Important Safety Instructions

Professional Outdoor Grills & Cooktops

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

•The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects

or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

•Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

Also, used in one of the components of the IR burner, is crystalline Silica.

Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances is minimized because this is an outdoor unit .

WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using your appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

•Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician

in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

a qualified technician.

•If the grill is installed by a professional installer or technician, be sure that he shows you where your gas supply shutoff is located. All gas lines must have a shutoff that is readily and easily accessible.

•Read this manual carefully and completely before using your grill or cooktop to reduce the risk of fire, burn hazard or other injury.
