Safety Practices & Precautions

■After a period of storage or non-use (such as over the winter), the gas grill should be checked for gas leaks, dete- rioration, proper assembly, and burner obstructions before using.

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

■Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst.

■Always use a covered hand when opening the grill hood and only do so slowly to allow heat and steam to escape.

■Never lean over an open grill. When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be cer- tain you are pushing the ignition button when you attempt to light the grill.

■After lighting burners, make sure burners are operating normally (see section ‘Burner adjustment’).

■When using the grill, do not touch the grill, grate, or immediate surrounding area as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.

■Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the drip pan. Clean often.

■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 compo- nents.

■The prongs of the rotisserie forks are very sharp. Take care when unpacking, assembling, or handling the rotis- serie to avoid injury.

■Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer for repair.

■Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.

■Do not use an outdoor cooking appliance for purposes other than intended.

■This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction con- cerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
