IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
• The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act
requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm,
and requires businesses to warn customers
of potential exposure to such substances.
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to
four of these substances,
namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,
caused primarily by the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.
Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a
bluish rather than a yellow flame, will
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure
to these substances is minimized because this
is an outdoor unit.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using your appliance, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:
• Improper use or installation is dangerous.
Carefully follow these instructions.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded
by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range top burners unless it is
specifically recommended in this manual.
All other servicing should be referred to
a qualified technician.
• Have the installer show you where the gas
shut-off valve is located
so that you know
where to shut off the gas to the range top
burners.
• Never use the range top burners if there is
a gas leak present.
• If you smell gas,
the installer has not done a
proper job of checking for leaks. You can have
a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if
the connections are not completely tight.
Finding a gas leak is
NOT
a do-it-yourself
procedure. Some leaks can only be found with
the burner control in the ON position and for
your protection it must be done by a qualified
service technician. Never use an open flame to
locate a leak.
• Never connect an unregulated gas line to the
range top burners.
• Your range top burners are for outdoor use
only.
Tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.58,
Latest Edition standard for outdoor cooking
gas appliances.
• Check your local building codes for the
proper method of installation.
In the absence
of local codes, this unit should be installed in
accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code
No. Z223.1, Latest Edition and the National
Electrical Code ANSI-NFPA No. 70, Latest
Edition.
• Do not try lighting this appliance without
reading the lighting instructions in this manual.
• Always remove the cover before lighting the
range top burners.
• Always wait 5 minutes before relighting
the burners to let any accumulated gas
dissipate.
• Read this manual carefully and completely
before using your range top burners
to
reduce the risk of fire, burn hazard or other
injury. Please retain this manual for future
reference.
• Keep the area surrounding the range top
burners clear and free
from combustible
materials, gasoline, other flammable liquids
or vapors, charcoal lighter fluid and trash.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air
to the range top burners. On
cart-mounted units, keep the area beneath
the burners free of debris. If the range top
burners are built in do not store gas cylinders
beneath the unit without adequate ventilation.
