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
ƒ
store items of interest to children in or around
the grill.
Do not heat unopened food containers in the
ƒ
grill. The build up of pressure resulting from the
heat may cause the container to burst.
ƒ
Never lean on any part of the grill.
ƒ
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.
ƒ
When the burners are on or the grill is hot, do
not touch the grilling surface, grill rack, upper
structure, 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.
ƒ
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
ƒ
hot grill.
ƒ
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.
ƒ
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
ƒ
and shrubs.
ƒ
Do not use in windy conditions.
ƒ
Do not operate the grill under overhead
combustible construction. Use only in a well-
ventilated area. The grill is for outdoor use only.
ƒ
Do not leave the fire unattended.
Always wait at least 24 hours after the last time
ƒ
the grill was hot before emptying the ash bin.
ƒ
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.
ƒ
Do not obstruct any of the openings on the grill
or otherwise obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.

ƒ
Do not build the grill into any combustible
structure that is closer than 12 inches from the
sides and back below the body of the grill, or 36
inches from the sides and back above the body of
the grill.
Keep all gas hoses away from the hot surfaces of
ƒ
the grill, including all external surfaces of the unit.
ƒ
Keep all electrical supply cords away from the hot
surfaces of the grill, including all external surfaces
of the unit.
ƒ
Ensure proper installation and servicing by
following all instructions in this Use and Care
SPIDER ALERT: Spiders and other insects are prone to nesting inside burners in
outdoor cooking equipment. This can create a very dangerous condition where the
gas flow is redirected and can create a fire behind the control panel or in the lower
cabinet. This will damage the grill and make it unusable. Frequent inspections and
care are recommended. See the care section beginning on page 69.
California Proposition 65 Warning:
The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products that are on the list of substances which are
known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances, always
operate the grill according to this Use and Care Guide and ensure you provide good ventilation when cooking.
State of Massachusetts:
Massachusetts requires all gas appliances be installed by a plumber or gas fitter carrying the appropriate
Massachusetts license.
All permanently-installed natural gas or propane installations require a "T" handle type manual gas valve be
installed in the gas supply line to this appliance.
This does not apply to portable propane installations using a 20 pound cylinder.

Guide and any other instructions or markings
provided with this product. Have your grill
installed by a qualified technician. Have the
installer show you were the gas supply shut-off
valve is located and instruct you in its operation
so that you can shut-off the gas to the grill.
ƒ
If you smell gas, there is likely a problem with the
installation. If the connections are not perfectly
sealed, you can have a small leak resulting in the
faint smell of gas — even if the grill appears to be
working properly. Close the gas supply shut-off
valve and call a qualified technician to locate and
resolve the leak.
