IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 appliances 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 appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

• Improper use or installation is dangerous. Carefully follow these instructions.

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in

accordance with the provided installation instructions.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range top burners unless it is specifically recommended in this guide. All

other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

• Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is located so that you know

where to shut off the gas to the range top burners.

• Never use the range top burners if there is a gas leak present.

• If you smell gas, the installer 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.

Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position and for your protection it must be done by a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

• Never connect an unregulated gas line to the range top burners.

• Your range top burners are for outdoor use

only. Tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.58,

Latest Edition standard for outdoor cooking gas appliances.

• Check your local building codes for the

proper method of installation. In the absence

of local codes, this unit should be installed 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 appliance without reading the lighting instructions in this guide.

• Always remove the cover before lighting the range top burners.

• Always wait 5 minutes before relighting the burners to let any accumulated gas to dissipate.

• Read this guide carefully and completely before using your range top burners to

reduce the risk of fire, burn hazard or other injury. Please retain this guide for future reference.

• Keep the area surrounding the range top burners clear and free from combustible

materials, gasoline, other flammable liquids or vapors, charcoal lighter fluid and trash.

• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the range top burners. On

cart-mounted units, keep the area beneath the burners free of debris. If the range top burners are built in do not store gas cylinders beneath the unit without adequate ventilation.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

• Do not let children use the range top burners.

• Never let children crawl or hang on the range top burners.

• Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the range top burners are being used.

• Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to the grate, burners or hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and

result in personal injury.

• 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 foamtype fire extinguisher.

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this guide.

• 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 use on the range top burners. 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.

• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder. Do not let pot holders touch the burner grate.

• Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.

• When using a range top burner always use flat-bottomed 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.

• For proper lighting and performance of the burners it is necessary to keep the ports clean.

• Thoroughly clean the range top burners on a regular basis.

• Clean the range top burners with caution. To

avoid steam burns, do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the range top burner while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
