IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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

•Improper use or installation is dangerous. Carefully follow these instructions.

•Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

•Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range top burners unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

•Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is located so that you know where to shut off the gas to the range top burners.

•Never use the range top burners if there is a gas leak present.

•If you smell gas, the installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. You can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if the connections are not completely tight.

Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position and for your protection it must be done by a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

•Never connect an unregulated gas line to the range top burners.

•Your range top burners are for outdoor use only. Tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.58, Latest Edition standard for outdoor cooking gas appliances.

•Check your local building codes for the proper method of installation. In the absence of local codes, this unit should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code No. Z223.1, Latest Edition and the National Electrical Code ANSI-NFPA No. 70, Latest Edition.

•Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the lighting instructions in this manual.

•Always remove the cover before lighting the range top burners.

•Always wait 5 minutes before relighting the burners to let any accumulated gas dissipate.

•Read this manual carefully and completely before using your range top burners to reduce the risk of fire, burn hazard or other injury. Please retain this manual for future reference.

•Keep the area surrounding the range top burners clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, other flammable liquids or vapors, charcoal lighter fluid and trash.

•Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the range top burners. On cart-mounted units, keep the area beneath the burners free of debris. If the range top burners are built in do not store gas cylinders beneath the unit without adequate ventilation.
