PRE-START CHECK LIST:
Property damage, bodily harm, severe burns, and death could result from failure to follow these
safety steps. These steps should be performed after the grill has been assembled and prior to each
use. DO NOT operate this grill until you have read and understand ALL of the warnings and
instructions in this manual.
PRE-START CHECK LIST:
• Ensure that the grill is properly assembled.
• Inspect the gas supply hose for burns, chaffing, kinks, and proper routing before each use. If it is
evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior the grill being
used. Replace with hose and regulator, Model No. 155-2400-0, which can be obtained by contacting
customer service at 800-527-0717.
• Leak check all gas connections and hose. See section on "Leak Testing".
• Ensure that all electrical supply cords are properly grounded. Keep any electrical supply cord and the
fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces. Hose should be at least 3 inches from hot surfaces.
• Position your grill on level ground in a well ventilated location, a safe distance from combustible
materials, buildings and overhangs.
• Properly place the empty grease tray under the grease drain hole in the bottom of the grill to catch
grease during use.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
