For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn
while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while
cooking. Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for grill use. Use of these types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes.
Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the manufacturer’s directions.
WARNING:
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this and any other grill, and
cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous
condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby
damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.
WARNING:
Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materials, trash, or
combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do
not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
WARNING:
Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area
(oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a wind break will be required. Always adhere
to the specified clearances listed.
■
Never lean over an open grill. When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you
are doing. Be certain you are pushing the igniter labeled for the burner you intend on using.
■
When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack, burner grate or immediate surrounding area as
these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.
■
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease
deposits collect in the drip pan. Clean often.
■
Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill racks. This can severely upset combustion air
flow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted knobs and/or
damaged ignition and gas control components.
■
Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing.
Follow the installation instructions
provided with this product. Have your grill installed by a qualified technician. Have the installer
show you where the gas supply shut off valve is located so that you know where to shut off the
gas to the grill. If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks.
If the connections are not perfectly seated and tightened, you can have a small leak and
therefore a faint gas smell. Finding a leak is not a “do-it-yourself ” procedure. Some leaks can
only be found with the burner control in the “on” position and this must be done by a qualified
technician.
