Safe Locations For Use Of This Outdoor Grill

DANGER

Never use this outdoor grill inside any building, garage, shed or breezeway, or inside any boat, trailer or recreational
vehicle to prevent a possible fire and to prevent the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning or asphyxiation.

WARNINGS

Do not use this appliance under overhead combustible surface or covered area (e.g., awnings, umbrellas, porches or
gazeboes).

Always confirm that this grill is not positioned under the overhang of a house, a garage or other structure before lighting it.
An overhang will serve to deflect flare-ups and radiated heat into the structure itself, which could result in a fire.

Always confirm that this grill is positioned more than 24 inches (61 cm) away
from any combustible materials or surface before lighting it, and that no gasoline
or other volatile substances are stored in the vicinity of this grill.
(See diagram to right). The temperature of a grease fire or of the radiated heat
might otherwise be sufficient to ignite nearby combustible or volatile substances.
Always locate this grill where there will be ample combustion and ventilation air,
but never position it in the direct path of a strong wind.

Never allow the grill to operate while unattended to prevent uncontrolled
grease fires from erupting.

Never attempt to move this grill while it is in operation or while it is still hot to prevent possible personal injury.
Never store or use gasoline or other flammable or volatile substances in the vicinity of this grill or in the vicinity of any other
heat-generating appliance because of the danger of starting a fire.
Always confirm that the installation of this grill conforms with the requirements of all local codes or, in the absence of
applicable local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223. NFPA 54 or CAN/CGA-B149.2.

Flare-ups

“Flare-ups” sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot heat distribution plate or burners and ignite. Some flaring is normal
and desirable as it helps impart the unique flavors associated with grilled foods. Controlling the intensity of the flare-ups is necessary,
however, in order to avoid burned or unevenly cooked foods and to prevent the possibility of accidental fire.

WARNING: Always monitor the grill closely when cooking and turn the flame level down to LOW or OFF if flare-ups

intensify.

Shutting Off Burners

1.

Always turn the valve knob(s) clockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’ position, and then press and turn it to ‘’OFF’’. Never force the knob

flow safety valve reset procedure

The new regulators are equipped with a s afety device that restricts the gas flow in the event of a gas leak. However, unsafe
practices of grill operation could activate the safety device without having a gas leak.

A sudden shut off of the gas flow typically occurs if you open the LP tank valve rapidly, or if one or more of the burner control
knobs is in an open position when opening the LP tank valve.

This procedure is effective with all LP Tank sizes as well a s Natural Gas. When performing the procedure on a

Natural Gas model, simply substitute "Natural Gas valve" for "LP Tank".

●

To ensure the procedure is safely and successfully performed, please carefully follow these instructions:

1. Close the LP tank valve.

2. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position.

3. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.

4. Open the lid of the grill.

5. Turn burner control knobs to HIGH.

6. Wait at least 1 minute.

7. Turn burner control knobs OFF.

8. Wait for at least 5 minutes.

9. Re-connect the regulator to the LP tank.

10. Slowly turn the LP tank valve ¼ turn at a time and have the valve all the way open.

11. With the lid open: For grill with ignition button: turn on only ONE front burner control knob to the HIGH position. Ignite the
grill by pushing the ignition button. For grill with an automatic ignition: Push down the control knob you want to light, turn
counterclockwise until you hear the ignition click.

12. After the first front burner is lit, turn on the other control knob(s) to the HIGH position. **If you have more than two burners,
turn them on only ONE AT A TIME.
