Before You Cook
A quick safety check should be performed before each time you use the grill.
1.
Clean and inspect the gas hose. If there is evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks, do not use the
grill. The hose must be replaced prior to using the grill. Replace the hose assembly with the exact type
specified by Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet.
2.
Ensure the gas hose is clear of the grill. Keep the fuel supply hose away from all surfaces of the grill.
3.
Check that the area near the grill is clear of combustible materials and vapors, including alcohol,
gasoline, aerosol containers and dry goods. Keep electrical cords from being in contact with any
surfaces of the grill.
4.
Do not use the grill when the wind is strong enough that it might blow hot embers from the fire toward
combustible materials or structures.
5.
Do not use the grill with overly loose-fitting clothing, especially loose sleeves that may come in contact
with the hot surfaces inside or outside the grill.
6. Have insulated gloves with long cuffs ready and available.
While You are Cooking
1. Never move the grill while it is in use or when it is hot.
2. The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair your ability to properly assemble
or safely operate the grill.
3.
Do not touch the grill rack, any surfaces inside or around the firebox, the uprights or cross member
while the grill is hot. These surfaces can cause serious burns.
4.
Use caution when touching the wheel. The wheel can become hot under certain cooking and wind
conditions. Insulated gloves are recommended.
5. Always control the movement of the wheel when raising and lowering the grill rack.
6. Be very careful transporting hot food. Sauces, juices and oils can cause serious burns to yourself or
those around you.
7.
Only use a brass bristle or stainless steel brush to clean the cooking surfaces. Wear insulated gloves
with long cuffs to protect your hands.
8.
Always keep the firebox chute above the ash pan closed when the grill is in operation. Never open the
chute closure or empty the ash pan while the grill or the contents of the pan are hot. Always wait at
least 24 hours after the grill has been hot before emptying the ash pan.
