Consumer Information

Professional Outdoor Grills & Cooktops

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.

Also, used in one of the components of the IR burner, is crystalline Silica.

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.

WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using your appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

• 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 grill or cooktop unless it is specifically recommended in this manual.

All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

• If the grill is installed by a professional installer or technician, be sure that he shows

you where your gas supply shutoff is located. All gas lines must have a shutoff that is readily and easily accessible.

• Read this manual carefully and completely before using your grill or cooktop to reduce

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

• This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not design certified for and is not to be installed in or on recreational vehicles, portable trailers, boats or any other moving installation.

• Never allow anyone to sit, stand or play on or around the grill or cooktop at any time.

When in use, portions of the grill or cooktop get hot enough to cause severe burns.

• Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill or cooktop, in the grill drawers or built-in enclosure.

• Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill or cooktop is located. Never allow children to crawl inside the grill or built-in enclosure.

• 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.

• Do not use water or other liquids

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 by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

• Have a multi-purpose dry chemical

or foam-type fire extinguisher accessible.

• Use this appliance only for its intended use

as described in this manual.

• Do not leave the grill or cooktop unattended while cooking.

• 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. Unsuitable

types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the manufacturer’s directions.

Important Safety Instructions

Professional Outdoor Grills & Cooktops

• Do not heat unopened food containers

as a buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst.

• Use a pot holder when opening the hood.

Open the hood slowly to allow heat and steam to escape.

• 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 hot portions of the grill grate or burner grates.

• Never lean over an open grill.

• Pay close attention when lighting a burner.

Be certain you are rotating the igniter labeled for the burner you intend to use.

• When using the grill, do not touch the grill

grate, burner grate or immediate surrounding areas as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns. Keep children away!

• Grease is extremely flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle or dispose of it. Avoid letting grease deposits

collect in the drip tray. Clean the drip tray often.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line drip tray or grill grates. This can severely upset

combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the control area.

• When using the cooktop burners, 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 away from the grill to avoid burns associated with spillovers and heat from the grill. Hold the handle of the pan with a pot holder when turning or stirring food.

• Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups.

• Never grill without the drip tray in place and pushed all the way to the back of the grill.

Without it, hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard.

• Never rotisserie cook without the basting pan in place and pushed all the way to the back of the grill under the food being cooked. Without it, hot grease could leak

downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard.

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly— meat to at least an INTERNAL

160°F

and

poultry to at least an INTERNAL

180°F

Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

• 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 or cooktop under

unprotected combustible construction.

Always adhere to the required clearances listed in the Installation Instructions. 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. The grill vents combustion gases and smoke to the back of the appliance.

• 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.

• Allow 12" minimum clearance on both sides and the back of the grill to adjacent vertical combustible construction.

• At least once a year, the unit 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 grill or cooktop 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. Check and clean the burners 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 cooktop burners do not reach

temperature.

3. The grill or cooktop burners heat unevenly.

4. The burners make popping noises.

WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Important Safety Instructions

Professional Outdoor Grills & Cooktops

• Do not use charcoal on the grill.

• Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces. Electrical cords should be placed away from walkways to avoid tripping hazard.

• Never touch the grill grates, hood or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands as these areas become

extremely hot during use and could cause burns.

• Use an insulated glove or mitt when opening and operating the grill. Open grill hood slowly

to allow heat and smoke to escape before fully opening.

• The grill hood must be fully opened when lighting. Never lean over a hot grill surface or look directly into the grill when attempting to light.

• Do not operate grill under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• If equipped, never place more than 30 pounds on a side shelf. Do not lean on shelves.

• If any burner does not light or goes out during operation, turn off all gas control

knobs with hood open and wait five (5) minutes before attempting to relight.

• Prior to using grill, ensure that all tie down wires have been removed from burners.

For LP gas models only:

• Be sure to CLOSE the LP tank mounted valve

after every use of the grill.

•

If a free-standing unit is stored indoors ensure that it is cool before attempting to move it and store it in a well-ventilated area.

If LP, the cylinder must be unhooked and the LP cylinder stored outside in a well ventilated area, away from heat and out of the reach of children. From the caster side of the grill, push—never pull—the grill.

•

Place your grill well away from areas where children play.

•

Never move the grill when hot.

• Never store additional or empty propane

cylinders in the grill cabinet or around the grill. Never fill the cylinder more than 80% full.

Failure to follow these steps may result in a fire causing death or serious injury.

• Never use a dented or rusty LP tank.

See the requirements in the Installation Instructions.

• Never put more than one LP cylinder below a free-standing grill. Never modify

the free-standing grill to house a larger cylinder or more than one cylinder at a time. Do not store spare tanks in a built-in enclosure.

• Keep the ventilation openings of the LP cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.

• LP units require an LP tank equipped

with a type 1 connector, an overfill protection device and a collar to protect the valve. If you use a tank exchange system, be sure to exchange this tank

for a similarly equipped tank.

• The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the product must be used.

Replacement pressure regulators and hoses must be specified by GE.

• For built-in side burners and built-in cooktops only: Use proper pan size—avoid

pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers and large enough to cover the burner grate. This will save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on the range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

For natural gas models only:

• Be sure to CLOSE the manual safety valve

supplying the unit after every use of the grill.

• This appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas

supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa).

• This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing

its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa).

• Be sure to close the manual shut-off valve to the unit after every use.

WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not use the grill until a leak test has been performed.

WARNING:

TEST FOR LEAKS

A complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site.

To prevent fire or explosion hazard, DO NOT use or permit sources of ignition in the area while performing a leak test. Perform leak test outdoors only. Never perform a leak test with fire or flame. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE PERFORMING THE LEAK TEST.

• Create a soapy solution of equal parts mild dishwashing detergent and water.

• Check to be sure all controls are in the OFF position.

• Turn on the fuel supply. For natural gas, turn manual shut-off valve handle 1/4 turn to align with gas flow. For LP, turn cylinder valve knob counterclockwise one full rotation.

• Apply soap solution generously on all connections and fittings. See illustrations.

• If growing bubbles appear on any connection point, IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas supply.

To stop a gas leak:

• Turn on control knobs to release pressure. Turn controls OFF.

• Wash off soapy solution and towel dry.

• Tighten the loose joint and perform a new leak test.

Important Safety Instructions

Professional Outdoor Grills & Cooktops

Natural Gas Leak

Test Points

LP Gas Leak

Test Points

Never use the grill in windy conditions.

If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a windbreak will be required on the rear wall and both sides of the grill. Windbreak construction is the responsibility of the owner and must adhere to the specified clearances listed in the Installation Instructions.

As a high-performance gas appliance, your grill requires significant amounts of air to support the combustion process. Your grill has been engineered to take air in through the control panel area and exhaust the combustion byproducts out through the gap between the front and rear hoods.

Using your grill in windy conditions can disrupt the proper flow of air through your grill, leading to reduced performance or, in certain severe cases, causing heat buildup in the control panel area. This can lead to problems such as burn hazards when the control panel surfaces become too hot to touch and, ultimately, failure of the wiring and internal components if the conditions persist.

If you have a freestanding grill, it is best to position the unit so the prevailing wind blows into the front control panel, thus supporting the proper airflow. Winds hitting the back of the grill directly are the most likely to cause problems, although wind blowing along the hood gap can also be problematic.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

NEVER USE THE GRILL IN WINDY CONDITIONS. Wind hitting the grill while

in use, especially winds blowing into or across this hood gap, can cause poor performance and in some cases can cause the control panel to get hot enough to cause burns.

Steady or gusty winds can prevent the normal exhaust of hot gases. Locate your grill away from prevailing winds and avoid grilling in windy conditions.

SPECIAL NOTE ON WINDY CONDITIONS

WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the plug.

If an extension cord is required to operate the grill, use only a grounded cord approved for outdoor use. Use as short of cord as possible and avoid wet areas.

See all requirements in the provided Installation Instructions.
