Safe Operation - Kalamazoo K54DB Use And Care Manual

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.
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 store items of interest to children in or around the grill.
„
Do not heat unopened food containers in the grill. The build up of pressure resulting from the heat may
„
cause the container to burst.
Never lean on any part of the grill. 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.
„ When the burners are on or the grill is hot, do not touch the grilling surface, warming rack, 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. Likewise, do not touch any part of the grill lid other than the handle. Do not touch
any surface of the cleanout trays or open the cleanout when the grill is hot.
Do not use any cleaner, including water, on a hot grill.
„
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.
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.
„ Do not operate the grill under an unprotected combustible construction. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
The grill is for outdoor use only.
„ Do not obstruct any of the openings on the grill or otherwise obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air. Do not build the grill into any combustible structure that is closer than 6 inches from the
sides and back.
Do not use the grill when there is a strong wind blowing from behind the grill. For installations with
„
a prevailing wind that blows against the rear side of the grill, a wind break may be required for safe
operation.
Keep all gas hoses away from the hot surfaces of the grill, including all external surfaces of the unit.
„
Keep all electrical supply cords away from the hot surfaces of the grill, including all external surfaces of the unit.
