PRECAUTIONS
Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or
bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let
potholders touch hot portions of the grill rack.
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before
attempting to handle it. Avoid letting excess
grease deposits collect in the grease tray at the
bottom of the grill’s firebox. Clean often.
DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL TO LINE
THE GRILL RACKS OR GRILL BOTTOM.
This can severely upset combustion air flow or
trap excessive heat in the control area.
For proper lighting and performance of the
burners keep the burner ports clean. It is
necessary to clean them periodically for
optimum performance. The burners will only
operate in one position and must be mounted
correctly for safe operation.
Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns;
do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the
grill while it is hot. Some cleaners produce
noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot
surface.
INSECT WARNING!!! Spiders and insects can
nest in the burners of this and any other grill,
and cause the gas to flow improperly. This is a
very dangerous condition which can cause a
fire to occur behind the control panel, thereby
damaging the grill and making it unsafe to
operate. Inspect the grill twice a year.
Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the
grill is cool before using any type of aerosol
cleaner on or around the grill. The chemical
that produces the spraying action could, in the
presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to
corrode.
DO NOT STORE ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN AROUND OR BELOW THE
GRILL OR IN THE CART. NEVER ALLOW
CHILDREN TO CRAWL INSIDE OF THE
CART.
Never let clothing, pot holders or other
flammable materials come in contact with or
too close to any grate, burner or hot surface
until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and
result in personal injury.
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 grill use. These 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
build-up of pressure may cause the container
to burst.
Use a covered hand when opening the grill lid.
Never lean over an open grill.
WHEN LIGHTING A BURNER, ALWAYS
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU
ARE DOING. BE CERTAIN YOU ARE
TURNING THE IGNITER LABELED FOR
THE BURNER YOU INTEND ON USING.
When using the grill, do not touch the grill
rack, burner grate or immediate surroundings
as these areas become extremely hot and
could cause burns. Use only dry potholders.
