When using the side burner, do not touch the
cooking grid, burner grate or immediate
surroundings as these areas become extremely hot
and could cause burns. Use only dry potholders.
Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
cause steam burns. Do not use a towel or bulky
cloth in place of potholders. Do not allow potholders
to touch hot portions of the cooking grid.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the grill racks or
grill bottom. This can severely upset combustion air
flow or trap excessive heat in the control area.
For proper lighting and performance of the side
burners, keep the burner ports clean. It is
necessary to clean them periodically for optimum
performance. The burners will only operate in one
position and must be mounted correctly for safe
operation.
Clean the side burner with caution. To avoid steam
burns, do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the
side burner while it is hot. Some cleaners produce
noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot
surface.
INSECT WARNING
Spiders and insects can nest inside the burner,
which could disrupt gas flow. This dangerous
condition could cause a fire behind and beneath the
valve panel, damaging the side burner and making
it unsafe to operate.
Inspect the side burner at least twice a year.
Turn off side burner controls and make certain the
side burner is cool before using any type of aerosol
cleaner on or around the side burner. The chemical
that produces the spraying action could, in the
presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to
corrode.
Do not operate the side burner under unprotected
combustible constructions. Use only in well
ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages,
sheds, breezeways or other such enclosed areas.
This unit is intended for outdoor use only.
Keep the areas surrounding the side burner free
from combustible materials and fluids, trash, and
vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do
not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air. If the unit is stored indoors make sure it is cool.
Never use the side burner in extremely windy
conditions. If located in a consistently windy area
(oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.), a windbreak will be
required. Always adhere to the specified clearance.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
LOCATION
When determining a suitable location take into
account concerns such as exposure to wind,
proximity to traffic paths, and keeping gas supply
lines as short as possible.
Place the side burner in well-ventilated areas.
Never locate the side burner in a building, garage,
breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas.
CLEARANCE
Non-Combustible Construction
A minimum of 3 in. clearance from the side and
back of the side burner to non-combustible
