Important Safety Precautions - Viking 5 Series Installation, Use & Care Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE REVIEW THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE YOU USE YOUR
GRILL ACCESSORY.
1. NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL ACCESSORY UNATTENDED WHILE
COOKING.
2. Ensure all tie-down wires have been removed from the
burners.
3. Always use caution when operating the grill accessory in a
windy area. (See INDEX: "Grilling in Windy Conditions" for
further details.)
4. Avoid wearing loose-fi tting garments or long sleeves while
grilling. They could ignite.
5. Never touch the grill accessory racks or immediate sur-
rounding metal surfaces with your bare hands while grill-
ing.
6. Use an insulated glove or mitt when opening and operating
the grill accessory.
7. The grill accessory covers must be fully removed or opened
while lighting the grill accessory. Releasing fuel into a
closed grill accessory before lighting will not make it light
sooner or more effi ciently. It will only risk explosion and
personal injury or death. Never lean over hot grill acces-
sory surface or look directly into the grill accessory when
attempting to light.
8. Do not heat unopened food containers as pressure build-up
will cause the container to explode.
9. Do not use aluminum foil to line grill accessory racks or
drip pans. This will alter the airfl ow or trap excessive heat in
the control area and can melt knobs and ignition modules.
Such damage is specifi cally excluded from your warranty.
10. Never use charcoal or any other solid fuel in the grill acces-
sory.
11. Cooking excessively fatty meats and oils will cause fl are
ups. Internal fi res or damage caused by them or by the grill
accessory being left unattended while cooking are not cov-
ered under the terms and conditions of our warranty.
12. Never grill without a drip pan in place if your accessory
utilizes a built-in drip pan. Always ensure the drip pan is
pushed all the way to the back of the grill accessory. When
not correctly in place, hot grease can leak downward and
produce a fi re or explosion.
13. Grease is extremely fl ammable. Let hot grease cool down
before attempting to handle or dispose of it. The drip tray
should be cleaned of grease on a regular basis.
14. Do not use the grill accessory unless a leak check has been
performed on all gas connections. (See INDEX: "Leak Test-
ing" for further details.)
15. Never operate the grill accessory while under the infl uence
of alcohol or drugs.
16. Do not lean on side shelves and never place a load weigh-
ing more than 25 pounds on a side shelf.
17. If any burner does not light or goes out during operation,
turn off all gas control knobs and wait fi ve (5) minutes be-
fore attempting to re-light.
