IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
■The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
■Gas grills can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.
■Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion.
Exposure to these substances is minimized because this is an outdoor unit.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using your grill, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
■Be sure your grill is properly assembled and grounded in accordance with the provided Assembly Instructions. Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in damage or injury.
■Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your cooking center unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a GE Authorized Service Center.
■If you smell gas, the assembler has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. You can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if the connections are not completely tight.
Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position and for your protection it must be done in accordance with leak test procedures. See the Leak testing section. Never use an open flame to locate
aleak.
■Check your local building codes for acceptable outdoor grill locations. In the absence of local codes, this unit should be located in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code No. Z223.1, Latest Edition and the National Electrical Code ANSI-NFPA No. 70,
Latest Edition.
■Do not try lighting this grill without reading the lighting instructions in this manual.
■Read this manual carefully and completely before using your outdoor cooking center to reduce the risk of fire, burn hazard or other injury. Please retain this manual for future reference.
■This gas outdoor cooking center is not intended to be located in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
■Never allow anyone to sit, stand or play on or around the outdoor cooking center at any time.
When in use, portions of the outdoor cooking center get hot enough to cause severe burns.
■Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill.
■Never allow children to crawl inside the cart.
■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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using your grill, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
■Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
■Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
■Use this grill only for its intended use as described in this manual.
■Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used.
■Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.
■For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using this grill. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while grilling.
■Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. Unsuitable types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the manufacturer’s directions.
■Do not heat unopened food containers
as a build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
■Never lean over an open grill.
■Pay close attention when lighting a burner.
Be certain you are rotating the control knob labeled for the burner you intend to use.
■When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack, burner grate or immediate surrounding areas as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns. Keep children away!
■Do not operate main burners simultaneously with the rear burner. This may result in a grease fire or damage to the grill.
■Do not use aluminum foil to line 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 igniters.
■When using the side burner always use flatbottomed pans 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 spillovers. Hold the handle of the pan with a pot holder when turning or stirring food.
■Never grill without the drip pan in place.
Without it, hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard.
■Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the drip pans. Clean the drip pans often.
■Never rotisserie cook without a drip pan in place and placed on top of the Flav-R-Wave®* and beneath the center of the food. Without it,
hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard.
■For proper lighting and performance of the burners it is necessary to keep the ports clean.
■Clean the grill with caution. To 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.
■Do not operate the grill under combustible construction. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways or other such enclosed areas. This unit is for outdoor use only.
■Do not locate the grill where the grill exhaust is directed at combustible materials, windows (open or closed), doorways, etc., as the grill vents combustion gases and smoke.
■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.

■Minimum horizontal clearance from side and back of unit to adjacent vertical
combustible construction and extending above the top, from sides, and back is 30 ″.
■At least once a year, the grill should be inspected for the presence of spiders, spider webs or other insects. The burner area is a common and desired spider haven and can present a dangerous condition which can damage the cooking center and render it unsafe for use. The presence of spiders, spider webs or other insects can 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. See the Venturi tubes section. Check the cooking center immediately if any of the following conditions exist:
1.The smell of gas in conjunction with extreme yellow tipping of the burner flames.
2.The grill or side burner do not reach temperature.
3.The grill or side burner heat unevenly.
4.The burners make popping noises.
■Do not use charcoal on the grill.
■Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F. and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
■Keep any electrical supply cord, or the rotisserie motor away from the heated areas of the outdoor cooking center.
■Never use the outdoor cooking center 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
in the assembly instructions.
■The grills utilize a Flav-R-Wave® tray to evenly distribute heat and to minimize cooking flare-ups. Do not place lava rocks on top
of the Flav-R-Wave.® This can damage the knobs and ignition components and void the warranty.
■LP gas models: Be sure to CLOSE the LP tank mounted valve after every use of the grill.
■If a grill is stored indoors ensure that it is cool before attempting to move it. The LP tank must be unhooked and stored outside in
a well ventilated area, out of the reach of children.
■Never use a dented or rusty LP tank.
See the requirements in the Assembly Instructions.
■Never use more than one LP tank and mount in accordance with the Assembly Instructions.
Never modify the cart to house a larger tank or more than one tank at a time. Do not store spare tanks in a built-in enclosure.
■Keep the ventilation openings of the LP tank enclosure free and clear from debris.
■All models require an LP tank equipped with a QCC-1® quick close coupling system*. If you use a tank exchange system, be sure to exchange the tank for a similarly equipped tank.
