WARNING!

When in use, portions of this appliance get hot enough to cause severe
burns. Children and pets should never be left alone or unattended in an
area where the appliance is being used. Never allow children to sit, stand,
or play on or around the Grill or Side Burner at any time.

IMPORTANT!

Improper use or installation is dangerous. Carefully follow these
instructions.

When properly cared for, your Performance Series™ grill or side burner
will give you years of safe and reliable enjoyment. However, extreme
care must be taken since this appliance produces intense heat, increasing
the risk of accident potential. When using the grill, basic safety practices
must be followed, including the following:

To reduce the risk of fire, burns, or other injury, read this Use and Care
guide thoroughly. Begin by ensuring proper installation and servicing.
Do not repair or replace any part of the grill or side burner unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All other service must be
referred to a qualified Factory Authorized Technician, call us at
1-866-402-45600 for details.

DO NOT store items of interest to children in or around the grill or side
burner. Never allow children to use the Performance Series™ grill or
side burner.

NEVER let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come into
contact with or come too close to any grate, burner or hot surface until it
has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.

DO NOT heat unopened food containers as a build up of pressure may
cause the container to burst

NEVER lean on an open grill or side burner. When lighting a burner, always
pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain you are pushing the
ignition button when you attempt to light the burner.

DO NOT touch the grill grates (racks) or side burner grate, or any item in
the interior cavity or surrounding area of the appliance when burners are
on. These areas become extremely hot and could cause severe burns.

GREASE is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.

DO NOT line grill or side burner grates with aluminum foil. This may
severely disrupt combustion airflow or trap excessive heat in the controlled
area. This may result in melted knobs and/or igniters, and damage to the
lighting system.

TAKE CAUTION when cleaning the grill or side burner. Avoid steam burns:
Do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean any surface while it is hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.

BE SAFE!

WE HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND:
Damage caused by a failure to
heed warnings, follow basic
safety instructions, or basic
safety practices ARE NOT
covered by the warranty.

BE SURE all control knobs are in the OFF position and grill
or side burner is cool prior to using any aerosol cleaner on
or around it. The chemical that produces the spraying
action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal
parts to corrode.

ALWAYS use 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 let potholders
touch hot portions of the Side Burner grate or burner.

DO NOT operate the grill or side burner under unprotected
combustible construction. Use only in well ventilated area.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

DO NOT use the grill or side burner in buildings, garages,
sheds, breezeways or other such enclosed areas. This unit
is for Outdoor Use Only!

KEEP ALL electrical cords away from the heated areas of
this appliance.

BEGIN by ensuring proper installation and servicing. Follow
the installation instructions provided with this product. Have
your grill or side burner installed by a qualified technician.
Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut off
valve is located, so that you know where to shut off the gas
to the grill.

IF YOU SMELL GAS, your installer has not done a proper
job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not
perfectly sealed, you can have a small leak and therefore a
faint gas smell. Finding a leak is not a “do-it-yourself”
procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner
control in the “ON” position, and this must be done only by a
qualified technician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE REGARDING LP TANKS:

Certain Liquid Propane dealers may fill liquid propane
cylinders for use in the grill or side burner beyond
cylinder filling capacity. This “Overfilling” may create
a dangerous condition.

“Overfilled” tanks can build up excess pressure. As a
safety device, the tank’s pressure relief valve will vent
propane gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure.
This vapor is combustible and therefore can be ignited.
To reduce this danger, you should take the following
safety precautions:

1. When you have your tank filled, be sure you tell
the supplier to fill it to no more than 3/4 (75%) of its total
filling capacity.

2. If you own or use an extra tank, or have a disconnected
tank, you should never store it near or under the grill unit or
heat box, or near any other ignition or heat source.

BE SAFE!
