EXPLOSION HAZARD

Do not use the grill as storage area for flammable materials. Keep area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Before lighting the burners inspect the gas supply piping or hose. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use. Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

This unit is equipped with a grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

Keep all electric cords away from the heated surfaces of the grill.

Do not use flammable cleaning materials. Use a flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked. If obstructions can be seen, use a metal wire coat hanger that has been straightened out. Shake out any debris through the air shutter.

SPIDER AND INSECT INFESTATION

Spiders and insects can nest in the burners/venturi tubes of this or any other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition that can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.

This unit is for outdoor use only! Do not operate in a building, garage or any other enclosed areas. This could result in carbon monoxide buildup which could result in injury or death.

Wait at least five minutes before relighting a hot grill to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate. Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply valve and check the connections for gas leaks before each use.

The side burner cover may be hot if the grill burners are in operation.

• Do not use a metal knife or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel parts.

• Do not permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surfaces, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool pads, or abrasive cloths on stainless steel, painted parts, or brass parts.

• Do not use brass cleaners on the brass option parts. They feature an epoxy coating.

Handle the smoker box with care. The cover becomes extremely hot when being used. Use sturdy, properly insulated gloves or dry potholders.

If you smell gas

1. Shut off gas to the appliance.

2. Extinguish any open flames.

3. Open lid.

4. If odor continues, immediately call your gas supplier.

1. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

2. Do not store any propane/butane (G31-G30) cylinder (that is not connected for use) in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

TO PROTECT AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK

1. Do not immerse cord or plugs in water or other liquids.

2. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.

3. Do not operate any outdoor appliance with a damaged cord, plug or after the appliance has malfunctioned. Contact the manufacturer for repair.

4. Do not let the cord hang over the edge or touch hot surfaces.

5. Use only extension cords with a 3-prong grounding plug; rated for the power of the equipment and approved for outdoor use with a W-A marking.

Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, read and follow these basic precautions before operating your gas grill or side burners.

• Your unit should be properly installed and connected to the gas for which it was designed. Do not use charcoal, wood chips, or other material in your grill. The smoker tray is the only area designed to hold wood chips or other smoke flavor enhancers.

• Have the technician show you the location of the gas shut-off valve so you can shut off the gas supply in an emergency. If you smell gas, the connections are not properly sealed or you may have a hole in the gas supply pipe or hose. Determining where the gas leak is should be left to a qualified technician. Warranty service must be performed by an authorized service agency.

• Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the gas grill is being used. Never allow children to sit, stand or play on or around the grill at any time. Do not store items of interest to children around the grill. Never allow children to crawl inside the cart or masonry enclosure.

• Use a covered hand when opening the hood and do so slowly to allow heat and steam to escape. To avoid burns when cooking, use long handled BBQ tools. Never lean over an open grill.

• Use sturdy, properly insulated gloves or potholders. Dish towels or other substitutes can become entangled, causing burns. Use dry potholders; wet potholders create steam and cause burns. Keep potholders away from open flames when lifting or moving utensils. Do not touch portions of the grill rack or burner grate with potholders until the hot surfaces have cooled.

• Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. These types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings.

• Select the correct pan size for the burner. Be sure the pan

is large enough to avoid boilovers or spillovers. This will save cleaning, and prevent accumulations of food, heavy splattering, or spillovers that can catch fire.

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

Getting Started

Important Safety Instructions

• Never leave the grill unattended. High flames and fatty meats will promote flare ups.

Getting Started

• When using the grill, do not touch the grill grates, open burner grates, or immediate surrounding areas. These surfaces become extremely hot and could cause burns. Be sure all controls are turned off and the unit has cooled before touching or cleaning any surfaces.

This unit is for outdoor use only! Do not operate in a building, garage or an other enclosed areas. This could result in carbon monoxide buildup which could result in injury or death.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill racks. This can upset combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the control area, resulting in melted knobs.

• The handle of your cooking utensil should be positioned so that it does not extend over adjacent surface burners or interfere with closing the canopy. This will minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials, and possible spillage. Let hot pans cool in a safe place out of children’s reach.

• Never grill without the drip tray in place. Make sure it is pushed all the way to the back—in proper position—to catch the drippings. Let the grease cool before attempting to remove for cleaning or disposal. Do not allow large amounts of grease to accumulate in the drip tray as it can catch on fire.

• When cooking in windy conditions, provide a wind break. Locate the unit with proper clearance from combustible surfaces.

• Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of the grill and block the gas and air flow to the burner ports. This may cause a fire from behind the manifold cover. Inspect and clean the burners periodically.

• Keep the ventilation openings at the rear of the cart and cylinder enclosure free and clear to allow proper flow of air. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

• Clothing fires are potential hazards. Do not wear long flowing sleeves around the grill. They are easily caught on pan handles or ignited by burners and are generally in the way. Highly flammable clothing—especially synthetic fabrics—should not be worn while cooking.

• Do not heat any unopened glass or metal containers on the grill. Pressure may build up and cause the container to burst, resulting in serious personal harm or damage to the grill.

• Do not move the appliance during use.

• Be sure all 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 remove the plastic cover on the rotisserie motor switch due to safety considerations.

• Before storing, make sure the gas grill is cool. The gas must be turned off at the supply tank, removed, and stored outside in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children.

• Keep all electric cords away from heated areas of the grill.

• If the following instructions are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

Do not store a spare gas cylinder under or near this appliance.

Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.

Before Lighting Grill

Prior to turning on the gas, inspect the gas supply tubing or hose. Look for evidence of abrasion, cuts, wear and tear, or other damage which could require replacement prior to use.

Getting Started

Make sure all burner control knobs are off. Do not attempt to light the burners if the smell of gas is present.

Check the connection with a soap and water solution after attaching the hose. Make sure there is gas in the tank and the tank is upright.

Note: The flash tube must be accessible through the plates. If the flash tube is not accessible, the flavor generator plates are

not properly installed.

Using Grill with Outdoor Approved Hoods

• Outdoor approved hood models should be installed in a covered yet nonenclosed (well ventilated) area. Outdoor hoods aid greatly in smoke and odor removal, but should not be expected to eliminate entirely. They should also be protected from natural elements (such as rain) as much as possible.

• ALWAYS turn the outdoor hood to the “HIGH” position before lighting the grill.

• Keep the grill canopy closed as much as possible when cooking so smoke is exhausted out the back of the grill. This allows optimum performance of the

hood.

• During breezy conditions, the performance of the outdoor hood may be compromised.
