Injury:
• Do not let children operate or play near grill.
• Keep grill area clear and free from materials that
burn.

any kind.
• Do not use charcoal or ceramic briquets in a gas
grill.
• Use grill at least 3 ft. from any wall or surface.
Maintain 10 ft. clearance to objects that can catch
fire or sources of ignition such as pilot lights on
water heaters, live electrical appliances, etc.
• Apartment Dwellers:

and fire codes for using an LP gas grill in your
apartment complex. If allowed, use outside on the
ground floor with a three (3) foot clearance from
walls or rails. Do not use on or under balconies.
