SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE!

Certain Liquid Propane dealers may fill liquid propane cylinders for use in the grill beyond cylinder filling capacity. This “Overfilling” may create a dangerous condition.

“Overfilled” cylinders can build up excess pressure. As a safety device, the cylinder pressure relief valve will vent propane gas vapour to relieve this excess pressure. This vapour is combustible and therefore can be ignited. To reduce this danger, you should take the following safety precautions:

1.When you have your cylinder filled, be sure you tell the supplier to fill it to no more than 3/4 (75%) of its total capacity.

2.If you own or use a spare cylinder, or have a disconnected cylinder, you should NEVER store it near or under the grill/cart unit or heat box, or near any other ignition or heat source. A sticker with this warning is provided with the grill to remind you, your family and all others who may use your BBQ grill of these safety precautions. Install this sticker close to your barbeque grill in a visible location that is not exposed to the elements or extreme heat.

3.Do not store a full cylinder in direct sunlight.

WARNING!

Sticker

Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” section of this manual. This grill is for outdoor use only.

WARNING!

Push and hold the igniter button, turn the selected burner knob to “SEAR”. If burner does not light in 4 to 5 seconds turn knob “OFF” and wait 5 minutes before trying again for any accumulated gas to dissipate.

WARNING:IMPORTANT!

Before each use, inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas “on”. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use.

Never leave the appliance unattended during use.

the grill. If you smell gas, your installer has not
done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the

connections are not perfectly sealed, you can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell. Finding a leak is not a “do-it-yourself ” procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the “ON” position and this must be done by a qualified gas fitter.

■Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Never allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the grill at any time. When in use, portions of the grill get hot enough to cause severe burns.

■Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill, in the cart or masonry enclosure. Never allow children to crawl inside a cart or enclosure.

■Never attach or disconnect an LPG cylinder, or move or alter gas fittings when the grill is in operation or is hot.

■Use caution when closing the hood, especially if there are children around. Check that the path of the hood is clear, as its weight could cause injury to hands or fingers caught under it.

■Clean and perform general maintenance on the grill twice a year. Watch for corrosion, cracks, or insect activity. Have a qualified gas fitter check the regulator, hoses, burner ports, air shutter, and venturi/valve section carefully. Always turn off gas at the source (cylinder or supply line) prior to inspecting parts.
