PLEASE REVIEW THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL.
1. NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
2. Ensure all tie-down wires have been removed from the burners.
3. Always use caution when operating the grill in a windy area. (See INDEX: “Grilling in Windy Condi-
tions” for further details.)
4. Avoid wearing loose-tting garments or long sleeves while grilling. They could ignite.
5. Never touch the grill racks, hood or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare
hands while grilling.
6. Use an insulated glove or mitt when opening and operating the grill. Always open the grill lid
slowly to allow heat and smoke to escape before fully opening.
7. The grill hood must be fully opened while lighting the grill. Releasing fuel into a closed grill
before lighting will not make it light sooner or more efciently. It will only risk explosion and
personal injury or death. Never lean over a hot grill surface or look directly into the grill when
attempting to light.
8. Do not heat unopened food containers as pressure build-up will cause the container to explode.
9. Do not use aluminum foil to line grill racks or drip pans. This will alter the airow or trap ex-
cessive heat in the control area and can melt control knobs and ignition modules. Such dam-
age is specically excluded from your warranty.
10. Never use charcoal or any other solid fuel in the grill.
11. Cooking excessively fatty meats and oils will cause are ups. Internal res or damage caused
by them or by the grill being left unattended while cooking are not covered under the terms
and conditions of our warranty.
12. Never grill without the drip pan in place. Always ensure the drip pan is pushed all the way to
the back of the grill. Hot grease can leak downward and produce a re or explosion.
13. Grease is extremely ammable. Let hot grease cool down before attempting to handle or dis-
pose of it. The drip tray should be cleaned of grease on a regular basis.
14. Do not use the grill unless a leak check has been performed on all gas connections. (See IN-
DEX: “Leak Test Procedure” for further details.)
15. Never operate the grill while under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.
16. Do not lean on side shelves and never place a load weighing more than 25 pounds on a side shelf.
17. If any burner does not light or goes out during operation, turn off all gas control knobs, open
the hood and wait ve (5) minutes before attempting to re-light.
18. Portable LP cylinders: Always shut off the main valve on the LP cylinder after each use.
19. Spiders and insects like to nest in the burners, venturis, valves and orices of a grill, disrupt-
ing the gas ow. This very dangerous condition can cause a re behind the control panel,
damaging the grill and risking personal injury. If your grill has been unused for a long time,
inspect and clean the burners, venturis, valves and orices. (See INDEX: “Cleaning the Brass Burner”
for further details.)
