SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

•Do not let children use the range top burners.

•Never let children crawl or hang on the range top burners.

•Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the range top burners are being used.

•Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to the grate, burners or hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.

•Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam- type fire extinguisher.

•Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.

•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 use on the range top burners. Unsuitable types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the manufacturer’s directions.

•Do not heat unopened food containers as a buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst.

•Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder. Do not let pot holders touch the burner grate.

•Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.

•When using a range top burner, always use flat-bottomed pans which are large enough to cover the burner. Adjust the flame so that it heats only the bottom of the pan to avoid ignition of clothing. Position handles inward away from open edges of the unit to avoid burns associated with spillovers. Hold the handle of the pan with a pot holder when turning or stirring food.

•For proper lighting and performance of the burners it is necessary to keep the ports clean.

•Thoroughly clean the range top burners on a regular basis.

•Clean the range top burners with caution. To avoid steam burns, do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the range top burner while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
