SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Safety Practices to Avoid Per- sonal Injury
When properly cared for your Broilmaster Infrared Grill will give safe, reliable service for many years. However, ex- treme care must be used since the grill produces intense heat, which can increase accident potential. When using this appliance, basic safety practices must be followed, in- cluding the following:
Read this Installation Instructions and Owner's Manual carefully and completely before using your grill to re- duce the risk of fire, burn hazard or other injury.
Begin by ensuring proper assembly.
Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless specifi- cally recommended in this manual. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician.
For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting gar- ments or sleeves should never be worn while using this ap- pliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking. Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any grate, burner or hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
Use only dry pot holders: moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch hot portions of the grilling grids.
Only certain types of glass,
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the bot- tom of the grill. Clean often.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the grilling grids or grill bot- tom. This can severely upset combustion airflow or trap ex- cessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted knobs, igniters and increased chance of personal injury. The drip tray accessory may be lined with aluminum foil.
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. Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill or in the cart. Never allow children to crawl inside of a cart.
Do not heat unopened food containers as a
Use a covered hand when opening the grill lid. Never lean over an open grill.
When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain you are depressing the igniter
button. When using the grill: do not touch the grilling grids, burner, warming rack or immediate surrounding area as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.
For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep the ports clean. The burners will only operate in one position and must be mounted correctly for safe operation.
Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
Insect Warning - Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this and any other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condi- tion, which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate. Inspect the grill at least twice per year.
Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to cor- rode. Do not operate the grill under unprotected combus- tible construction. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways or any en- closed areas.
Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the back of the cart free and clear from debris.
If the unit is stored indoors ensure that it is cool. If propane is used, the cylinder must be unhooked and the propane cylinder stored outside in a
Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a con- sistently windy area (oceanfront, mountain top, etc) a wind- break will be required. Always adhere to the specified clear- ance.
Keep any electrical supply cord, or the optional rotisserie motor cord away from the heated areas of the grill. Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products, which promote
