CAUTION
Safety Information
HINGE
Do not attempt to disassemble the hinge or loosen bands from your grill without
the hinge disengagement tool kit.
NOTE:
Hinge disengagement tool kit (spacer, washer, and hex nut are
included). Store these parts in case the hinge needs to be removed later.
The hinge cannot be removed safely without these parts.
Use the bottom face and the front lower vent opening as lifting points (Do
not lift the grill by the hinge, bands brackets or handle as this could cause
the dome to become dislodged from the band).
Only minor adjustments to the weight of the dome should be made per the
instructions on page 16.
GASKET
Self-cleaning through natural heat cycle recommended.
Do not use chemical based cleaners on the gasket.
If absolutely necessary, gently wipe off any spills or moisture. Do not scrub or
abrade the gasket if cleaning. Excessive rubbing can cause wear.
Hinge and band is under high tension, failure to follow instruction steps in order
may result in severe injury.
Latch Adjustments
CLASSIC II LATCH
The latch on your Classic II is already preset for an ultra-tight seal.
Use these instructions if any adjustments should be needed.
To tighten and loosen the latch setting, use a small Allen wrench. Adjust the
set screw to lower the latch plate and add the spacer. Once the spacer is added,
reinstall the latch plate by tightening the set screw.
