PRECAUTIONS
Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause
burns from steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in
place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot
portions of the grill rack.
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before
attempting to handle it. Avoid letting excess grease
deposits collect in the grease tray at the bottom of the
grill’s firebox. Clean often.
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 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 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 if
applied to a hot surface.
INSECT WARNING!!!
Spiders and insects can nest in
the burners of this and any other grill, and cause the gas
to flow improperly. This is a very dangerous condition
which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel,
thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to
operate. Inspect the grill twice a year.
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.
DO NOT STORE ITEMS THAT ATTRACT CHILDEN
AROUND OR BELOW THE GRILL OR IN THE CART.
NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN TO CRAWL INSIDE OF
THE CART.
Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable
materials come in contact with or too close to any
grate, burner or hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric
may ignite and result in personal injury.
For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting
garments or sleeves should never be worn while using
this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly
flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for
grill use. These types of materials may break with
sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or
medium heat settings according to the manufacturer’s
directions.
Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of
pressure may cause the container to burst.
Use a covered hand when opening the grill lid. Never
lean over an open grill.
WHEN LIGHTING A BURNER, ALWAYS PAY
CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
BE CERTAIN YOU ARE TURNING THE IGNITER
LABELED FOR THE BURNER YOU INTEND ON
USING.
When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack,
burner grate or immediate surroundings as these
areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.
Use only dry potholders.
