Maintenance And Repair; Precautions Regarding Children - Cal Flame MC800 Owner's Manual

Safety Instructions
Do not install or operate your grill unit in such a
•
manner that the cross ventilation openings are
blocked. Fresh air must be able to pass though
installed vents to safeguard against residual gas
accumulation. Failure to allow proper ventilation
may cause fire or explosion.
• When handling LP gas line and connectors, do
not allow them to come in contact with any metal
surfaces of the cart or cabinet. Do not drop LP
connectors.
Gas sources to the grill and side burners must be
•
regulated. Do not operate grill or side burners if
regulators have been removed, fire or explosion can
occur.
Never leave the grill and side burners unattended
•
when in use. When using pots and pans, boil-overs
will cause smoking and greasy boil-overs may
ignite.
Always use the proper size pan. Select utensils with
•
flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. The
use of under-sized utensils exposes the sides of the
utensils to direct contact with a portion of the flame.
This can scorch utensils and hamper cleanup.
Excessive flames on large stainless steel pots can
result in permanent discoloration. For best results,
we recommend commercial quality aluminum pans
and utensils.
Always position handles of utensils so they do not
•
extend over adjacent work areas or cooking areas.
This reduces the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to accidental contact
with the utensils.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a
•
flaming pan. Turn the appliance off and smother the
flaming pan with a tight-fitting lid, a cookie sheet or
a flat tray. For flaming grease outside of the pan,
smother it with baking soda or use a dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
Never allow clothing, pot holders or other flammable
•
materials come in contact with or be close to any
grate, burner or hot surface until it has fully cooled.
Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while
using your grill. Fabric may ignite and result in
personal injury.
• When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack,
burner grate, or immediate surroundings as these
areas become extremely hot and can cause burns.
Only use dry pot holders and do not use a towel or
•
other bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Moist or
Page 2
damp pot holders used on hot surfaces can cause
burns.
Do not heat any unopened glass or metal container
•
of food on the grill. Pressure may build up and cause
the container to burst, possibly resulting in serious
personal injury or damage to the grill.
• Do not reach over your grill or any other surfaces
when hot or in use.

Maintenance and Repair

Spiders and other insects can nest in the burners of
•
the grill and block the gas and airflow to the burner
ports. This creates a dangerous condition that
can result in a fire behind the valve panel. Inspect
and clean the burners periodically and follow the
guidelines in the Cleaning and Maintenance section
of this manual.
Unless specifically recommended in this manual, do
•
not repair or replace any part of the grill. A qualified
technician should perform all service. Any repairs
made by a non- LMS approved dealer technician will
void your warranty.
Storage
• When your gas grill is not in use, turn off the gas at
the supply cylinder.
Storage of a grill or cart indoors is permissible only if
•
the supply cylinder is disconnected and removed.

Precautions Regarding Children

• Never leave children unattended in the area where
the grill is being used.
• Do not store items of interest to children around or
below the grill or cart.
Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of
•
the grill or cart.
