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

1.When you have your tank 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 tank, or have a disconnected tank, you should NEVER

store it near or under the grill/cart unit or heat box, or near any other ignition or heat source. A metallic 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.

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

WARNING!

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.

■Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions within this manual. Have your grill installed by a qualified installer. Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut-off valve is located so that you know where and how to shut off the gas to 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 technician.

•Always follow lighting instructions.

•Lid must be opened before lighting the grill.

•Check for gas leaks before lighting.

•Never lean over an open grill when lighting. Serious burns may result.

WARNING

•Hot surfaces surrounding grill grates could cause serious burns.

•Always leave at least 12" clearance to combustibles around the grill.

•Never store a spare LP cylinder under or near this unit.

•Never fill the tank beyond 3/4 full. A fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

■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 LP cylinder, or move or alter gas fittings when the grill is in operation or is hot.

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