DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE
COOKING.
SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
When properly cared for your grill will provide safe, reliable
service for many years. However, extreme care must be
used as the grill produces intense heat that can increase
accident potential. When using this appliance basic safety
practices must be followed, including the following:
Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All other service
should be referred to a qualified technician.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area
where the grill is being used. Do not allow them to sit, stand
or play in or around the grill at any time. Do not store items of
interest to children around or below the grill.
Do not permit clothing, pot holders or other flammable
materials to come close or in contact with any grate, burner
or hot surface until it has cooled. The fabric could ignite and
cause 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 materials may break with sudden temperature
changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings in
accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Do not heat unopened food containers. A build-up of
pressure may cause the containers to burst.
When lighting a burner, pay close attention to what you are
doing. Make certain you are aware of which burner you are
lighting, so your body and clothing remain clear of open
flames.
When using the grill, do not touch immediate surroundings
as these areas become extremely hot and could cause
burns. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may cause steam burns. Do not use a
towel or bulky cloth in place or potholders. Do not allow
potholders to touch hot portions of the grill rack.
Clean the grill with caution. To avoid steam burns, do not
use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is hot.
Some cleaners produce toxic fumes or can ignite if applied
to a hot surface.
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.
Turn off grill controls and make certain 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.
Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible
materials including, fluids, trash, and vapors such as
gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid.
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting
to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits accumulate in the
grease cup. Empty the grease cup after every use.
Never use water on a grease fire. Personal injury may
result.
WARNING
Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas
supply valve and check the connections before each
use.
