TESTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANSI Z21.58
LATEST STANDARD and CGA 1.6-2007
STANDARED FOR OUTDOOR COOKING GAS
APPLIANCES. THIS GRILLL IS FOR
OUTDOOR USE ONLY.

Check your local building codes for the proper
method of installation. In the absence of local
codes, follow either the National Fuel Gas Code,

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 poten tial.

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 chil dren

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 insi de
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 low or medium heat settings in
accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Do not heat unopened food containers as 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, 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.
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 airflow or
trap excessive heat in the control area.

5

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

Exercise caution when cleaning grill. To avoid steam burns, do not use a wet sponge or cl oth to clean the grill
while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
Never use a dented or rusty propane cylinder.
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, 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 are as.

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.

This 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, thus voiding the warranty.
Keep the back of the cart free and clear from debris. Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose
away from any heated surface.
.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 in combustible enclosures. There should be a minimum clearance of 24 inches from all
sides to combustible materials.

Outdoor cooking appliances should not be used under overhead combustible construction.
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.
