WARNING:
Do not use this appliance under overhead combustible surface or covered area (e.g., awnings, umbrellas, porches or gazeboes).
Always confirm that this grill is not positioned under 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
50 inches (127cm) away from any
building or combustible materials or surface before lighting it, and that no gasoline
or other volatile substances are stored in the vicinity of this grill.
(See diagram to right). The temperature of a grease fire or of the radiated heat
might otherwise be sufficient to ignite nearby combustible 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 injury.
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 appliance 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 applicable
local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223. NFPA 54 or CAN/CGA-B149.2.
WARNING: Electrical Grounding Instruction
