Safety Practices & Precautions

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: Certain Liquid Propane dealers may fill liquid propane cylinders for use in the grill beyond cylinder filling capacity. This “Overfilling” may create a dangerous condition.

“Overfilled” tanks can build up excess pressure. As a safety device, the tanks 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 capacity.
2.	If you own or use an extra spare 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. A metallic sticker with
	this warning is attached to the grill to remind you, your family and all others
	who may use your BBQ grill of these safety precautions.
	Do not remove this sticker.
	WARNING: Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the “LIGHTING
	INSTRUCTIONS” section of this manual.
• This Grill is for outdoor use only.
	Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being
	used. Never allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the grill at any time.
	When in use, portions of the grill get hot enough to cause severe burns.
•	Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill, in the cart
	or masonry enclosure. Never allow children to crawl inside a cart or enclosure.
•	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. 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.
•	Use a covered hand when opening the grill lid and only do so slowly to allow heat and steam to
	escape.
•	Never lean over an open grill.When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are
	doing. Be certain you are pushing the igniter labeled for the burner you intend on using.

•When using the grill: do not touch the grill rack, burner grate or immediate surrounding area as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.

•Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the drip pan. Clean often.

•Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill racks.This can severely upset combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the control area.The result of this can be melted knobs or rotary igniters.

•Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions provided with this product. Have your grill 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 seated and tightened, 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 by a qualified technician.

Safety Practices & Precautions

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, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. Use of these types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the manufacturer’s directions.

WARNING: Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this and any other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner.This is a very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.

•When using the open top burners always use flat bottomed utensils which are large enough to cover the burner. Adjust the flame so that it heats only the bottom of the pan to avoid ignition of clothing. Position handles inward away from open edges of the unit to avoid burns associated with

unintentional spillovers. Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when turning or stirring food. For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep the ports clean. It is necessary to clean them periodically for optimum performance.

•Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.

•Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the grill.The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.

•Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups.

•Never grill without the drip pan in place and pushed all the way to the back of the grill.Without it hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard.

•Do not operate the grill under unprotected combustible construction. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeway or other such enclosed areas.This unit is for outdoor use only.

•Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

•If a cart unit is stored indoors ensure that it is cool, fold the side shelf down, then push, never pull, the grill. If LP, the cylinder must be unhooked and the LP cylinder stored outside in a well ventilated area, out of reach of children.

•Do not use charcoal in the grill. Never use the grill in a windy area. Keep any electrical supply

cord, or the rotisserie motor cord away from the heated areas of the grill.

•Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a wind break will be required. Always adhere to the specified clearances listed.

•Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.

•Use only dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot portions of the grill rack or burner grate.

•CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65-WARNING: The Burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by products which are on the list of substances which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances always operate this unit according to the use and care manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when cooking with gas.

Gas Requirements

the grill inlet pipe to avoid shifting any internal gas lines of the grill. Ensure that the regulator arrow points in the direction of gas flow towards the unit, away from the supply. Do not forget to place the installer supplied gas valve in an accessible location.

L.P. GAS HOOK UP (TYPE 1 OR QCC1 REGULATOR):

Grills orificed for use with L.P. gas come equipped with an high capacity hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. L.P. cylinder (Type 1).The L.P. tank is not included.

Connection: 1/2" NPT male with a 3/8" Flare adapter (included). LP Hose with a quick disconnect and fittings are included. Operating pressure: 10.0"W.C.

To connect the L.P. regulator/hose assembly to the tank/valve assembly, first make sure the main valve on the tank is completely closed. Although the flow of gas is stopped when the Type 1 system is disconnected as part of of its safety feature, you should always turn the L.P tank main valve (Fig.02) off after each use and during transport of the tank or unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn to the black coupler clockwise until the coupler tightens up. Do not overtighten the coupler. Turn the main tank valve on and turn the burner control valves on the unit to the “lite” position for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge before attempting to light the burners.

To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main tank valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counter clockwise. The inlet will then disengage, remove the inlet from the tank valve opening if it has not already done so when it disengaged. Your local L.P. filling station should be equipped with the proper equipment to fill your tank.

L.P.TANK REQUIREMENTS:

A dented or rusty L.P. tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your L.P. supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Always check for leaks after every L.P. tank change.The L.P. gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P. gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only. Do not change the regulator/hose assembly from that supplied with the unit or attempt to use a 5LP-A equipped regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL tank/valve assembly. The cylinder must be provided with a shut off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection Type 1. If the appliance is stored indoors the cylinder must be disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children.

Locating Grill/Built-In Clearances

INSULATED JACKET:

Do not build the Grill under overhead unprotected combustible construction. If the Grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure, an approved insulated jacket is necessary and is available from your dealer. Use only the DCS insulated jacket which has specifically been designed and tested for this purpose.

LOCATION:

When determining a suitable location take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to traffic paths and keeping any gas or electrical supply lines as short as possible. Locate the grill only in a well ventilated area. Never locate the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas without an approved ventilation system. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of smoke. Ensure there is adequate area for it to dissipate.

Important : Gas fittings, regulator, and installer supplied shut-off valves must be easily accessible.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION:

A Minimum of 12" from the sides and a minimum of 12" from the back must be maintained from the Grill above and below the cooking surface to adjacent vertical combustible construction.

CLEARANCES TO NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION:

A minimum of 3" clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required for the purpose of allowing the lid to open fully. It is desirable to allow at least 6" side clearance to noncombustible construction above the cooking surface for counter space. If you’ll be using the rotisserie option, the space is essential for motor and skewer clearance.The Grill can be placed directly adjacent to non-combustible construction below the cooking surface.
