SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID INJURY
When properly cared for, your grill will provide safe, reliable service for many years. However, extreme care
must be used as the grill produces intense heat that can increase accident potential.
When using this appliance basic safety practices must be followed, including the following:
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.
The grill is for outdoor use only.
The grill is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Do not allow children
to sit, stand or play on or around the grill at any time.
Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill or cart. Do not allow children to crawl inside
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. The fabric could ignite, causing serious 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, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. Other
types of materials may shatter with sudden temperature changes. Use only low or medium heat settings in
accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the containers 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. Make certain you are aware of
which burner you are lighting so that your body and clothing remain clear of open flames.
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. 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 grill rack.
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Do not allow grease deposits to
collect in the grease tray at the bottom of the grill’s body. Clean the grease tray often.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the grill racks or grill bottom. This can severely upset combustion airflow or
trap excessive heat in the control area.
WARNING
Do not try lighting this appliance without first
reading the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” section
of this manual.
