IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

 

Please review these important safety precautions before you use your grill and read the 

Owner

s Manual fully and carefully.  Failure to follow the instructions, guidelines, and 

restrictions in the manual can result in a fire or other injury causing death or serious 

personal injury or property damage. 

 

In General

 

1.

 

Never leave the grill unattended while cooking.

 

2.

 

Make sure you have an ABC fire extinguisher accessible when you grill. Do not at-

tempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or liquids.

 

3.

 

Place your grill away from areas where children play and never leave children alone 

or unattended in an area where a grill is located.

 

4.

 

Keep the area in which your grill is located clear and free from combustible material, 

gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

 

5.

 

Always maintain the required clearances from the sides and back of your grill to 

combustible construction.  Do not operate the grill under overhead combustible con-

struction.

 

6.

 

Your grill should only be used outdoors and should not be used in a building, gar-

age, or any other enclosed area.

 

7.

 

Your grill is not design or certified for, and should not be installed in or on, recrea-

tional vehicles or boats.

 

8.

 

Never operate your grill while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

 

9.

 

Do not use your grill unless a leak test has been performed on all gas connections.  

If the gas hose shows excessive abrasion or wear or if it is cut, it must be replaced 

prior to using your grill.

 

10.

 

Keep any electrical supply cords and the fuel supply hose away from any heated 

surfaces.

 

11.

 

Follow the lighting and operation instructions in this manual explicitly.

 

12.

 

Always keep the hood of your grill open while lighting the grill. Releasing gas into a 

closed grill before lighting will increase the risk of an explosion which could lead to 

property damage, serious injury, or death.

 

13.

 

If a burner does not light or goes out while you are using your grill, turn off all the 

burner control knobs, open the hood, and wait 5 minutes before attempting to re-

light.

 

14.

 

Do not block the flow of combustion and ventilation air to your grill and keep the 

ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.   

 

15.

 

Do not touch the grill grates, hood or immediate surrounding metal surfaces before, 

during, and after grilling until you have allowed your grill to cool.

 

16.

 

Never move your grill while it is hot.

 

17.

 

Always open the grill hood slowly to allow heat and smoke to escape gradually.

 

18.

 

Check the orifices and burner venturi tubes regularly for insects and insect nests.  A 

clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the grill.  To check for insect nest, remove 

the control knobs and the front control panel of your grill (see figure 1). Disconnect
