method of installation. In the absence of local codes,
this unit should be installed in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code No. Z223.1-1988 and the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65-WARNING

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

SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID PERSONAL
INJURY

When properly cared for, your grill will give safe,
reliable service for many years. However, extreme
care must be used since the grill produces intense
heat and that can increase accident potential. When
using this appliance basic safety practices must be
followed, including the following:

Read this Care and Use Manual carefully and
completely before using your grill to reduce the risk
of fire, burn hazard or other injury.

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.

CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE LEFT ALONE OR
UNATTENDED IN AN AREA WHERE THE GRILL
IS BEING USED. NEVER ALLOW THEM 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
IN THE CART. NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN TO
CRAWL INSIDE OF 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.
Fabric may ignite and result in 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. Theses 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 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.
BE CERTAIN YOU ARE TURNING THE IGNITER
LABELED FOR THE BURNER YOU INTEND ON

PRECAUTIONS

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 burns from
steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place or
potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot portions
of the grill rack.

Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before
attempting to handle it. Avoid letting excess grease
deposits collect in the grease tray at the bottom of
the grill’s firebox. Clean 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. 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 in the burners of this and any other grill,
and cause the gas to flow improperly. This is a
very dangerous condition which can cause a
fire to occur behind the value panel, thereby
damaging the grill and making it unsafe to
operate. Inspect the grill twice a year.

Be sure all grill controls are turned off and 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 for cooking excessively fatty
meats or products which promote flare-ups. Do not
operate the grill under unprotected combustible
construction. 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.

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. If the unit is stored indoors ensure
that it is cool. If propane is used, the cylinder must
be unhooked and the propane cylinder stored
outside in a well ventilated area, out of the reach of
children.

DO NOT USE BRIQUETTES OF ANY KIND IN
THE GRILL.

The grill is designed for optimum performance
without the use of briquettes. Do not place
briquettes on the radiant as this will block off the
area for the grill burners to vent. Adding briquettes
can damage ignition components and knobs, and
void the warranty.

Keep the back of the cart free and clear from
debris. Keep any electrical supply cord, or the
rotisserie motor cord away from the 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 (see
below). Always adhere to the specified clearance.

NEVER USE A DENTED OR RUSTY PROPANE
TANK

PLACEMENT OF THE GRILL

CLEARANCE
To Non-Combustible Construction

A minimum of 3” clearance from the back of the grill
to non-combustible construction is required for the
lid to open fully.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT INTO
COMBUSTIBLE ENCLOSURES!

LOCATION

When determining a suitable location take into
account concerns such as exposure to wind,

proximity to traffic paths and keeping any gas
supply lines as short as possible. Locate the grill
only in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the grill
in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or other
such enclosed areas without an approved
ventilation system. During heavy use, the grill will
produce a lot of smoke. Lock the wheels after the
grill is placed in a suitable position
