Important Safety Notice

Important Safety Instructions

Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center

•The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

•Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances is minimized because this is an outdoor unit.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using your appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

•Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

•Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your cooking center unless it is specifically recommended in this guide. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

•Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is located so that you know where to shut off the gas to the cooking center.

•If you smell gas, the installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. You can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if the connections are not completely tight.

Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position and for your protection it must be done by a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

•This cooking center is for outdoor use only. Tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.58, Latest Edition standard for outdoor cooking gas appliances.

•Check your local building codes for the proper method of installation. In the absence of local codes, this unit should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code No. Z223.1, Latest Edition and the National Electrical Code ANSI-NFPA No. 70, Latest Edition.

•Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the lighting instructions in this guide.

•Read this guide carefully and completely before using your cooking center to reduce the risk of fire, burn hazard or other injury. Please retain this guide for future reference.

•This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

•Never allow anyone to sit, stand or play on or around the cooking center at any time. When in use, portions of the cooking center get hot enough to cause severe burns.

•Do not store items of interest to children around or below the cooking center, in the cart or built-in enclosure.

•Never allow children to crawl inside a cart or enclosure.

•Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any grate, burner or hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.

•Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam- type fire extinguisher.
