SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not
intended to be installed in or on recreational
vehicles and/or boats.
• Do not let children use the range top burners.
• Never let children crawl or hang on the range
top burners.
• Children should not be left alone or
unattended in an area where the range top
burners are being used.
• Never let clothing, pot holders or other
flammable materials come in contact with or
too close to the grate, burners or hot surface
until it has cooled.
Fabric may ignite and
result in personal injury.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a burner by covering the pan
completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical
or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering it with baking soda or, if available, by
using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher.
• Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
• For personal safety, wear proper apparel.
Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never
be worn while using this appliance. Some
synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and
should not be worn while cooking.
• Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass
ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils
are suitable for use on the range top burners.
Unsuitable types of materials may break with
sudden temperature changes. Use only on
low or medium heat settings according to the
manufacturer’s directions.
• Do not heat unopened food containers as a
buildup of pressure may cause the container
to burst.
• Use only dry pot holders— moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth in place of a pot holder. Do not let pot
holders touch the burner grate.
• Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool
before attempting to handle it.
• When using a range top burner, always use
flat-bottomed pans which are large enough to
cover the burner.
Adjust the flame so that it
heats only the bottom of the pan to avoid
ignition of clothing. Position handles inward
away from open edges of the unit to avoid
burns associated with spillovers. Hold the
handle of the pan with a pot holder when
turning or stirring food.
• For proper lighting and performance of the
burners it is necessary to keep the ports clean.
• Thoroughly clean the range top burners on a
regular basis.
• Clean the range top burners with caution. To
avoid steam burns, do not use a wet sponge or
cloth to clean the range top burner while it is
hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or
can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
