PRECAUTIONS
When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack, burner grate or immediate surroundings 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 of 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 excess grease
deposits collect in the grease tray at the bottom of the grill’s firebox. Clean often.
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
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.
CAUTION: BEWARE OF BACKFLASH
• CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the grill burner tubes
during transit and warehousing. These webs can lead to gas flow obstruction, which could result in
a fire in and around burner tubes. This type of fire is known as “BACKFLASH ” and can cause serious
damage to your grill and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of “BACKFLASH”, it is the most common
cause. To reduce the chance of “BACKFLASH”, you must clean the burner tubes before assembling
your grill, and at least once a month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most active. Also
perform this burner tube cleaning procedure if your grill has not been used for an extended period of
time. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the grill.
