BEWARE OF SPIDERS
BURNER TUBES MUST BE INSPECTED AND CLEANED BEFORE EACH USE.
GENERAL WARNINGS
• All gas grills get hot during use. Use extreme caution when operating.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Always use the lid handle to open or close the grill.
• Use cooking utensils with wood handles and insulated oven mitts when operating the grill.
• Never lean over the cooking surface when lighting or operating the grill.
• Never light the appliance with the hood closed and without being certain that the burners are positioned and
seated over the gas valves and on the burner support.
• Close supervision is necessary when this or any grill is used near children. Keep children away from the grill
during operation and until it has cooled off.
• Never cook without the grease cup in place.
• Never operate this grill while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Do not store anything in the grill. Make sure food is not forgotten in the grill body; forgotten items could melt
or catch fire when the grill is turned on.
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burner tubes of gas grills. These webs
can lead to a gas flow obstruction, which could result in a fire in and around the burner tubes. This type of fire
is known as “flash-back” and can cause serious damage to your appliance and create an unsafe operating
condition for the user. Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of “flash-back,” it is the most
common cause-making necessary frequent inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes.
Before cleaning the grill, disconnect the rotisserie and trip the circuit breaker if equipped.
Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.),
a wind break will be required. Winds blowing into or across the back hood gap can result in poor performance
and/or cause the control panel and knobs to get dangerously hot.
To prevent injuries, do not use accessories that are not recommended by the manufacturer. The use of
accessories, regulators, or components not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries
and will void warranty.
