Safety Precautions

SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID 

PERSONAL INJURY

When properly cared for, your SOLAIRE
INFRARED Grill will give safe, reli-
able service for many years. However,
extreme care must be used since the grill
produces intense heat, which can increase
accident potential. When using this
appliance, basic safety practices must
be followed, including the following:

Read this Care and Use Manual 
carefully and completely before 
using your grill to reduce the risk 
of fire, burn hazard or other injury.

Begin by ensuring proper assembly.

Do not repair or replace any part of the
grill unless specifically recommended in
this manual. All other service should be
referred to a qualified technician.

For personal safety, wear proper apparel.
Loose fitting garments or sleeves should
never be worn while using this appliance.
Some synthetic fabrics are highly flam-
mable and should not be worn while
cooking. Never let clothing, pot holders or
other flammable materials come in contact
with or too close to any grate, burner or
hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric
may ignite and result in personal injury.

Use only dry potholders: moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may cause
burns from steam. Do not use a towel or
bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not
let potholders touch hot portions of the
grilling grids.

Only certain types of glass, heatproof
glass ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for grill use.
Use of these types of materials may
break with sudden temperature changes.

Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool
before attempting to handle it. Avoid
letting grease deposits collect in the
bottom of the grill. Clean often.

Do not use aluminum foil to line the grilling
grids or grill bottom. This can severely
upset combustion airflow or trap excessive
heat in the control area. The result of
this can be melted knobs, igniters and
increased chance of personal injury.

Children should not be left alone or
unattended in an area where the grill is
being used. Never allow them to sit, stand
or play on or around the grill at any time.
Do not store items of interest to children
around or below the grill.

Do not heat unopened food containers
as a build-up of pressure may cause the
container to burst.

Use a covered hand when opening the
grill lid. Never lean over an open grill.

When lighting a burner, always pay close
attention to what you are doing. Be certain
you are depressing the igniter button.

When using the grill: do not touch the
grilling grids, burner, casing or immediate
surrounding area as these areas become
extremely hot and could cause burns.

For proper lighting and performance of
the burner, keep the ports clean. The
burner will only operate in one position
and must be mounted correctly for safe
operation.

Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam
burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth
to clean the grill while it is hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes or can
ignite if applied to a hot surface.
