Safe Locations for Use of This Outdoor Grill

CAUTION

Never use this outdoor grill inside any building, garage, shed or breezeway, or inside any boat, trailer or recreational vehicle to
prevent a possible fire and to prevent the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning or asphyxiation.

WARNING

● Do not use this appliance under overhead combustible surfaces or coverings (e.g., awnings, umbrellas, porches or

gazeboes).

● Always ensure the grill is not positioned under the overhang of a house, a garage or other

structure before lighting it. An overhang will serve to deflect flare‐ups and radiated
heat into the structure itself, which could result in a fire.

● Always ensure the grill is positioned more than 1.25 m (50 in) away from any building, or

combustible materials or surface, before lighting it, and that no gasoline or other
volatile substances are stored in the vicinity of the grill. (See diagram at right).

● The temperature of a grease fire or of the radiated heat might otherwise be sufficient to ignite nearby combustible or

volatile substances. Always locate the grill where there will be ample combustion and ventilation air, but never position
it in the direct path of a strong wind.

●

● Never allow the grill to operate while unattended to prevent uncontrolled grease fires from erupting.

● Never attempt to move this grill while it is in operation or while it is still hot to prevent possible personal injury.

● Never store or use gasoline or other flammable or volatile substances in the vicinity of this grill or in the vicinity of any

other heat‐generating appliance because of the danger of starting a fire.

● Always confirm that the installation of this grill conforms with the requirements of all local codes or, in the absence of

applicable local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1

/

NFPA54 or CAN/CGA‐B149.1.

DANGER – Gas Safety

● Natural gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become aware of its characteristics before using any

natural gas product.

● Natural gas Characteristics: Flammable, explosive under pressure, lighter than air and settles in pools in low areas.

● In its natural state, propane has no odor. For your safety, an odorant has been added.

● This grill is shipped from the factory for natural gas use only.

CAUTION

● It is essential to keep the grill’s valve compartment, burners and circulating air passages clean.

● Inspect the grill before each use.

Step 1. Inspect all hoses and connections and make certain they are secure.

Step 2. Check and clean the burner venturi tubes for insects and insect nests by

removing the burner and inserting a bottle brush cleaner into each tube
to make sure the passage is clear.
*** A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the grill. ***

Step 3. Ensure that the valve nozzle is pointing straight and completely inserted into the venturi tube.
