CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Precautions
WHEN USING THE GRILL, DO NOT TOUCH THE GRILL RACK, BURNER GRATE OR IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS
WHICH BECOME EXTREMLY HOT DURING USE AND CAN CAUSE BURNS.
AVOID ALLOWING EXCESS GREASE TO COLLECT IN THE GREASE TRAY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GRILL FIREBOX.
CLEAN THE GREASE TRAY OFTEN.
FOR PROPER BURNER LIGHTING AND PERFORMANCE, KEEP THE BURNER PORTS CLEAN. IT IS NECESSARY TO
CLEAN THEM PERIODICALLY FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE.
CLEAN THE GRILL WITH CAUTION. TURN OFF ALL CONTROL KNOBS AND MAKE SURE THE GRILL IS COOL BEFORE
CLEANING. WHEN USING AEROSOL SPRAY TO CLEAN BURNERS, BE VERY CAREFUL. ENSURE THAT THE
EQUIPMENT IS COOL BEFORE USING AN AEROSOL SPRAY AS THE PRESENCE OF HEAT COULD CAUSE IT TO
CORRODE OR LIGHT THE EQUIPMENT ON FIRE.
DO NOT USE THE GRILL FOR COOKING EXCESSIVELY FATTY MEATS OR PRODUCTS WHICH CAN CAUSE
FLARE-UPS. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL UNDER UNPROTECTED COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION. USE ONLY IN
WELL VENTILATED AREAS. DO NOT USE IN BUILDINGS, GARAGES, SHEDS, BREEZEWAYS OR OTHER SUCH
ENCLOSED AREAS. THIS UNIT IS FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASHBACK
CAUTION: SPIDERS AND SMALL INSECTS OCCASIONALLY SPIN WEBS OR MAKE NESTS IN THE GRILL BURNER
TUBES DURING TRANSIT AND WAREHOUSING. THESE WEBS CAN LEAD TO GAS FLOW OBSTRUCTION, WHICH
COULD RESULT IN A FIRE IN AND AROUND BURNER TUBES. THIS TYPE OF FIRE IS KNOWN AS
“
FLASH-BACK
”
AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR GRILL AND CREATE AN UNSAFE OPERATING CONDITION FOR THE
USER.
ALTHOUGH AN OBSTRUCTED BURNER TUBE IS NOT THE ONLY CAUSE OF
“FLASH-BACK,” IT IS THE MOST
COMMON CAUSE.
TO REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF
“
FLASH-BACK
” YOU MUST CLEAN THE BURNER TUBES.
