BEFORE YOUR
FIRST
USE
There are a few must-check safety precautions to consider
before you use your grill. Please be sure that:
• All packing materials and tie-downs have been removed
from the burners. (See INDEX: “Unpacking & Assembly” for
further details.)
• You have fuel connected. (See INDEX: “Gas Requirements”
for further details.)
• You have electric connected. (See INDEX: “Electric Re-
quirements” for further details.)
• A qualifi ed plumber has performed a leak test on all the
fi ttings that supply fuel to your grill.
• IF YOUR GRILL DOES NOT LIGHT IN 4 TO 5 SECONDS you
may need to purge the line. (See INDEX: “Purging the Gas
Line”
AT EACH NEW SEASON
At the start of each new grilling season you should remove
the grilling racks and check the burners, venturis, orifi ces
and valves for obstructions.
Spiders and insects often nest in these areas of the grill and
can disrupt air fl ow, causing damage to the grill and personal
injury.
Also, check all hoses and fi ttings for damage, abrasion, wear
and tear.
PRE-GRILL CHECKLIST
Before any use, always make sure that:
• ... you do not smell gas before you light the grill. If you do
smell gas, shut everything off and have a qualifi ed plumber
check for leaks.
• … the cooking area is free and clear of any combustibles,
besides your food, that might ignite.
• … the control knobs turn freely.
• … if you are using a portable propane cylinder, it is securely
connected and leak tested.
•
• … you know where the main gas supply shut-off is located.
• … the burners are seated properly in the grill. The main
burners must sit level and fi rmly on the burner mounting
support frame.
• … wind is not blowing too strongly or blowing on the back
of grill.
LIGHTING YOUR GRILL
1.
Never attempt to light a burner if you smell gas.
2. Always keep the lid open (side-burner lids must be completely removed) when lighting your grill.
3. Releasing fuel into a closed grill before lighting will increase the risk of explosion, property damage, personal
injury or death.
4. Keep your face and body as far from the grill as possible when lighting. Any time a burner doesn’t light within 5
seconds, turn off the control, wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and repeat the lighting procedure.
5. YOU NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
