birth defects and other reproductive harm.

stable surface.

• If the fire is in the grill portion and you can safely
reach the Control Knob, then turn it “OFF” by
turning knob clockwise. If you cannot safely reach
the Control Knob, call the fire department.
• If the fire involves the cylinder, leave it alone,
evacuate the area and call the fire department.

department.
