SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
y After a period of storage or non-use (such as over the winter), the gas grill should be checked for
gas leaks, deterioration, proper assembly, and burner obstructions before using.
y Always use a covered hand when opening the grill hood and only do so slowly to allow heat and
steam to escape.
y After lighting burners, make sure burners are operating normally (see page 20).
y Do not use aluminium foil to line drip pans or grill grates or radiants. This can severely upset
combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted
knobs or damaged ignition components.
y Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions or after the
appliance has been damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer for repair.
y Do not let the rotisserie cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.
y Do not use an outdoor cooking appliance for purposes other than intended.
y Do not use lighter fluid in the charcoal burner insert or on the gas burners.
y 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.
y Never grill without the drip pan and grease tray in place and hooked into the front of the grease
tray (see Fig. 34 on page 40 for diagram). Without it hot grease could leak downward and
produce a fire or explosion hazard.
y If you are using griddle plates, do not place them side by side on the grill or on top of the
Infrared Hybrid Burner.
y Never use the grill in a windy area.
y Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” section of this
manual.
y Do not locate, store or operate the grill on an inclined plane.
y Keep any electrical supply cord, or the rotisserie motor cord away from the heated areas of the
grill and water (pools, fountains, puddles).
y Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free
and clear from debris.
y Have an ABC rated Fire Extinguisher accessible – never attempt to extinguish a grease fire with
water or other liquids.
y Do not move the appliance during its use.
y Do not operate in enclosed areas. This could result in carbon monoxide build-up which would
result in injury or death.
y When using a grill, be sure that all parts of the unit are firmly in place and that the grill is stable
(can’t be tipped over).
y To put out flare-ups, adjust the controls to lower the temperature
y Do not ignite the grill burners while the rotisserie burner is lit.
y Never attach or disconnect an LP cylinder, or move or alter gas fittings when the grill is in
operation or is hot.
