IMPORTANT WARNINGS:

Since this outdoor cooking appliance is movable, is fueled by natural or propane gas, generates very high tem- peratures for cooking and emits carbon monoxide as a by-product of combustion, prudent precautions must be taken to assure its safe use.

DANGER

• This Grill has been designed for OUTDOOR use only.

Never use this outdoor Grill inside any building, garage, shed, breezeway, or any other enclosed area, to prevent a possible fire and to prevent the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning or asphyxiation.

This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not intended to be installed in or on boats (any vessels). This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles.

Exposing an overfilled or a disconnected propane cylinder to heat could cause venting of fuel through the pressure release valve. Since propane vapor is heavier than air it tends to pool and, if ignited, could produce a violent fire or explosion.

Never install a propane cylinder in this grill if it is more than 80% full, as the contents may lack adequate room for expansion when exposed to heat.

Never store a spare Propane Gas Cylinder in the cylinder-compartment of this Grill, because it will be exposed to high temperatures when the Grill is in use.

The essential Warnings and Safety Instructions are located throughout the pages of this Manual, but some of the principal ones have been summarized as follows for your convenience:
