WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SPECIAL NOTE ON WINDY CONDITIONS

Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a windbreak will be required on the rear wall and both sides of the grill. Windbreak construction

is the responsibility of the owner and must adhere to the specified clearances listed in the Installation Instructions.

As a high-performance gas appliance, your grill requires significant amounts of air to support the combustion process. Your grill has been engineered to take air in through the control panel area and exhaust

the combustion byproducts out through the gap between the front and rear hoods.

Using your grill in windy conditions can disrupt the proper flow of air through your grill, leading to reduced performance or,

in certain severe cases, causing heat buildup in the control panel area. This can lead

to problems such as burn hazards when the control panel surfaces become too hot to touch and, ultimately, failure of the wiring and internal components if the conditions persist .

If you have a freestanding grill, it is best to position the unit so the prevailing wind blows into the front control panel, thus supporting the proper airflow. Winds hitting the back

of the grill directly are the most likely to cause problems, although wind blowing along the hood gap can also be problematic.

NEVER USE THE GRILL IN WINDY CONDITIONS. Wind hitting the grill while in use, especially winds blowing into or across this hood gap, can cause poor performance and in some cases can cause the control panel to get hot enough to cause burns.

Steady or gusty winds can prevent the normal exhaust of hot gases. Locate your grill away from prevailing winds and avoid grilling in windy conditions.

WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove

the grounding prong from the plug.

If an extension cord is required to operate the grill, use only a grounded cord approved for outdoor use. Use as short of cord as possible and avoid wet areas.

See all requirements in the provided Installation Instructions.
