CAUTION-Prevention of Burns
1. To avoid burns, do not touch metal parts of the grill until they have completely cooled for at least 45 minutes or unless you
are wearing protective gear such as pot holders, gloves, BBQ mittens, etc.
2. Always open the grill lid carefully and slowly as heat and steam trapped within the grill could cause severe burns.

DANGER – Gas Safety
Liquid propane (LP) gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become aware of its characteristics before using any
propane product.
•
Propane Characteristics: Flammable, explosive under pressure, heavier than air and settles in pools in low areas.
•
In its natural state, propane has no odor. For your safety, an odorant has been added.
•
Contact with propane could cause freeze burns to the skin.
•
This grill is shipped from the factory for propane gas use only.
•
Never use a propane cylinder with a damaged body, valve, collar or footing.
•
Dented or rusted propane cylinders may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane gas supplier.
• Never keep a filled container in a hot car or car trunk. Heat will cause the gas pressure to increase, which may open the
release valve and allow gas flow to escape.

wind.
Never store or use gasoline or other flammable or volatile substances in the vicinity of this grill or in the vicinity of any other heat-
generating appliance, because of the danger of starting a fire.
