Cooking On the Gas Grill

!WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire, explosion or burn hazard:

•Never use charcoal or lighter fluid in your gas grill. Keep this outdoor cooking appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

•Keep any electrical supply cord and regulator hose away from any heated surfaces.

•Make sure there are no gas leaks or obstructions to the flow of combustion and ventilation air before each use.

•Keep the ventilation openings of the LP Gas Cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.

•Do not attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or other liquids. Have an ABC or BC fire extinguisher readily accessible. Never douse or spray the grill or cooking surfaces with water when hot. Burns from grease or water splatters could occur.

•If your gas grill catches on fire:

-If the fire is in the grill portion and you can safely reach the Control Knobs on the Control Panel, then turn them to the “Off” position.

-If the fire is in one of the hoses, and you can safely reach the LP Gas Cylinder valve, then shut the valve off.

-If the fire involves the LP Gas Cylinder, leave it alone, evacuate the area, and call the Fire Department.

-If there is any type of fire that threatens either personal safety or endangers property, call the Fire Depart- ment.

•Do not use the grill without Bottom Panel and Grease Pan in place. Check the Foil Pan and Grease Pan for build-up. Empty excess grease to avoid a grease fire in the pan.

•If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from the grill onto the valve, hose, or regulator, turn off the gas supply immediately. After the grill has cooled, determine the cause and correct it. After cleaning the valve, hose, and regulator assembly, perform a leak test before continuing use. See “Performing a Leak Test.”

•Do not operate a gas grill if you have knowledge of or suspect a gas leak.

•Do not wear loose clothing (example: hanging shirt tails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a gas grill while in use or hot.

•Do not lean your body over the gas grill when lighting it or while it is in use or hot.

•Do not touch hot surfaces. Use heat-resistant gloves, long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times, since the grill will become very hot.

•Do not allow children to operate or play near a gas grill. Keep children, animals and bystanders out of the grill area. Do not leave grill unattended.

•Do not move an LP gas grill when in use or hot.

•When grill is not in use, turn off all grill Control Knobs, LP Gas Cylinder valve, and disconnect the

LP Gas Cylinder.

Grill Cooking (Direct Method)

!WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or explosion:

•Do not cover more than half (50%) of the cooking area if using griddle plates. Full coverage of cooking area will cause overheating below the plates.

•Always make sure the Foil Pan, Grease Pan, and Bottom Panel are empty and are properly installed under the Bowl before each cooking.

•Do not leave any utensils or cookware on a hot cooking surface.
