garage, screened-in porch, gazebo or any other enclosed area.
• This gas grill must not be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
• Do not locate unit in windy settings. High winds adversely affect the cooking performance of the gas grill.
• Under no circumstances should this gas grill be modified.
• Do not operate unit under overhead combustible construction.
• Maintain proper clearance to combustibles, (24” (610mm) to rear of unit, 7” (178mm) to sides). Additional
clearance is recommended near vinyl siding or panes of glass.
• At all times keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
• Gas must be turned off at the propane cylinder or at the natural gas supply valve when the gas grill is not in use.
• Keep children and pets away from hot grill, DO NOT allow children to climb inside cabinet.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• If the enclosure is to house a propane cylinder, the tank portion of the enclosure must be ventilated according to
local codes, and must not have communication with the cavity used to enclose the gas grill. A propane tank can
not be stored below the gas grill.
• Do not attempt to use a cylinder that is not equipped with a QCC1 type connection.
• When the propane cylinder is connected to the appliance, the gas grill and cylinder must be stored outdoors in a
well-ventilated space.
• When the gas grill is to be stored indoors, the connection between the propane cylinder and the gas grill must be
disconnected and the cylinder removed and stored outdoors in a well ventilated space out of reach of children.
Disconnected cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area. Natural gas units
must be disconnected from the supply when being stored indoors.
• Inspect the gas supply hose before each use. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear or the hose
is cut, it must be replaced prior to using the gas grill with a replacement hose assembly specified by the grill
manufacturer.
• Leak test the unit before initial use, annually, and whenever any gas components are replaced.
• Follow lighting instructions carefully when operating grill.
• Burner controls must be off when turning supply cylinder valve on.
• The lid is to be closed during the gas grill preheating period.
• Do not leave grill unattended when operating.
• Do not light burners with lid closed.
• Do not operate rear burner with main burners operating.
• Do not move grill when hot or operating.
• Keep any electrical supply cord and gas supply hose away from any heated surfaces.
• Ensure sear plates are positioned properly according to sear plate installation instructions. The holes must be
towards the front of the gas grill (if applicable).
• Clean grease tray and sear plates regularly to avoid build-up, which could lead to grease fires.
• Remove warming rack before lighting rear burner. The extreme heat will damage the warming rack.
• Inspect infrared burner venturi tube for spider webs and other obstructions periodically. Clean the tubes
completely if you find any such obstructions.
• Do not allow cold water (rain, sprinkler, hose, etc.) to come in contact with ceramic burners. A large temperature
differential can cause cracking in the ceramic tile.
• Do not use a pressure washer to clean any part of the unit.
• The outdoor cooking gas grill and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 0.5psi (3.5kPa).
• The outdoor cooking gas grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
