8. Always check for gas leaks when you connect and disconnect the regulator
to the gas cylinder, especially after a period of storage (for example, over
winter). Check all connections for leaks with a soapy water solution and
brush. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
9. Clean and inspect the gas regulator before each use of the outdoor cooking gas
appliance. Replace the gas regulator prior to being used if there is evidence of
excessive abrasion or wear. Use only the gas regulator assembly that has been
supplied with this gas griddle. Do not use a regulator from another manufacturer.
Do not use lava rock, wood chunks, charcoal, lighter fluid,
alcohol or other similar chemicals for lighting or relighting.
Keep all such substances and liquids well away from appliance
when in use.
10. Operate this appliance using liquefied petroleum only, which is also
specified on the rating label on the unit. Do not attempt to operate your
griddle on other gases. Do not attempt to convert this LP unit to natural
gas. Failure to follow this warning could lead to fire, bodily harm, and will
void your warranty.
PROPANE GAS WARNINGS
1. Ensure the gas cylinder is purchased by a reputable supplier. An incorrectly
filled or an overfilled LP tank can be dangerous. The overfilled condition
combined with the warming of the LP gas tank (a hot summer day, tank
left in the sun, etc.) can cause LP gas to be released since the temperature
increase causes gas to expand. Gas released from the cylinder is flammable
and can be explosive.
2. Do not use an LP gas cylinder if it has a damaged valve or shows signs of
dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, corrosion, leakage, excessive rust, or
other forms of visual external damage; it may be hazardous and should be
checked immediately by a liquid propane supplier.
If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of gas escaping from the
cylinder, do not attempt to light appliance. Extinguish any
open flame. Disconnect from fuel supply.
3. Do not connect or disconnect the gas cylinder while the unit is in use or is still hot.
When griddle is not in use, ensure regulator knob is turned to OFF and disconnect
the gas cylinder. Never move or transport the unit while the gas cylinder is
attached. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near the appliance.
