SAFETY INFORMATION
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
When properly cared for, your grill will
provide safe and reliable service for many
years. Abiding by the following safety
instructions can greatly reduce the risk of
accidents.
•
Do not repair or replace any part
of the grill
unless specifically
recommended in this manual.
All
other service should be referred to
a qualified technician.
•
This grill is not intended to be
installed in or on recreational
vehicles and/or boats.
•
Do not leave the grill unattended
while cooking.
•
Do not try lighting this appliance
without first reading “LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS” located on page
14.
•
Your grill will get very hot.
Never
lean over the cooking area while
using your grill. Do not touch cooking
surfaces, grill housing, lid or any
other grill parts while the grill is in
operation, and until the grill has
completely cooled after use.
•
Use only dry potholders. 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.
•
Do not use aluminum foil to line the
grill racks or grill bottom. This can
severely inhibit combustion airflow or
trap excessive heat in the control
area.
•
It is recommended that you cover
your grill when it is not in use. This
prolongs the life of your grill and
protects it from the elements.
•
Grease is flammable.
Let hot
grease cool before attempting to
handle it. Clean the bottom of the
grill’s firebox often, and do not allow
grease deposits to build up.
•
For proper lighting and performance
of the burners clean the burner ports
periodically. The burners will only
operate in one position and must be
mounted correctly for safe operation.
•
Use caution when cleaning the
grill.
Do not use a wet sponge or
cloth to clean the grill while it is hot,
as this could cause steam burns.
Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes or can ignite if 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. In the presence of
heat, the chemical that causes the
spraying action could ignite or cause
metal parts to corrode.
•
Do not cook excessively fatty meats
or products on this grill, or flare-ups
may occur.
•
Do not operate the grill under
overhead combustible construction.
Use only in well ventilated areas.
Do not use in buildings, garages,
sheds, breezeways, or other
enclosed areas.
•
Keep the area surrounding the
grill free from combustible
materials
, trash, or combustible
fluids and vapors such as gasoline or
charcoal lighter fluid.
•
If the unit is stored indoors, make
sure it is stored in a cool place.
•
If propane is used, the cylinder must
be unhooked and the propane
cylinder stored outside in a well
ventilated area, out of the reach of
children.
