6. Inspect the hoses before each use for excessive abrasion or wear, or cuts that may affect safe operation of the grill. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being put into operation. The replacement hose assembly must be those specified by the manufacturer.

7. Keep your grill in an area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

8. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to this appliance.

9. Keep the ventilation openings of the tank enclosure free and clear from debris.

21. CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some byproducts which are on the list of substances known by the state of California to cause cancer, reproductive harm, or other birth defects. To reduce exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the use and care manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when cooking with gas.

IMPORTANT: We urge you to read this manual carefully and follow the recommendations enclosed. This will ensure you receive the most enjoyable and trouble-free operation of your new gas grill. We also advise you retain this manual for future reference.

WARNING: Your grill has been designed to operate using only the gas specified by

the manufacturer on the rating plate. Do not attempt to operate your grill with other gases. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire hazard and bodily harm and will void your warranty.

WARNING: Make certain your LP (propane) tank is filled by a reputable propane

dealer. An incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP tank can be dangerous. The overfilled condition combined with the warming of the LP tank (a hot summer day, tank left in the sun, etc.) can cause LP gas to be released by the pressure relief valve on the tank since the temperature increase causes the propane to expand. LP gas released from the tank is flammable and can be explosive. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for more information concerning filling your LP tank.
