IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
When using your grill, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:
■
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan.
Turn the controls off. Smother
a flaming pan on a burner by covering the pan
completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical
or foam-type fire extinguisher.
■
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out
by covering it with baking soda or, if available,
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
■
Use this grill only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
■
Children should not be left alone or unattended
in an area where the grill is being used.
■
Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.
■
For personal safety, wear proper apparel.
Loose
fitting garments or sleeves should never be
worn while using this grill. Some synthetic
fabrics are highly flammable and should not
be worn while grilling.
■
Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for grill use.
Unsuitable types of
materials may break with sudden temperature
changes. Use only on low or medium heat
settings according to the manufacturer’s
directions.
■
Do not heat unopened food containers
as a build-up of pressure may cause the
container to burst.
■
Never lean over an open grill.
■
Pay close attention when lighting a burner.
Be certain you are rotating the control knob
labeled for the burner you intend to use.
■
When using the grill,
do not touch the grill
rack, burner grate or immediate surrounding
areas as these areas become extremely hot
and could cause burns.
Keep children away!
■
Do not operate main burners simultaneously with
the rear burner.
This may result in a grease fire
or damage to the grill.
■
Do not use aluminum foil to line 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 or igniters.
■
When using the side burner always use flat-
bottomed pans which are large enough to cover
the burner.
Adjust the flame so that it heats
only the bottom of the pan to avoid ignition
of clothing. Position handles inward away
from open edges of the unit to avoid burns
associated with spillovers. Hold the handle
of the pan with a pot holder when turning or
stirring food.
■
Never grill without the drip pan in place.
Without it, hot grease could leak downward
and produce a fire or explosion hazard.
■
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before
attempting to handle it.
Avoid letting grease
deposits collect in the drip pans. Clean the
drip pans often.
■
Never rotisserie cook without a drip pan in place
and placed on top of the Flav-R-Wave
®*
and
beneath the center of the food.
Without it,
hot grease could leak downward and produce
a fire or explosion hazard.
■
For proper lighting and performance of the
burners
it is necessary to keep the ports clean.
■
Clean the grill with caution.
To avoid steam
burns, do not use a wet sponge or cloth to
clean the grill while it is hot. Some cleaners
produce noxious fumes or can ignite if
applied to a hot surface.
■
Do not operate the grill under combustible
construction.
Use only in well ventilated areas.
Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds,
breezeways or other such enclosed areas.
This unit is for outdoor use only.
■
Do not locate the grill where the grill exhaust is
directed at combustible materials,
windows
(open or closed), doorways, etc., as the grill
vents combustion gases and smoke.
■
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.
