SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS

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.

Never attach or disconnect an LP cylinder, or move or alter gas fittings when the grill is in operation or is hot.

Clean and perform general maintenance on the grill twice a year. Watch for corrosion, cracks, or insect activity. Check the regulator, hoses, burner ports, air shutter, and venturi/valve section carefully. Always turn off gas at the source (tank or supply line) prior to inspecting parts.

After a period of storage or non-use (such as over the winter), the gas grill should be checked for gas leaks, dete- rioration, proper assembly, and burner obstructions before using.

Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst.

Always use a covered hand when taking off the lid and only do so slowly to allow heat and steam to escape.

Never lean over an open outdoor appliance. When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing.

After lighting burners, make sure burners are operating normally (see pages 21 and 22).

When using the outdoor appliance, do not touch the outdoor appliance burner grate or immediate surrounding area as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.

Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the drip pan. Clean often.

For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking. Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for outdoor appliance use. Use of some types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the manufacturer’s directions.

WARNING!

Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this and any other outdoor appliance, and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. The gas will flow from the front of the burner into the control panel. This is a very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the outdoor appliance compo- nents and making it unsafe to operate.

WARNING!

Keep the area surrounding the outdoor appliance 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.

WARNING!

Never use the outdoor appliance in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountain- top, etc.) a wind break will be required. Always adhere to the specified clearances listed.
