SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANTWe urge you to read this manual carefully and to follow the recommendations enclosed. This will help assure you of the most enjoyable and trouble-free operation of your new Ducane® Gas Grill. We also advise you to keep this manual for future reference.

WARNING: Your grill has been designed to operate using only the gas specified on the rating plate. Do not attempt to operate your grill on other gases. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire hazard and bodily harm, and will void your warranty.

CAUTION: FOR YOUR SAFETY- Do not store any flammable materials in any cabinets beneath the grill burner box or in the vicinity of your grill.

WARNING: Be sure to have your LP (propane) tank filled by a reputable propane dealer. An incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP tank can be dangerous. The overfilled condition com- bined with the warming of the LP tank (a hot summer day, tank left in the sun) can cause LP gas to be released by the pressure relief valve on the tank since the temperature in- crease causes the propane to expand. LP gas released from the tank is flammable and can be explosive.

WARNING: (a) Do not store a spare gas supply cylinder under or near this appliance; (b) Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full; and (c) If the information in “(a)” and “(b)” is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

WARNING: Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces.

Do not build this model of grill in any built-in or slide in construction. Ignoring this Warning could cause a fire or an explosion that can damage property and cause serious bodily injury or death.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

WARNING: The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products which are on the list of substances known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of po- tential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances always operate this unit according to the use and care manual, ensuring you provide good ventila- tion when cooking with gas.

INSTALLATION Liquid Propane Gas Grills

Location of Your Grill

• Your Ducane® Gas Grill is manufactured for outdoor use only! Any grill, charcoal or gas, produces carbon monoxide while in operation and the gas should not be allowed to accumulate in a confined area. Never operate this grill inside a building or any enclosed area such as your home, garage or recreational vehicle.

• When locating your grill, choose a safe outdoor location away from flammable or combustible surfaces and out of traffic paths. Ducane® strongly recommends a 24” clearance to combustible surfaces and 120”(10 feet) to any fuel containers or propane cylinders.

• Consult your local codes for possible additional restrictions on location or operation of your grill.

• As your grill uses gas, it requires air to burn properly. Do not locate your grill in

such manner or as to obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the	24”
grill.
• When possible, adjust your grills’ position to reduce the likelihood of wind blowing
onto it.

CAUTION: Never operate your grill under any overhead
combustible construction.
