Important Safeguards

W DANGER: Failure to follow the dangers, warnings and cautions in this manual may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage

to property.

W WARNINGS:

W This grill is for outdoor use only, and should not be used in a building,

garage or any other enclosed area.

W Do NOT operate, light or use this appliance within ten feet (3.05 m) of

walls, structures or buildings. W For residential use only. This grill is NOT for commercial use. W This grill is not intended for and should never be used as a heater. TOXIC

fumes can accumulate and cause asphyxiation. W This is NOT a tabletop grill. Therefore, do NOT operate this grill on any

type of tabletop surface. W This grill is safety certified for use in the United States and/or Canada

only. Do NOT modify for use in any other location. Modification will

result in a safety hazard and will void your warranty. W This grill is for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. The conversion to

or attempted use of natural gas in this LP gas grill is dangerous, may

cause bodily harm and will void your warranty. W LP gas characteristics:

a. LP gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become

aware of the characteristics before using any LP gas product.

b. LP gas is explosive under pressure, heavier than air, and settles and

pools in low areas.

c. LP gas in its natural state has no odor. For your safety, an odorant is

added that smells like rotten cabbage.

d. Contact with LP gas can cause freeze burns to skin. W Apartment dwellers: Check with management to learn the requirements

and fire codes for using a LP gas grill in your apartment complex.

If allowed, use outside on the ground floor with a ten foot (3.05 m)

clearance from any structure. Do NOT use on or under balconies. W LP gas cylinder needed to operate. Only cylinders marked “propane”

may be used. W The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance

with the Specifications for LP-gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department

of Transportation (D.O.T.), Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the

Transportation of Dangerous Goods; or the National Standard of Canada,

CAN/CSA-B339.

W LP gas cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. W Dented or rusted LP gas cylinders may be hazardous and should be

and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

Your cylinder must never be stored where temperatures can reach over

125°F. W Do NOT insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or safety

relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a leak. Leaking

propane may result in an explosion, fire, severe personal injury or death. W Do NOT block holes in sides, bottom or back of grill. W Never keep an LP gas cylinder in a hot car or trunk. Heat will cause the

gas pressure to increase, which may open the relief valve and allow gas

to escape. W Do NOT store a spare LP gas tank under or within 25 feet (7.62 m) of this

appliance. W Never attempt to attach this grill to the self-contained LP gas system of

a camper trailer, motor home or house. W The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair

the consumer’s ability to properly assemble or safely operate the

appliance. W Strong odors, colds, sinus congestion, etc. may prevent the detection of

propane. Use caution and common sense when testing for leaks. W Never use charcoal, lighter fluid, lava rocks, gasoline, kerosene or

alcohol with this product. W Your grill has been checked at all factory connections for leaks.

Recheck all connections as described in the “Operating Instructions”

section of the manual, as shipping can loosen connections. W Check for leaks even if your unit was assembled for you by someone

else. W Do NOT operate if a gas leak is present. Gas leaks may cause a fire or

explosion. W You must follow all instructions in “Checking for Leaks” section before

operating. To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:

a. Always perform a leak test before lighting the grill and each time

the cylinder is connected for use.

b. No smoking. Do NOT use or permit sources of ignition in the area

while conducting a leak test. c. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area. d. Do NOT use matches, lighters, or a flame to check for leaks. e. The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may

impair the consumer’s ability to properly assemble or safely operate

for leaks. g. Do NOT use grill until any and all leaks are corrected. If you are

unable to stop a leak, disconnect the LP gas supply. Call a gas

appliance serviceman or your local LP gas supplier.

W Do NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors

within 25 feet (7.62 m) of this appliance.

W Do NOT use in an explosive atmosphere. Keep grill area clear and free

from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

W Minimum clearance from sides and back of unit to combustible

construction is 36 inches (91.4 cm). Do NOT use this appliance under any type of overhang or roof.
