Important Safety Rules

It is important to follow these rules to avoid fire hazard, property damage or bodily injury from
improper installation or usage of the grill. For safety, READ all rules carefully and check local codes.

It is prohibited to install the grill in recreational vehicles/mobile homes, trailers, boats, etc. The grill
is for outdoor installation and use only.

Ensure proper installation by following the installation instructions. Make sure to know where the
gas supply shut-off valve is located. It should be readily and easily accessible.

Check all gas line joints & connections for gas leak with soap water solution.

Never check gas leak with an open flame.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the grill unless specifically recommended in this
manual. All other services should be performed by a qualified service technician.

Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or near the appliance. Do not wear loose-
fitting clothes or long sleeves while using the grill as some fabrics may be highly flammable.

Children should be carefully supervised when they are in the vicinity of the grill. Do not allow them
to get close while in use. Items of interest to children should not be stored in or around the grill in
the cabinet or in the masonry enclosure. Portions of the grill can be extremely hot while in use and
can cause severe burns.

Protect your hand with a glove or mitt when opening and operating the grill. Open grill lid slowly to
allow heat and smoke to escape before fully opening.

Never use aluminum foil to line the crumb pan or grill racks. This can alter airflow for proper
combustion and also build up heat in the control area causing the knobs and igniters to melt.

Grease is highly flammable. Allow hot grease to cool down before attempting to handle it. Clean
grease tray often so that grease does not accumulate and stay in it.

Do not use the grill in a windy area.

Do not obstruct the flow of air into the front of the grill.

The grill should be installed facing towards the prevailing winds to help eliminate drafts from behind
which can heat up the control panel and controls.

Always keep your grill CLEAN to eliminate grease fires which are dangerous.
Important Information Regarding Gas Connections

Check gas type – use only the type of gas indicated in the rating plate.

Do NOT connect an unregulated gas source to the appliance. You MUST use the regulator(s) that are
supplied with this appliance.

Safe and satisfactory operation depends to a great extent on the proper installation of the
appliance. The installation must comply with the local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with
either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CGA – B149.1 or 149.2.

Installer supplied manual gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location in the
gas supply line ahead of the pressure regulator (4”W.C.).

The outdoor cooking gas appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2
Psi (3.5kPa). Over-pressure will cause the valves to fail!

The outdoor cooking gas appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 Psi (3.5kPa).

The supply line must be sized and installed to provide a sufficient supply of gas to meet the
maximum demand of the grill without undue loss of pressure. The sealant used on the threaded
joints of the gas pipe must be a type resistant to the action of LP gases.
