DANGER

• 

Never install a free-standing outdoor propane Grill in an “island” configuration,

 (i.e. where it is enclosed in 

any type of construction), to prevent a fire or gas explosion.

 

Never use this outdoor Grill inside any building, garage, shed or breezeway, or inside any boat, trailer

 or rec-

reational vehicle, to prevent a possible fire and to prevent the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning or asphyxia-

tion.

• 

Never attempt to light the Grill while the lid is closed,

 to prevent the accumulation of gas and a possible fire or 

explosion.

• 

Never stand directly over the Grill while lighting it to avoid exposure to a possible flare-up.

WARNING

 

Always confirm that this Grill is not positioned under

 

a combustible object (e.g., an awning or umbrella) or in 

a covered area (e.g., a porch or gazebo) before lighting 

it, to prevent a possible fire.

 

Always confirm that this Grill is not positioned un-

der

 the overhang of a house, a garage or other structure 

before lighting it. An overhang will serve to deflect flare-

ups and radiated heat into the structure itself, which 

could result in a fire.

 

Always confirm that this Grill is positioned more than

 

36” (914 mm) away from any combustible materials or 

surfaces before lighting it, and that no gasoline or other 

volatile substances are stored in the vicinity of this Grill. 

The temperature of a grease fire or of the radiated heat 

might otherwise be sufficient to ignite nearby combustibles 

or volatile substances.   

 

Always  locate  this  Grill  where  there  will  be  ample

 

combustion and ventilation air, but never position it in 

the direct path of a strong wind.

 

Never allow the Grill to operate while unattended,

 to 

prevent uncontrolled grease fires from erupting. 

• 

Never attempt to move this Grill while it is in operation

 or while it is still hot, to prevent possible personal  in-

jury.

 

Never store or use gasoline or other flammable or volatile substances

 in the vicinity of this Grill or in the vicinity 

of any other heat-generating appliances, because of the danger of starting a fire. 

 

Always confirm that the installation of this Grill conforms with the requirements of all local Codes

 or, in the 

absence of any applicable local Codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54, or CSA 

B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
