SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE!

Certain Liquid Propane dealers may fill liquid propane cylinders for use in the outdoor appliance beyond cylinder filling capacity. This “Overfilling” may create a dangerous condition.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE!

Be sure to remove covers from grill, griddle or side burners before attempting to light or use.

“Overfilled” tanks can build up excess pressure. As a safety device, the tanks pressure relief valve will vent propane gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure. This vapor is combustible and therefore can be ignited. To reduce this danger, you should take the following safety precautions:

1.When you have your tank filled, be sure you tell the supplier to fill it to no more than 3/4 (75%) of its total capacity.

2. If you own or use a spare tank, or have a disconnected tank, you should NEVER store it near or under the outdoor appliance/cart unit or heat box, or near any other igni- tion or heat source. A metallic sticker with this warning is provided with the grill to remind you, your family and all others who may use your grill of these safety precautions. Install this sticker close to your barbeque grill.

3. Do not store a full tank in direct sunlight.

WARNING!

Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” section of this manual. This outdoor appliance is for outdoor use only.

WARNING!

Push and hold the igniter button, turn the selected burner knob to “HI” or “SEAR”. If burner does not light in 4 to 5 seconds turn knob “OFF” and wait minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate before trying again.

■Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions within this manual. Have your outdoor appli- ance installed by a qualified technician. Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut-off valve is located so that you know where to shut off the gas to the outdoor ap- pliance. If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly sealed, you can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell. Finding a leak is not a “do-it-yourself ” procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the “ON” position and this must be done by a qualified technician.

•Always follow lighting instructions.

•Lid must be off before lighting the grill or side burners.

•Check for gas leaks before lighting.

•Never lean over an open grill when lighting. Serious burns may result.

WARNING

•Hot surfaces surrounding grill grates could cause serious burns.

•Always leave at least 12" clearance to combustibles around the grill.

•Never store a spare LP cylinder under or near this unit.

•Never fill the tank beyond 3/4 full. A fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

■Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the outdoor appliance is being used. Never allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the outdoor appliance at any time. When in use, portions of the outdoor appliance can get hot enough to cause severe burns.

■Do not store items of interest to children around or below the outdoor appliance, in the cart or masonry enclo- sure. Never allow children to crawl inside a cart or enclosure.
