WARNING
CAUTION
For Safe Use of Your Grill and to Avoid Serious
Injury:
• Do not let children operate or play near grill.
• Keep grill area clear and free from materials that
burn.
• Do not block holes in sides or back of grill.
• Check burner flames regularly.
• Use grill only in well-ventilated space. NEVER use
in enclosed space such as carport, garage, porch,
covered patio, or under an overhead structure of
any kind.
• Do not use charcoal or ceramic briquets in a gas
grill. (Unless briquets are supplied with your grill.)
• Do not cover grates with aluminum foil or any
other material. This will block burner ventilation
and create a potentially dangerous condition
resulting in property damage and/or personal
injury.
• Use grill at least 3 ft. from any wall or surface.
Maintain 10 ft. clearance to objects that can catch
fire or sources of ignition such as pilot lights on
water heaters, live electrical appliances, etc.
• Apartment Dwellers:
Check with management to learn the requirements
and fire codes for using an LP gas grill in your
apartment complex. If allowed, use outside on the
ground floor with a three (3) foot clearance from
walls or rails. Do not use on or under balconies.
• NEVER attempt to light burner with lid closed. A
buildup of non-ignited gas inside a closed grill is
hazardous.
• Never operate grill with LP cylinder out of
correct position specified in assembly
instructions.
• Always close LP cylinder valve and remove
coupling nut before moving LP cylinder from
specified operation position.
Safety Tips
s
Before opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut
for tightness.
s
When grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP
cylinder valve.
s
Never move grill while in operation or still hot.
s
Use long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to
avoid burns and splatters.
s
Maximum load for side burner and side shelf is 10 lbs.
s
The grease tray or cup must be inserted into grill and
emptied after each use. Do not remove grease tray or
cup until grill has completely cooled.
s
Clean grill often, preferably after each cookout. If a
bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking
surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking
surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean
cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
s
If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from
grill onto valve, hose or regulator, turn off gas supply at
once. Determine the cause, correct it, then clean and
inspect valve, hose and regulator before continuing.
Perform a leak test.
s
Keep ventilation openings in cylinder enclosure (grill
cart) free and clear of debris.
s
Do not store objects or materials inside the grill cart
enclosure that would block the flow of combustion air to the
underside of either the control panel or the firebox bowl.
s
The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise
during operation. This will not affect safety or use of grill.
s
If you have a grill problem see the "Troubleshooting Section".
s
If the regulator frosts, turn off grill and LP cylinder valve
immediately. This indicates a problem with the cylinder and
it should not be used on any product. Return to supplier!
• Putting out grease fires by closing the lid is not
possible. Grills are well ventilated for safety reasons.
• Do not use water on a grease fire. Personal injury
may result. If a grease fire develops, turn knobs and
LP cylinder off.
• Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or
burning off food residue on HI. If grill has not been
regularly cleaned, a grease fire can occur that may
damage the product.
