SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
•
When properly cared for your grill will provide safe, reliable service for many years. However, extreme care must
be used as the grill produces intense heat that can increase accident potential. When using this appliance basic
safety practices must be followed, including the following:
•
Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other service
should be referred to a qualified technician.
NEVER CONNECT AN UNREGULATED GAS SUPPLY LINE TO THE APPLIANCE. USE THE REGULATOR/HOSE ASSEMBLY
SUPPLIED.
•
This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not intended to be installed in or on boats and other recreational vehicles.
•
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Do not allow them to sit,
stand or play in or around the grill at any time.
•
Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill.
•
Do not permit clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials to come in contact with or too close to any grate,
burner or hot surface until it has cooled. The fabric could ignite and cause personal injury.
•
For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using this
appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
•
Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill
use. These materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings in
accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines.
•
Do not heat unopened food containers. A build-up of pressure may cause the containers to burst.
•
Use a covered hand when opening the grill lid.
•
Never lean over an open grill.
•
When lighting a burner, pay close attention to what you are doing. Make certain you are aware of which burner
you are lighting, so your body and clothing remain clear of open flames.
•
When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack, burner grate or immediate surroundings as these areas become
extremely hot and could cause burns. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
cause steam burns. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place or potholders. Do not allow potholders to touch hot
portions of the grill rack.
Warning:
Your grill will get very hot. Never lean over the cooking area while using your grill.
Do not touch cooking surfaces, grill housing, lid or any other grill parts while the
grill is in operation, or until the gas grill has cooled down after use.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in serious bodily injury.
•
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Do not allow grease deposits to collect in
the grease tray at the bottom of the grill's firebox. Clean the grease tray often
•
For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep the burner ports clean. It is necessary to clean them
periodically for optimum performance. The burners will only operate in one position and must be mounted
correctly for safe operation.
•
Clean the grill with caution. To avoid steam burns, do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is
hot. Some cleaners produce toxic fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
•
Turn off grill controls and make certain the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the
grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to
corrode.
•
Do not use the grill to cook excessively fatty meats or other products which promote flare-ups.
•
Do not operate the grill under unprotected combustible constructions. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not
use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways or other such enclosed areas.
•
Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materials including, fluids, trash, and vapors such as
gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
•
The appliance shall be observed and attended while in operation.
DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL TO LINE THE GRILL RACKS OR GRILL BOTTOM. This can severely upset
combustion airflow or trap excessive heat in the control area.
