Gas Grill is manufactured for outdoor use only! Any grill, charcoal
or gas, produces carbon monoxide while in operation and the gas should not be
allowed to accumulate in a confi ned area. Never operate this grill inside a building

strongly recommends a
24” clearance to combustible surfaces and 120”(10 feet) to any fuel containers or
propane cylinders.
Consult your local codes for possible additional restrictions on location or operation
of your grill.
As your grill uses gas, it requires air to burn properly. Do not locate your grill in
such manner or as to obstruct the fl ow of combustion and ventilation air around the
grill.
When possible, adjust your grills’ position to reduce the likelihood of wind blowing
onto it.

ƽ WARNING: Be sure to have your LP (propane) tank filled
by a reputable propane dealer. An incorrectly filled or an
overfilled LP tank can be dangerous. The overfilled condition
combined with the warming of the LP tank (a hot summer
day, tank left in the sun) can cause LP gas to be released by
the pressure relief valve on the tank since the temperature
increase causes the propane to expand. LP gas released
from the tank is flammable and can be explosive.

or near this appliance; (b) Never fill the cylinder beyond 80
percent full; and (c) If the information in “(a)” and “(b)” is not

supply hose away from any heated surfaces.
