SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT

We urge you to read this manual carefully and to follow the recommendations enclosed. This will help assure you of the most enjoyable and trouble-free operation of your new Ducane® Gas Grill. We also advise you to keep this manual for future reference.

WARNING: Your grill has been designed to operate using only the gas specified on the rating plate. Do not attempt to operate your grill on other gases. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire hazard and bodily harm, and will void your warranty.

CAUTION: FOR YOUR SAFETY Do not store any flammable materials in any cabinets beneath the grill burner box or in the vicinity of your grill.

WARNING: Be sure to have your LP (propane) tank filled by a reputable propane dealer. An incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP tank can be dangerous. The overfilled condition combined with the warming of the LP tank (a hot summer day, tank left in the sun) can cause LP gas to be released by the pressure relief valve on the tank since the temperature increase causes the propane to expand. LP gas released from the tank is flammable and can be explosive.

WARNING: Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance; Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full; If this information is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

To minimize exposure to these substances always operate this unit according to the use and care manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when cooking with gas.

Locating Your Grill

•Your Ducane® Gas Grill is manufactured for outdoor use only! Any grill, charcoal or gas, produces carbon monoxide while in operation and the gas should not be allowed to accumulate in a confined area. Never operate this grill inside your home or recreational vehicle or any enclosed area.

•When locating your grill, choose a safe outdoor location away from flammable or combustible surfaces and out of traffic paths. Ducane® strongly recommends a 24” clearance to combustible surfaces.

•Consult your local codes for possible additional restrictions on location or operation of your grill.

•As your grill uses gas, it requires air to burn properly. Do not locate your grill in such manner or as to obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the grill.

•When possible, adjust your grills’ position to reduce the likelihood of wind blowing onto it.

CAUTION: Never operate your grill under any overhead combustible construction.

CAUTION: This grill is not intended to be installed in or attached to a recreational vehicle. It is also not intended to be installed in or on a boat.

WARNING: Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire, explosion and bodily harm.

Assembly

Make sure your grill is assembled properly. Detailed assembly instructions are packed with each grill giving specific assembly procedures for each model. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure the correct and safe assembly of the grill.

CAUTION: Although we take every effort to ensure that the assembly process is as easy and as safe as possible, it is inherent with fabricated steel parts that corners and edges can cause cuts if improperly handled during assembly procedures. Be careful while handling any parts during assembly. It is strongly recommended that you protect hands with a pair of work gloves.
