IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

W DANGER: Failure to follow the dangers, warnings and cautions in this manual may result in serious

bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.

W WARNINGS: W This grill is for outdoor use only, and should not be used in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

W Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. W Read the installation, operation, and maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this

equipment.

W This instruction manual contains Important information necessary for the proper assembly and safe use of

the appliance.

W Read and follow all warnings and instructions before assembling and using the appliance. W Follow all warnings and instructions when using the appliance. W Keep this manual for future reference. W For residential use only. This grill is NOT for commercial use. W This grill is not intended for and should never be used as a heater. TOXIC fumes can accumulate and cause

asphyxiation.

W This is NOT a tabletop grill. Therefore, do NOT operate this grill on any type of tabletop surface. W This grill is safety certified for use in the United States and/or Canada only. Do NOT modify for use in any other

location. Modification will result in a safety hazard and will void your warranty.

W This grill is for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. The conversion to or attempted use of natural gas in this

LP gas grill is dangerous, may cause bodily harm and will void your warranty.

W LP gas characteristics:

Page 3

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

a. LP gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become aware of the characteristics before

using any LP gas product.

b. LP gas is explosive under pressure, heavier than air, and settles and pools in low areas.

c. LP gas in its natural state has no odor. For your safety, an odorant is added that smells like rotten

cabbage.

d. Contact with LP gas can cause freeze burns to skin.

W Apartment dwellers: Check with management to learn the requirements and fire codes for using a LP gas grill

in your apartment complex. If allowed, use outside on the ground floor with a ten foot (3.05 m) clearance from any structure. Do NOT use on or under balconies.

W LP gas cylinder needed to operate. Only cylinders marked “propane” may be used. W The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications for LP-

gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.), Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods; or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339.

W LP gas cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. W Dented or rusted LP gas cylinders may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP gas supplier prior to

use.

W The LP gas cylinder should not be dropped or handled roughly. W LP gas cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building,

garage or any other enclosed area. Your cylinder must never be stored where temperatures can reach over 125°F.

W Do NOT insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve

and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in an explosion, fire, severe personal injury or death.

W Do NOT block holes in sides, bottom or back of grill. W Never keep an LP gas cylinder in a hot car or trunk. Heat will cause the gas pressure to increase, which may

open the relief valve and allow gas to escape.

W Never attempt to attach this grill to the self-contained LP gas system of a camper trailer, motor home or

house.

W The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair the consumer’s ability to properly

assemble or safely operate the appliance.

W Strong odors, colds, sinus congestion, etc. may prevent the detection of propane. Use caution and common

sense when testing for leaks.

W Never use charcoal, lighter fluid, lava rocks, gasoline, kerosene or alcohol with this product. W Your grill has been checked at all factory connections for leaks. Recheck all connections as described in the

“Operating Instructions” section of the manual, as shipping can loosen connections.

W Check for leaks even if your unit was assembled for you by someone else. W Do NOT operate if a gas leak is present. Gas leaks may cause a fire or explosion. W You must follow all instructions in the “Checking for Leaks” section before operating. To prevent a fire or

explosion hazard when testing for a leak:

a. Always perform a leak test before lighting the grill and each time the cylinder is connected for use.

b. No smoking. Do NOT use or permit sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.

c. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.

d. Do NOT use matches, lighters, or a flame to check for leaks.

e. The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair the consumer’s ability to properly

assemble or safely operate the appliance.
