For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep the ports clean. It is necessary to clean them periodical-
ly for optimum performance. The burners will only operate in one position and must be mounted correctly for safe
operation.
Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is hot.
Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
Insect Warning!!! Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this and any other grill, and cause the 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 damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate. Inspect the grill at least
twice a year.
Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around
the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts
to corrode.
Do not operate the grill under unprotected combustible construction. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not
use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways or other such enclosed areas. This unit is for outdoor use only.
Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and vapors such
as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
If the unit is stored indoors ensure that it is cool. If propane is used, the cylinder must be unhooked and the
propane cylinder stored outside in a well ventilated area, out of reach of children.
Keep the back of the cart free and clear from debris.
Keep any electrical supply cord, or the Rotisserie motor cord away from the heated areas of the grill.
Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a
wind break will be required. Always adhere to the specified clearances.
Never use a dented or rusty propane tank.
