Natural Gas Grills - Ducane 04 Series Owner's Manual

Installation
Locating Your Grill
Your Ducane Gas Grill is manufactured for outdoor
®
use only! Any grill, charcoal or gas, produces carbon
monoxide while in operation and this gas should not
be allowed to accumulate in a confined area. Never
operate the grill inside your home or recreational
vehicle or any enclosed area.
When locating your grill, choose a safe outdoor
location away from flammable or combustible
surfaces and out of traffic paths. Selection of site
and proper clearances for permanent installations
are detailed in the assembly instructions. Ducane
strongly recommends a six (6) foot clearance to
combustible surfaces.
CAUTION: Never operate your grill under
overhangs, awnings or any covered area such
as a gazebo or porch. When possible, adjust
your grill's position to reduce the likelihood of
wind blowing directly onto it. (See Fig. 12)
It is very important on patio base and permanent
post installations that proper spacings are used
during the time of installation. On permanent post
installations, local soil conditions may warrant a
suitable coating to retard the effects of corrosion
conditions existing in your local area.
Consult your local codes for possible additional
restrictions on location or operation of your grill.

As your grill uses gas, it requires air to burn properly.
Do not locate your grill in such a manner or otherwise
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air
around the grill.
WARNING: For your safety, do not store or use
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Failure to follow this warning could lead to a
fire, explosion and bodily harm.
Assembly
Make sure your grill is assembled properly. Detailed
assembly instructions are packed with each grill giving
specific assembly procedures for each model. Follow
these instructions carefully to ensure the correct and
safe assembly of the grill.
CAUTION: Although we take every effort to ensure
that the assembly process is as easy and as safe
as possible, it is inherent with fabricated steel
parts that corners and edges can cause cuts if
improperly handled during assembly procedures.
Be careful while handling any parts during
assembly. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
THAT YOU PROTECT HANDS WITH A PAIR OF
WORK GLOVES.
Leveling
It is important for the proper operation of the grill
that it be located on a level surface.
On permanent post and patio base installations, it is
important that the installation instructions detailing
how to level the grill have been followed.
