Moving and Storage
CAUTION
A collision with the grill, as with any metal object, could cause
injury. Use care when moving a portable gas grill.
Moving the grill:

• DO NOT move the grill while it is lit or hot, or with objects on
the cooking surface(s) or side table(s).
After moving the grill:
• Check all gas connections for leaks that could occur from the
movement.

leave cylinder outdoors. If left outdoors, turn off the fuel supply
to the L.P. cylinder and cover the grill for protection from the
weather. Grill covers may be purchased from a grill dealer or
manufacturer.
WARNING
If the grill is not in use, the gas MUST be turned off at the fuel
supply cylinder.
