Do not try lighting this appliance without first
reading the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” section
of this manual.

TESTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANSI Z21.58
LATEST STANDARD and CSA 1.6 LATEST
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 ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, Storage and Handling of
Liquefied Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58 or
CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Code, and the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65-WARNING

The burning of gas fuel generates some by­products, which are known by the State of
California to cause cancer or reproductive harm.
To minimize exposure to these substances,
always operate this unit according to the care and
use manual, ensuring you provide good
ventilation when cooking with gas.

SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID INJURY

When properly cared for, your grill will provide
safe, reliable service for many years. However,
extreme care must be used as the grill produces
intense heat that can increase accident potential.

When using this appliance basic safety practices
must be followed, including the following:

Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All other
service should be referred to a qualified
technician.

The grill is for outdoor use only.

The grill is not intended to be installed in or on
recreational vehicles and/or boats.

Children should not be left alone or unattended in
an area where the grill is being used. Do not
allow children to sit, stand or play on or around
the grill at any time.

Do not store items of interest to children around or
below the grill or cart. Do not 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.
The fabric could ignite, causing serious personal
injury.

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, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use.
Other types of materials may shatter with sudden
temperature changes. Use only on low or medium
heat settings in accordance with the
manufacturer’s guidelines.

Do not heat unopened food containers as a build­up of pressure may cause the containers to burst.

Use a covered hand when opening the grill lid.
Never lean over an open grill.

When lighting a burner, always pay close
attention to what you are doing. Make certain you
are aware of which burner you are lighting so that
your body and clothing remain clear of open
flames.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack,
burner grate or immediate surroundings as these
areas become extremely hot and could cause
burns. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may cause steam burns.
Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of
potholders. Do not allow potholders to touch hot
portions of the grill rack.

Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before
attempting to handle it. Do not allow grease
deposits to collect in the grease tray at the bottom
of the grill’s firebox. Clean the grease tray often.

Do not use aluminum foil to line the grill racks or
grill bottom. This can severely upset combustion air
flow or trap excessive heat in the control area.

For proper lighting and performance of the burners,
keep the burner ports clean. It is necessary to clean
them periodically for optimum performance. The
burners will only operate in one position and must
be mounted correctly for safe operation.

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.

INSECT WARNING

Spiders and other insects can nest inside the
burners of this and other grills, which could disrupt
gas flow. This dangerous condition could cause a
fire behind and beneath the valve panel, damaging
the grill and making it unsafe for operation.

Inspect the grill at least twice a year.

Never use a dented or rusty propane cylinder.

PLACEMENT OF THE GRILL

CLEARANCE
Non-Combustible Construction

A minimum of 3 inches clearance from the back
of the grill to non-combustible materials are
required for the lid to open fully.

WARNING
Do not install this unit into combustible
enclosures. There should be a minimum
clearance of 24 inches from all sides to
combustible materials.

Turn off all control knobs and make certain the grill
is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on
or around it. 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 to cook excessively fatty meats
or other products that promote flare-ups.

Do not operate the grill under unprotected
combustible constructions. Use only in well
ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages,
sheds, breezeways or other such enclosed areas.

This unit is intended for outdoor use only.
Keep the areas surrounding the grill free from

combustible materials including, fluids, trash, and
vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do
not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air. If the unit is stored indoors, make sure it is cool.

Do not use briquettes of any kind in the grill.
The 720-0163 liquid propane gas grill is designed

for optimum performance without the use of
briquettes. Do not place briquettes on the flame
tamers, as this will block the vent to the grill
burners. Adding briquettes can damage ignition
components and knobs, thus voiding the warranty.

Keep the back of the cart free and clear from
debris. Keep electrical supply cords and the
rotisserie motor cord away from heated areas of the
grill.

Never use the grill in extremely windy conditions. If
located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront,
mountaintop, etc.), a windbreak will be required.
Always adhere to the clearance specifications.

LOCATION

When determining a suitable location take into
account concerns such as exposure to wind,
proximity to traffic paths, and keeping gas supply
lines as short as possible.

Place the grill in well-ventilated areas. Never place
the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or
other such enclosed areas. During heavy use, the
grill will produce a lot of smoke.
