WARNINGS FOR SAFE GAS INSTALLATIONS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This outdoor gas cooking appliance is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

Always inspect the natural gas or LP gas hose assembly before each use of the appliance. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation. Replacement hose assemblies can be purchased at barbecue supply stores, or ordered through Thermador®. If purchased at a retail outlet, the hose assembly must be identical to the one supplied with the unit. To inspect the hose assembly, check under the unit through access opening in the enclosure.

Keep the area around the appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Do not place any items in front of the unit while in use. This could obstruct the proper flow of air needed for proper combustion and ventilation.

Keep ventilation opening(s) of the LP cylinder enclosure free and clear of obstructions and debris.

Keep electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces.

Do not leave the cooktop unattended while cooking.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read this manual carefully before using the cooktop

to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

• Insure proper installation. Have the installer show you where the gas supply shutoff valve is located, and how to shut off the gas to the cooktop. Always adhere to the minimum clearances to combustible materials as specified in Section 3.

• Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically recommended in this

manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified service technician.

• If you smell gas when the unit is not in use, have the unit checked for leaks as defined in Section 6. Finding a gas leak is not a do-it-yourself procedure as some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position. This must be done by a qualified technician.

• If you smell gas when the unit is in use, immediately shut off all controls. Let the gas dissipate for at least five minutes. Relight the burner(s) and verify that they are operating properly. If the burner(s) fail to relight or are not operating properly, shut of the gas to the unit and have the unit checked by a qualified service technician.

• 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 this plug.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR COOKTOP

LP TANK REQUIREMENTS

This model can be converted for use with an LP cylinder which can be purchased locally from an LP supplier or other retail outlet. The cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinder, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods. To minimize the potential for fire or an explosion, the following precautions should be observed when using, filling or storing an LP cylinder:

• Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. If there is any question as to the soundness of the tank, have it checked by your LP supplier.

• Never use a tank with a damaged or defective shut off valve.

• The gas supply must be turned off at the LP-gas supply cylinder when this outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use.

• The LP-gas supply cylinder must be disconnected when this outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use.

• L’alimentation du gaz doit étre fennée a la bouteille de gaz de pétrole liquéfié, lorsque cet appareil de cuisson extérieur n’ est pas utilisé.

• La bouteille d’alimentation en gaz de pétrole liquéfié doit étre débranchée, lorsque cet appareil de cuisson extérieur n’est pas utilisé.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

AVERTISSEMENT

• Always close the tank shut off valve after use.

• Do not overfill the LP cylinder. Never fill the LP

cylinder beyond eighty percent (80%) of its capacity. Overfilling will cause the pressure relief valve on the cylinder to vent excess gas vapor. This vapor is combustible and can ignite, causing a fire.

• When transporting an LP cylinder, insure it is in an upright position and away from any sources of high heat.

• Do not store additional LP cylinders inside the enclosure for the unit. Cylinders must be stored

outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight and/or sources of high heat, and out of the reach of children.

• LP cylinder supply system must be arranged for

vapor withdrawal.

• LP cylinder used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.

• The LP cylinder must be disconnected and removed from the appliance if the appliance is to be

stored indoors.

• Always check for leaks after every cylinder change. See Section 6 of Installation Instructions.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

An LP cylinder not connected for use shall not be stored in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
