A MESSAGE TO OUR CUSTOMERS
1.
NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE
COOKING.
2. Ensure all tie-down wires have been removed from the
burners.
3. Always use caution when operating the grill in a windy
area. (See INDEX: “Grilling in Windy Conditions” for
further details.)
4. Avoid wearing loose-fi tting garments or long sleeves
while grilling. They could ignite.
5. Never touch the grill racks, hood or immediate
surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands while
grilling.
6. Use an insulated glove or mitt when opening and
operating the grill. Always open the grill lid slowly to
allow heat and smoke to escape before fully opening.
7.
The grill hood must be fully opened while lighting the
grill. Releasing fuel into a closed grill before lighting will
not make it light sooner or more effi
ciently. It will only
risk explosion and personal injury or death. Never lean
over a hot grill surface or look directly into the grill when
attempting to light.
8. Do not heat unopened food containers as pressure
build-up will cause the container to explode.
9. Do not use aluminum foil to line grill racks or drip pans.
This will alter the airfl ow or trap excessive heat in the
control area and can melt control knobs and ignition
modules. Such damage is specifi cally excluded from
your warranty.
10. Never use charcoal or any other solid fuel in the grill.
11. Cooking excessively fatty meats and oils will cause fl are
ups. Internal fi res or damage caused by them or by the
grill being left unattended while cooking are not covered
under the terms and conditions of our warranty.
12. Never grill without the drip pan in place. Always ensure
the drip pan is pushed all the way to the back of the grill.
Hot grease can leak downward and produce a fi re or
explosion.
13. Grease is extremely fl ammable. Let hot grease cool
down before attempting to handle or dispose of it. The
drip tray should be cleaned of grease on a regular basis.
14. Do not use the grill unless a leak check has been
performed on all gas connections. (See INDEX: “Leak
Test Procedure” for further details.)
15. Never operate the grill while under the infl uence of
alcohol or drugs.
16. Do not lean on side shelves and never place a load
weighing more than 25 pounds on a side shelf.
17. If any burner does not light or goes out during
operation, turn off all gas control knobs, open the hood
and wait fi ve (5) minutes before attempting to re-light.
18. Portable L.P. cylinders: Always shut off the main valve on
the L.P. cylinder after each use.
19. Spiders and insects like to nest in the burners, venturis,
valves and orifi ces of a grill, disrupting the gas fl ow. This
very dangerous condition can cause a fi re behind the
control panel, damaging the grill and risking personal
injury. If your grill has been unused for a long time,
inspect and clean the burners, venturis, valves and
orifi ces. (See INDEX: “Cleaning the Brass Burner” for
further details.)
PLEASE REVIEW THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL.
