For Safe Use of Your Grill and to Avoid Serious
Injury:
• Do not let children operate or play near grill.
• Keep grill area clear and free from materials that burn
• Do not block holes in sides or back of grill.
• Check burner flames regularly.
• Use grill only in well-ventilated space. NEVER use in
enclosed space such as carport, garage, porch,
covered patio, or under an overhead structure of any
kind.
• Do not use charcoal or ceramic briquets in a gas grill.
(Unless briquets are supplied with your grill.)
• Use grill at least 3 ft. from any wall or surface.
Maintain 10 ft. clearance to objects that can catch fire
or sources of ignition such as pilot lights on water
heaters, live electrical appliances, etc. •
• Apartment Dwellers:
Check with management to learn the requirements
and fire codes for using an LP gas grill in your
apartment complex. If allowed, use outside on the
ground floor with a three (3) foot clearance from
walls or rails. Do not use on or under balconies.
• NEVER attempt to light burner with lid closed. A
buildup of non-ignited gas inside a closed grill is
hazardous.
• Never operate grill with LP cylinder out of correct
position specified in assembly instructions.
• Always close LP cylinder valve and remove
coupling nut before moving LP cylinder from
specified operation position.
Safety Tips
• Before opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut for
tightness.
• When grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP
cylinder valve.
• Never move grill while in operation or still hot.
• Use long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to avoid
burns and splatters.
• Maximum load for sideburner and side shelf is 10 lbs.
• The grease tray must be inserted into grill and emptied after
each use. Do not remove grease tray until grill has
completely cooled.
• Clean grill often, preferably after each cookout. If a bristle
brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces,
ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to
grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces
while grill is hot.
• If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from grill
onto valve, hose or regulator, turn off gas supply at once.
Determine the cause, correct it, then clean and inspect valve,
hose and regulator before continuing. Perform a leak test.
• Keep ventilation openings in cylinder enclosure (grill cart) free
and clear of debris.
• Do not store objects or materials inside the grill cart
enclosure that would block the flow of combustion air to the
underside of either the control panel or the firebox bowl.
• The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise during
operation. This will not affect safety or use of grill.
• If you have a grill problem see the "Troubleshooting Section".
• If the regulator frosts, turn off grill and LP cylinder valve
immediately. This indicates a problem with the cylinder and it
should not be used on any product. Return to supplier!
Storing Your Grill
• Clean cooking grates.
• Store in dry location.
• When LP tank is connected to grill, store outdoors in well-
ventilated space and out of reach of children.
• Cover grill if stored outdoors.
• Store grill indoors ONLY if LP tank is turned off and
disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.
• When removing grill from storage follow "Cleaning Burner
Assembly" instructions before starting grill.
CAUTION
• Do not preheat the grill on HIGH with the lid closed
for longer than 15 minutes. Preheating the grill
with the lid closed beyond this point can result in
excessive cooking temperatures, risk of injury.
* Putting out grease fires by closing the lid is not
possible. Grills are well ventilated for safety
reasons.
* Do not use water on
a
grease fire. Personal injury
may result. If a grease fire develops, turn knobs
and LP cylinder off.
* Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or
burning off food residue on HIGH. If grill has not
been regularly cleaned, a grease fire can occur
that may damage the product.
