Safe Operation - Kalamazoo K750GS Use And Care Manual

Safe Operation

WARNING:
When in use, portions of your grill get hot enough to cause severe burns.
Children and pets should never be left alone or unattended in the area where the grill is
being used. Never allow children to sit, stand or play on or around the grill. Do not allow
someone operate the grill if they have not read this manual.
IMPORTANT:
Improper use or installation is dangerous. Because this grill produces intense
heat, the risk of accidents or potential injuries is increased. Extreme care must be taken.
Carefully follow all instructions, including the following:
„
To reduce the risk of fire, burns or other injury, read this Use and Care Guide thoroughly. Begin by
ensuring proper installation and servicing. Do not repair or replace any part of the grill yourself unless it is
specifically recommended in this Use and Care Guide. All other service must be carried out by a qualified
gas technician.
„
Never allow children to operate the grill. Do not store items of interest to children in or around the grill.
„
Do not heat unopened food containers in the grill. The build up of pressure resulting from the heat may
cause the container to burst.
„
Never lean on any part of the grill.
„
When lighting the grill, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Make sure you are aware of
which burner you are lighting and can see whether or not it is lit. Make sure you have ready access to the
burner valves when you are lighting the burner. Make sure you are pushing in the burner valve to activate
the ignition when you attempt to light the burner.
„
When the burners are on or the grill is hot, do not touch the grilling surface, grill rack, upper armature,
any part of the grill's interior or any surface of areas surrounding the grilling surface. These areas become
extremely hot and may cause severe burns. Do not touch any surface of the fire box that can be accessed
within the cabinet below the grill. Do not touch or operate the chute closure or ash cleanout bin.
„
The cabinet below the grill is not for storage. It is for service access and cleaning. Do not store
combustible materials in the cabinet below the grill. Likewise, do not store items made with materials that
might melt or otherwise be damaged by heat.
„
Do not use any cleaner, including water, on a hot grill.
„
Be sure all control knobs are in the OFF position and the grill is cool before using any aerosol cleaner on it
or near it. The chemical used for aerosol propellant could ignite in the presence of heat.
„
Do not burn manufactured logs, driftwood, trash, leaves, paper, cardboard, plywood, painted or stained or
pressure treated wood. Avoid using softwoods such as pine or cedar that can throw sparks.
„
Do not use near or under overhanging trees and shrubs.
„
Do not use in windy conditions.
„
Do not operate the grill under overhead combustible construction. Use only in a well-ventilated area. The
grill is for outdoor use only.
„
Do not leave the fire unattended.
„
Always wait at least 24 hours after the last time the grill was hot before emptying the ash bin.
„
Always use dry pot holders or gloves on hot surfaces or cooking tools: moist or damp pot holders or
gloves may cause steam burns. Never use a towel or bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot
holders touch hot portions of the grill or allow them to get near the open flame.
