SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS

• Always follow lighting instructions.

• Lid must be off before lighting
thegrill or side burners.

• Check for gas leaks before lighting.

• Never lean over an open grill when
lighting. Serious burns may result.

• Hot surfaces surrounding grill
grates could cause serious burns.

• Always leave at least 12" clearance
tocombustibles around the grill.

• Never store a spare LP cylinder
under or near this unit.

• Never fill the tank beyond 3/4 full. A
fire causing death or serious injury

may occur.

WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE!

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

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE!

Be sure to remove covers from grill, griddle or side burners before attempting to light or use.

“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

capacit

2

. If you own or use a spare tank, or have a disconnected tank, you should NEVER

store it near or under the outdoor appliance/cart unit or heat box, or near any
other ignition or heat source. A metallic sticker with this warning is provided with
the grill to remind you, your family and all others who may use your grill of these
safety precautions. Install this sticker close to your barbeque grill.

3. Do not store a full tank in direct sunlight.

y.

WARNING!

Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS”
section of this manual. This outdoor appliance is for outdoor use only.

WARNING!

Push and hold the igniter button, turn the selected burner knob to “HI” or “SEAR”. If
burner does not light in 4 to 5 seconds turn knob “OFF” and wait 5 minutes for any
accumulated gas to dissipate before trying again.

■

Begin by insuring proper installation and

servicing. Follow the installation instructions
within this manual. Have your outdoor
appliance 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 outdoor
appliance. 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

■

Always use a covered hand when taking off the lid and only do so slowly to allow heat and steam to escape.

■

Never lean over an open outdoor appliance. When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are

doing.

■

After lighting burners, make sure burners are operating normally (see pages 21 and 22).

hen using the outdoor appliance, do not touch the outdoor appliance burner grate or immediate surrounding

■

W

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.

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 outdoor appliance
use. Use of some 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 outdoor appliance, and cause the gas to flow from
the front of the burner. The gas will flow from the front of the burner into the control panel. This is a very dangerous
condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the outdoor appliance
components and making it unsafe to operate.

SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS

■

Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans, grates or radiants. This can severely upset combustion air flow or trap

excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted knobs or damaged ignition components.

■

When using the side burners always use flat bottomed pans which are large enough to cover the side 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 it 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 outdoor appliance with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the outdoor

appliance while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.

■

Be sure all outdoor appliance controls are turned off and the outdoor appliance is cool before using any type of

aerosol cleaner on or around the outdoor appliance. 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 use outdoor appliance without the drip pan and grease tray in place and pushed all the way to the back.

Without the grease pan, hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard.

■

Do not operate the outdoor appliance under unprotected combustible construction. Use only in well ventilated areas.

Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeway, covered structure or other such over head structures and
enclosed areas. This unit is for outdoor use only.

■

If a cart unit is stored indoors, ensure that it is cool, fold the optional side shelf(s) down, and never push or pull on

the side shelves. If LP, the LP cylinder must be unhooked and stored outside in a well ventilated area, out of reach of
children.

■

Do not use charcoal or lighter fluid in the outdoor appliance.

■

Never use the outdoor appliance in a windy area.

■

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 outdoor appliance.

■

Have an ABC rated Fire Extinguisher accessible – never attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or ot her liquids.

■

To avoid burns when cooking, use long handled BBQ tools.

■

Do not move the appliance during its use.

■

This unit is for outdoor use only! Do not operate in enclosed areas. This could result in carbon monoxide build-up

which would result in injury or death.
