DANGER
•FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. NEVER operate grill in enclosed areas, as this could lead to gas accumulating from a leak, causing an explosion or a carbon monoxide buildup which could result in injury or death. DO NOT use in garages, breezeways, sheds or any enclosed area. (Fig. 1)
•NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN. (Fig. 2)
•If these instructions are ignored, a hazardous fire or explosion could result in physical injury, death or property damage!
WARNING
•DO NOT move grill while it is lit. (Fig. 3)
•Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. (Fig. 4)
WARNING
•NEVER place more than 15 pounds on a side table or a side burner. DO NOT lean on grill. (Fig. 5)
•NEVER use charcoal briquettes or lighter fluid in a gas grill. (Fig. 6)
•Grill is hot when in use; to avoid burns, DO NOT touch any hot grill surface. Keep children and pets away from hot grill. (Fig. 7)
•NEVER leave the grill unattended while it is in use. (Fig. 8)
•It is your responsibility to assemble, install, operate and care for your gas grill properly.
•DO NOT vent propane vapor from the cylinder before taking it to be refilled.
•DO NOT use gas grill indoors or store any propane cylinder(s) indoors, including in the garage, breezeways, sheds or enclosed areas.
•Under some circumstances, propane may lose the distinctive odor that was added. Keep the service valve closed and plugged or capped (as recommended by the manufacturer) when the cylinder is not connected to the appliance, including “empty” cylinders. Other strong odors may hide or mask the odor of propane. Colds, aller- gies, sinus congestion, and the use of tobacco, alcohol or drugs may impair your ability to detect the odor of propane.
