• Never use this appliance
in an enclosed space
such as a camper, tent,
car or home.

DANGER

English-2

DANGER

• CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD

• This grill is a combustion appliance. All com­bustion appliances produce carbon monoxide
(CO) during the combustion process. This
product is designed to produce extremely
minute, non-hazardous amounts of CO if used
and maintained in accordance with all warn­ings and instructions. Do not block air flow into
or out of the grill.

• Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces
flu-like symptoms, watery eyes, headaches,
dizziness, fatigue and possibly death.You
can’t see it and you can’t smell it. It’s an invisi­ble killer. If these symptoms are present dur­ing operation of this product get fresh air

immediately!

• For outdoor use only. If stored indoors,
detach cylinder outdoors.

• Never use inside house, camper, tent, vehi­cle or other unventilated or enclosed
areas. This grill consumes air (oxygen). Do
not use in unventilated or enclosed areas
to avoid endangering your life.

• This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane
gas is invisible, odorless, and flammable. An
odorant is normally added to help detect leaks
and can be described as a ”rotten egg” smell.
The odorant can fade over time so leaking gas
is not always detectable by smell alone.

• Use only propane gas set up for
vapor withdrawal.

• Propane gas should be stored or used in compli­ance with local ordinances and codes or with
ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off propane and disconnect
cylinder when not in use.

• Cylinders must be stored out of reach
of children.

can ignite by ignition sources including match­es, lighters, sparks or open flames of any kind
many feet away from the original leak. If you
smell gas, leave the area immediately.

• Never install or remove propane tank while out­door grill is lighted, near flame, pilot lights,
other ignition sources or while outdoor grill is
hot to touch.

of ignition. Never use the grill in spaces that
contain or may contain volatile or airborne
combustibles, or products such as gasoline,
solvents, paint thinner, dust particles or
unknown chemicals. Minimum distance from

inches (30.5 cm). Do not use under overhead
unprotected combustible construction.
