Warnings & Safety

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, read and follow these basic precautions before operating your gas grill.

Your unit should be properly installed and connected to the gas for which it was designed. Do not use charcoal, wood chips, or other material in your grill. The smoker tray is the only area designed to hold wood chips or other smoke flavor enhancers.

Have the technician show you the location of the gas shut-off valve so you can shut off the gas supply in an emergency. If you smell gas, the connections are not properly sealed or you may have a hole in the gas supply pipe or hose. Determining where the gas leak is should be left to a qualified technician. Warranty service must be performed by an authorized service agency.

Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the gas grill is being used. Never allow children to sit, stand or play on or around the grill at any time. Do not store items of interest to children around the grill. Never allow children to crawl inside the cart or masonry enclosure.

Use a covered hand when opening the hood and do so slowly to allow heat and steam to escape. To avoid burns when cooking, use long handled BBQ tools. Never lean over an open grill.

Use sturdy, properly insulated gloves or potholders. Dish towels or other substitutes can become entangled, causing burns. Use dry potholders; wet potholders create steam and cause burns. Keep potholders away from open flames when lifting or moving utensils. Do not touch portions of the grill rack or burner grate with potholders until the hot surfaces have cooled.

Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. These types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings.

Select the correct pan size for the burner. Be sure the pan is large enough to avoid boilovers or spillovers. This will save cleaning, and prevent accumulations of food, heavy splattering, or spillovers that can catch fire.

NEVER leave the grill unattended. High flames and fatty meats will promote flare ups.
