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 PERSONAL
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.

This grill is not intended to be installed in or on
recreational vehicles or boats.

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

Do not store items of interest to children around or
below the grill.

Do not permit clothing, pot holders or other
flammable materials to come in contact with or too
close to any grate, burner or hot surface until it has
cooled. The fabric could ignite and cause 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, heat-proof glass
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for grill use. Other types of materials may
shatter with sudden temperature changes. Use only
low or medium heat settings in accordance with the
manufacturer’s guidelines.

Do not heat unopened food containers. A build-up 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, pay close attention to what

you are doing. Make certain you are aware of which
burner you are lighting, so 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 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 to operate.

Inspect the grill at least twice a year.

Never use a dented or rusty propane cylinder.

Turn off grill controls and make certain the grill is
cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or
around the grill. 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 which 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.

Do not use briquettes of any kind in the grill.
The 750-0142 and 740-0142 grills are 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, 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.

PLACEMENT OF THE GRILL

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

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 locate
the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or
other such enclosed areas. During heavy use, the
grill will produce a lot of smoke.
