Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
When property cared for, your new appliance has been designed to be
safe and reliable. Read all instructions carefully before use. These pre-
cautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire and injury to
persons. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must
be followed, including those in the following pages.
Gas Appliance Safety
WARNING:
If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a
fire or explosion may result causing property damage, per-
sonal injury or death.
Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
Do not try to light any appliance.
Do not touch any electrical switch.
Do not use any phone in your building.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire depart-
ment.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified in-
staller, authorized service agency or the gas supplier.

Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is
located.
If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and
doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the appliance.
If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of
checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly
tight, you can have a small leak and, therefore, a faint
smell. Finding a gas leak is not a
“DO-IT-YOURSELF”
procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner
control in the
“ON”
position and this must be done by a
qualified service technician. See
“WHAT TO DO IF YOU
SMELL GAS”
on page 2.
To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block appli-
ance air vents.
For proper lighting and performance of burners, keep ig-
niters clean and dry.
Warning:
Gas leaks cannot always be detected by smell. Gas
suppliers recommend that you use a gas detector approved by
UL or CSA.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or
damage when using the grill, follow basic precautions, includ-
ing the following:
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning and overheating of the grill.
CAUTION:
Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above the grill—children climbing on the grill to
reach items could be seriously injured.
Proper installation—The grill, when installed, must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA70 or Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1.
Be sure the grill is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
This grill is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug
for your protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a proper grounded receptacle. Do not
cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the grill.
Injuries may result from the misuse of the grill such as
stepping, leaning, or sitting on the top surface.
Maintenance—Keep grill area clear and free from combus-
tible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
