1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the gas
grill is being used. Never allow them 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. Use of these types of materials
may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium
heat settings.
7. Select the correct pan size for the burner. Be sure the pan is large enough
to avoid boil-overs or spill-overs. This will both save cleaning, prevent
accumulations of food, heavy splattering or spill-overs that can catch fire.
8. Never leave the grill unattended. High flame and fatty meats will promote
flare ups.
9. T T h h i i s s u u n n i i t t i i s s f f o o r r o o u u t t d d o o o o r r u u s s e e o o n n l l y y ! ! Do not operate in enclosed areas. This
could result in carbon monoxide build-up which would result in injury or
death.
10. 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.
11. 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. The result of
this can be melted knobs.

12. The handle of the 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.

13.
: : 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.
14. 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 they can catch on fire.
15. 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.
16. Keep the rotisserie motor cord away from heated areas of the grill.
17. When cooking in windy conditions, provide a wind break. Locate the unit
with proper clearance from combustible surfaces.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. 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.
22. Do not move the appliance during its use.
23. 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.

25. 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.
