Safety Reminders
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Installation of grill must conform with local codes, or in ab-
sence of local codes, with National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA
54 / ANSI Z223.1-latest edition. Handling of LP tanks
must conform to NFPA / ANSI 58-latest edition.
• Do not install or use grill within 36” of combustible materi-
als from back and sides of grill. Grill shall not be located
under unprotected overhead (enclosed carport, garage,
porch, patio) made of combustible construction.
WARNING
Carefully follow instruction in assembly manual and this
booklet for proper assembly and gas leak testing of your
grill. Do not use grill until leak checked. If leak is detected
at anytime, it must be stopped and corrected before using

• Grill must not have any obstructions in the venturi-orifi ce
air inlet area.
• Visually inspect hose before each use of grill. If there is
excessive abrasion or wear, or if the hose is cut, it must
be replaced prior to grill operation.

with the purchase of your grill.
• Follow lighting and control instructions as described in the
Use & Care section of this manual.
• VERY IMPORTANT: Never attempt to place any other
cooking utensils (skillets, pots, pans) directly on the burners. Only the Evo cooking grill surface is to be placed
over the burners. Only use grill with the supplied grill
cooking surface. Buildup of non-ignited gas under other
utensils is very dangerous.
WARNING
Do not attempt to put other cooking utensils (skillets, pots,
pans) directly on the burners.
When grill is not in use, turn off both control knobs and turn
tank off.
• Grill cooking area should be kept clear and free from

and ventilation air. Keep ventilation openings of LP gas
tank enclosure free and clear from debris. Visually check
burner fl ames on regular basis.
• Grill is for outdoor use only. Grill should be operated
in a well-ventilated space. Never operate in enclosed
space, garage or building. Your grill is not intended to be
installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
• Valve/hose/regulator supplied with grill must be used.
Replacement valve/hose/regulator must be those supplied
by Evo.
• Carefully follow instructions in assembly manual for attaching regulator to LP tank.
• Purging: Do not release liquid propane (LP) fuel into
atmosphere. This is a dangerous practice. If it is necessary to remove fuel from LP gas tank, please call local fi re
department for assistance.
