Cooking On the Gas Grill
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. Ke ep this outdoor cooking appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Keep any electrical supply cord an d regulator hose away from any heated surfaces.
• Make sure there are no gas leaks or obstruc tions to the flow of combustion and ventilation air before each use.
• Keep the ventilation openings of the LP Gas Cylin der enclosure free and clear from debris.
• Always open the Hood be fore lighting the LP gas grill.
• Do not attempt to extinguish a grease f ire with water or other liquids. Have a BC fire extinguisher accessible.
Never douse or spray the grill or cooking surfaces with water when hot. Bur ns 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 G rease 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 drip ping from the grill onto the valve, hose, or regulator, turn off the
gas supply immediately. After the grill has cooled, determine the cause and correc t it. After cleaning the valve,
hose, and regulator assembly, perform a leak test before continuing use. See “Pe rforming a Leak Test.”
• Do not operate a gas grill if you have knowle dge of or suspect a gas leak.

the grill will become very hot. Open the Hood carefully w hen cooking to avoid burns from the hot air and steam
trapped inside.
• Do not allow children to operate or play near a gas gr ill. 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.
