended for outdoor use only.
Keep the areas surrounding the grill free from
combustible materials including, fluids, trash, and
vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do
not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air. If the unit is stored indoors, make sure it is cool.
Do not use briquettes of any kind in the grill.
The 720-0171 liquid propane gas grill is designed
for optimum performance without the use of
briquettes. Do not place briquettes on the flame
tamers as this will block the vent to the grill burners.
Adding briquettes can damage ignition components
and knobs, thus voiding the warranty.
Keep the back of the cart free and clear from
debris. Keep electrical supply cords and the
rotisserie motor cord away from heated areas of the
grill.
Never use the grill in extremely windy conditions. If
located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront,
mountaintop, etc.), a windbreak will be required.
Always adhere to the clearance specifications.
PLACEMENT OF THE GRILL
LOCATION
When determining a suitable location take into
account concerns such as exposure to wind,
proximity to traffic paths, and keeping gas supply
lines as short as possible.
Place the grill in well-ventilated areas. Never place
the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or
other such enclosed areas. During heavy use, the
grill will produce a lot of smoke.
CLEARANCE
Non-Combustible Construction
A minimum of 3 inches clearance from the back
of the grill to non-combustible materials are
required for the lid to open fully.
WARNING
Do not install this unit into combustible
enclosures. There should be a minimum
clearance of 24 inches from all sides to
combustible materials.
