BEFORE STORING YOUR GRILL:
•
Ensure that the cylinder valve is fully closed.
•
Clean all surfaces. Lightly coat the burners with cooking oil to prevent excess rusting.
•
If storing the grill indoors, disconnect the LP tank and leave the LP tank OUTDOORS.
•
Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the
cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of
propane.
•
Check and clean burner prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or after a period of not being
used. Spiders and insects like to build nests in burner tubes (especially during colder months). Blocked burner
tubes can prevent gas fl ow to the burners and could result in a burner tube fi re or fi re beneath the grill. See “Burner
Assembly/Maintenance” under Proper Care and Maintenance.
•
If storing the grill outdoors, cover the grill with a grill cover for protection from the weather.
• If storing the grill outdoors, close the wood pellet lid and cover the grill with a cover for protection from
the weather.
• If the grill is stored outside during the rainy season, care should be taken to ensure that water does not
get into the pellet hopper. Wood pellets, when wet, expand greatly and will jam your auger.
•
Never move a grill when hot or in use.
•
Make sure that cylinder valve is closed and burner knobs are in the off position.
•
DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder (fi lled or empty) under or near the grill.
•
Never store fl ammable liquids or spray canisters under or near the grill.
•
If the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the LP gas
supply cylinder.
•
Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is
disconnected and removed from the outdoor cooking gas appliance.
•
Cylinders must not be stored in a building or enclosure, including garages and sheds.
•
Cylinders must be kept out of reach of children.
