WARNING
For Safe Use of Your Grill and to Avoid Serious
Injury:
• Do not let children operate or play near grill.
• Keep grill area clear and free from materials that
burn.
• Do not block holes in sides or back of grill.
• Use grill only in well-ventilated space. NEVER use
in enclosed space such as carport, garage, porch,
covered patio, or under an overhead structure of
any kind.
• Do not use charcoal or ceramic briquettes 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 to sources of ignition etc.
• Apartment Dwellers:
Check with management to learn the requirements
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.
• NEVER attempt to light burner with lid closed. A
buildup of non-ignited gas inside a closed grill is
hazardous.
• Never operate grill with LP cylinder out of correct
position specified in assembly instructions.
• Always close LP cylinder valve and remove
coupling nut before moving LP cylinder from
specified operation position.

Safety Tips
▲ Before opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut for
tightness.
▲ When grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP cylinder
valve.
▲ Never move grill while in operation or still hot.
▲ Use long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to avoid burns
and splatters.
▲ Maximum load for side burner and side shelf is 10 lbs.
▲ The drip tray must be inserted into grill and emptied after each use.
Do not remove drip tray until grill has completely cooled.
▲ Clean grill often, preferably after each cookout. If a bristle brush is
used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose
bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not
recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
▲ If you notice drip or other hot material dripping from grill,
determine the cause, correct it, then clean and inspect valve. Keep
ventilation openings in cylinder enclosure (grill cart) free and clear
of debris.
▲ Do not store objects or materials inside the grill cart enclosure that
would block the flow of combustion air to the underside of either
the control panel or the firebox bowl.
▲ The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise during
operation. This will not affect safety or use of grill.
▲ If you have a grill problem see the "Troubleshooting Section".
▲ If the regulator frosts, turn off grill and LP cylinder valve
immediately. This indicates a problem with the cylinder and it
should not be used on any product. Return to supplier!
CAUTION
• Putting out drip fires by closing the lid is not
possible. Grills are well ventilated for safety reasons.
• Do not use water on a drip fire. Personal injury may
result. If a drip fire develops, turn knobs and LP
cylinder off.
• Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or
burning off food residue on HI. If grill has not been
regularly cleaned, a drip fire can occur that may
damage the product.
