Outdoor LP Gas Barbecue Grill Model No. GBC1203W-C

DANGER: Failure to follow the dangers, warning and cautions in this manual may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.

WARNING:

This grill is for outdoor use only, and shall not be used in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

Do NOT operate, light or use this appliance within ten (10) feet (3.05 m) of walls, structures or buildings.

For residential use only. This grill is NOT for commercial use.

This grill is not intended for and should never be used as a heater. TOXIC fumes can accumulate and cause asphyxiation.

This grill is safety certified for use in the United States and/or Canada only. Do not modify for use in any other location. Modification will result in a safety hazard.

Apartment Dwellers: Check with management to learn the requirements and fire codes for using an LP gas grill in your apartment complex. If allowed, use outside on the ground floor with a ten (10) foot (3.05 m) clearance from any structure. Do not use on or under balconies.

This grill is for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. The conversion to or attempted use of natural gas in this LP gas grill is dangerous and will void your warranty.

LP gas Characteristics:

a.LP gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become aware of the characteristics before using any LP gas product.

b.LP gas is explosive under pressure, heavier than air, and settles and pools in low areas.

c.LP gas in its natural state has no odor. For your safety, an odorant is added that smells like rotten cabbage.

d.Contact with LP gas can cause freeze burns to skin.

LP gas tank needed to operate. Only tanks marked “propane” may be used.

The LP gas tank 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, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission.

LP gas tank must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.

The LP gas tank must have a listed overfilling prevention device (OPD).

Only use LP gas cylinders equipped with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appliances.

The LP gas tank must have a tank collar to protect the tank valve.

Never use an LP gas tank with a damaged body, valve, collar or footing.

Dented or rusted LP gas tanks may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP gas supplier prior to use.

The LP gas tank should not be dropped or handled roughly.

Do not block holes in sides or back of grill.

Never keep a filled LP gas tank in a hot car or car trunk. Heat will cause the gas pressure to increase, which may open the relief valve and allow gas to escape.

Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
