IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFEGUARDS COULD RESULT IN DEATH,
SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, AND/OR PROPERTY LOSS. READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ASSEMBLY OR USE OF THE LP GAS GRILL.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1. WARNING ! Read and follow all instructions. This grill comes fully
assembled, with the exception of the regulator assembly. Do not
use grill if it is not COMPLETELY assembled, parts are not securely
fastened, or parts are missing.
2. For Household Outdoor Use Only - Do Not Use Indoors or on recreational
vehicles or boats. Never use as a space heater. NOT FOR COMMERCIAL USE.
3. WARNING! To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury from
breathing toxic fumes and from explosion and fire as a result of
leaking gas, use only outdoors in an open area with good ventilation.
As with all conventional fuels, the burning process consumes oxygen and
produces toxic gases, including carbon monoxide. In addition, the combustion
products of such fuels, including liquefied petroleum (LP), contain chemicals
known to the state of California and other authorities to cause cancer, birth
defects and other reproductive harm.
4. Place your Liquefied Petroleum (LP) gas grill on a firm, level surface. Grill
should be set up away from high traffic areas and combustible materials.
5. Locate your LP gas grill at least 10 feet away from your house or any
building. Do not use the grill in a garage, breezeway, carport, porch, or in any
enclosed area or high traffic area. Do not locate this appliance under or near
combustible structures, materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids or
vapors. The grill must be on a level, stable surface. Asphalt surface (blacktop)
may not be acceptable for this purpose.
6. When cooking, have a type BC or ABC fire extinguisher readily available.
In the event of an oil or grease fire, do not attempt to extinguish with water.
Immediately call the fire department. A type BC or ABC fire extinguisher may,
in some circumstances, contain the fire.
7. WARNING! If your grill catches on fire:
• If the fire is in the grill portion and you can safely reach the
Regulator Knob, then turn it "OFF" by turning knob clockwise.
If you cannot safely reach the Regulator Knob, call the fire
department.

or endangers property, call the fire department.
8. Check the grease tray for grease buildup. Remove excess grease to avoid a
grease fire in the pan. Never use the grill without Grease Tray in place.
9. This installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 Storage
and handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases ANSI/NFPA 58 or CSA B149.1
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
10. If an external electrical source is utilized, the outdoor cooking appliance,
when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes
or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Codes, ANSI/
NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code. CSA C22.1.
11. Keep any electrical supply cord away from any heated surfaces. Electric
cords should be placed away from walkways to avoid a tripping hazard.
12. Combustible materials should never be within 36 in. of the back or sides of
your LP gas grill.
13. WARNING! Always Store LP Cylinders upright and where
temperatures do not exceed 125 degrees Fahrenheit. Never store a
spare or disconnected LP cylinder under or near this LP gas grill.
14. Check the LP gas grill for gas leaks and burner obstructions before
each use. WARNING! Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
See BEFORE USING YOUR LP GAS GRILL section of this manual for
correct leak test procedures. A clogged burner tube can lead to a

the LP cylinder:
A. Get away from the cylinder.
B. Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself.
C. Call your local fire department.
16. WARNING! Do not operate an LP gas grill if you have knowledge
of or suspect a gas leak.
17. Always inspect the regulator assembly before each use. Always turn the
LP cylinder to the "OFF" position before inspecting parts. If it is bent, cut
or damaged, do not use the LP gas grill. Contact the manufacturer, as the
regulator assembly must be replaced with an assembly specified by the
manufacturer prior to further use of the LP gas grill.
