Precautions for Using Your Grill

READ THIS MANUAL CARE-
FULLY AND COMPLETELY
BEFORE USING YOUR GRILL
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, BURN HAZARD OR
OTHER INJURY.
Safety Precautions
1)
NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UN-
ATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
2)
Prior to using grill ensure that
all tie down wires have been re-
moved from burners.
3)
Never operate the grill in a
windy area. See page 2 for de-
tails.
4)
Avoid wearing loose-fitting
garments or long sleeves while
using the grill. Never touch the
grill racks, hood or immediate
surrounding metal surfaces with
your bare hands as these areas
become extremely hot during
use and could cause burns.
5)
Use an insulated glove or mitt
when opening and operating
the grill. Open grill lid slowly to
allow heat and smoke to escape
before fully opening.
6)
Never lean over hot grill sur-
face or look directly into the grill
when attempting to light. The
grill hood must be fully opened
when lighting.
7)
Do not heat unopened food
containers as pressure build-up
may cause container to burst.
8)
Do not use aluminum foil to
line grill racks or drip pans. This
will alter combustion airflow or
10
trap excessive heat in the control
area. This can result in melted
knobs and ignition modules.
Never cover or block grilling area
with any type of pots and/or pans.
These damages are specifically
excluded from your warranty.
9)
Never use charcoal in the grill.
10)
Be aware that cooking exces-
sively fatty meats and other such
products will cause flare ups.
Internal fires or damage caused
by flare-ups or the grill being left
unattended while cooking, are
not the responsibility of LYNX
and any resulting damage is not
covered under the terms and
conditions of our warranty.
11)
Never grill without the drip
pan in place. The drip pan must
be pushed all the way to the back
of the grill. Without the drip pan
in place, hot grease could leak
downward and produce a fire or
explosion hazard.
12)
Grease is extremely flam-
mable. Let hot grease cool down
before attempting to handle
or dispose of it. The drip tray
should be cleaned of grease on
a regular basis.
13)
Do not use the grill until a
leak check has been performed
(see page 11).
14)
Do not operate grill under
the influence of alcohol or drugs.
15)
If equipped, never place
more than 30 pounds on a side
shelf. Do not lean on shelves.
16)
If any burner does not light
or goes out during operation,
turn off all gas control knobs
with hood open and wait five (5)
minutes before attempting to
re-light.
W A R N I N G
Spiders and insects can
nest in the burners of
this or any other grill,
and cause gas to flow
from the front of the
burner. This is a very
dangerous condition
which can cause a fire to
occur behind the valve
panel, thereby damag-
ing the grill and making
it unsafe to operate.
If your grill has been
stored or unused for a
prolonged period, it is
recommended that the
burners be removed, in-
spected, and cleaned if
needed according to the
instructions on page 19.
