SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When properly cared for, your new Thermador Char Glo® barbecue has been designed to be a safe and reliable appliance. However, extreme care must be used as the grill produces intense heat and can increase the potential for accidents or injury. When using this appliance, basic safety precautions must be followed, including the following:

•Read this manual carefully before using the barbecue to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

•Insure proper installation. Follow the instructions in Sections 3 through 5 in the Installation Instructions. Have the installer show you where the gas supply shutoff valve is located, and how to shut off the gas to the barbecue. Always adhere to the minimum clearances to combustible materials as specified in Section 3.

•Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified service technician.

•If you smell gas when the unit is not in use, have the unit checked for leaks as defined in Section 4 and Section 5 of the Installation Instructions. Finding a gas leak is not a do-it-yourself procedure as some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position. This must be done by a qualified technician.

•If you smell gas when the unit is in use, immediately shut off all controls. Open the lid and let the gas dissipate for at least five minutes. Relight the burner(s) and verify that they are operating properly. If the burner(s) fail to relight or are not operating properly, shut of the gas to the unit and have the unit checked by a qualified service technician. See Section 9.

•Children should not be left unattended in the area where the barbecue is being used. Never allow children to sit, stand or play on or around the barbecue at any time. When in use, portions of the grill get hot enough to cause severe burns. Children should never be allowed to crawl inside the cart or enclosure.

•To avoid the potential for a grease fire,frequently clean the drip tray. Be sure to let the unit cool completely before removing the tray for cleaning.

•This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

•Be aware that spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this barbecue. This can obstruct the proper flow of gas into the burner and cause improper operation, fire hazard and potential damage to the unit. Inspect the burners periodically, or immediately if any of the symptoms denoted in Section 8 exist.

•The top cover (hood) is to be closed during the outdoor cooking gas appliance preheat period.

•Never move barbecue with hood raised.

•Keep hands and fingers away from all edges of the hood when it is in raised position.

▲! WARNING

Never block vent opening at rear of hood. Use with the vent opening blocked will result in damage to the unit and may cause a fire or injury.

▲! CAUTION

Always use wood chips that have been soaked in water. Place the chips in the back half of the smoker tray. Failure to soak chips may result in a fire and damage the unit.
