SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this guide.
• Children should not be left alone or
unattended in an area where the cooking
center is being used.
• 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. Unsuitable
types of materials may break with sudden
temperature changes. Use only on low or
medium heat settings according to the
manufacturer’s directions.
• Do not heat unopened food containers as a
build-up of pressure may cause the container
to burst.
• Use a pot holder when opening the roll top
lid. Open the lid slowly to allow heat and
steam to escape.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth in place of a pot holder. Do not let pot
holders touch hot portions of the grill rack or
burner grates.
• Never lean over an open grill.
• Pay close attention when lighting a burner.
Be certain you are rotating the igniter labeled
for the burner you intend on using.
• When using the grill, do not touch the grill
rack, burner grate or immediate surrounding
areas as these areas become extremely hot
and could cause burns. Keep children away!
• Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool
before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting
grease deposits collect in the drip pans. Clean
the drip pans often.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line drip
pans or grill racks. This can severely upset
combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in
the control area. The result of this can be
melted knobs or rotary igniters.
• When using the range-top burners always use
flat-bottomed pans which are large enough to
cover the burner. Adjust the flame so that it
heats only the bottom of the pan to avoid
ignition of clothing. Position handles inward
away from open edges of the unit to avoid
burns associated with spillovers. Hold the
handle of the pan with a pot holder when
turning or stirring food.
• Do not use the grill for cooking excessively
fatty meats or products which promote
flare-ups.
• Never grill without the drip pan in place and
pushed all the way to the back of the grill.
Without it hot grease could leak downward
and produce a fire or explosion hazard.
• Do not leave the cooking center unattended
while cooking.
• For proper lighting and performance of the
burners it is necessary to keep the ports clean.
• 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 noxious fumes or can ignite if
applied to a hot surface.
• At least once a year, the unit should be
inspected for the presence of spiders, spider
webs or other insects. The burner area is a
common and desired spider haven and can
present a dangerous condition which can
damage the cooking center and render it
unsafe for use. The presence of spiders,
spider webs or other insects can cause the gas
to flow from the front of the burner. This is a
very dangerous condition which can cause a
fire to occur behind the valve panel. Check
the cooking center immediately if any of the
following conditions exist:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with
extreme yellow tipping of the burner
flames.
2. The grill or range-top burners do not
reach temperature.
3. The grill or range-top burners heat
unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.
