28. Grilling excessively fatty meats and oils will cause flare-ups. Internal fires or damage caused by them or
by the grill being left unattended, are not covered under the terms and conditions of our warranty.
29. Never use charcoal, pellets, wood, or any other solid fuel in the grill. Wood chips for smoking are to be
used with the smoker accessory only. See the SMOKER section of this manual.
30. Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for
grill use. However, these types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on
low or medium heat settings, and according to their manufacturers’ directions.
31. Do not lean on side shelves or place a load of more than 25 lbs (11.3 kg) on a side shelf.
32. Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other
warranty and non-warranty service should be referred to and performed by a qualified technician.
33. For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the ports clean. It is necessary to clean them
periodically for optimum performance. The burners will operate only in one position and must be
mounted correctly for safe operation. See BURNER ADJUSTMENT section of this manual.
34. Clean the grill with caution. 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 when applied to a hot surface. Be sure all
grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the
grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal
parts to corrode. Clean and perform general maintenance on the grill twice a year. Watch for corrosion,
cracks, or insect activity. See the CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE section of this manual.
