SECTION 1: SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR BARBECUE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When properly cared for, your new Thermador Char
Glo® barbecue has been designed to be a safe and
reliable appliance. However, extreme care must be
used as the grill produces intense heat and can increase
the potential for accidents or injury. When using this
appliance, basic safety precautions must be followed,
including the following:
• Read this manual carefully before using the
barbecue to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
• Insure proper installation. Follow the instructions
in Sections 3 through 5 in the Installation Instructions.
Have the installer show you where the gas supply
shutoff valve is located, and how to shut off the gas to
the barbecue. Always adhere to the minimum clearances
to combustible materials as specified in Section 3.
• Do not repair or replace any part of this
appliance unless specifically recommended in this
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified service technician.
• If you smell gas when the unit is not in use, have the
unit checked for leaks as defined in Section 4 and
Section 5 of the Installation Instructions. Finding a gas leak
is not a do-it-yourself procedure as some leaks can only
be found with the burner control in the ON position.
This must be done by a qualified technician.
• If you smell gas when the unit is in use, immediately
shut off all controls. Open the lid and let the gas
dissipate for at least five minutes. Relight the burner(s)
and verify that they are operating properly. If the
burner(s) fail to relight or are not operating properly,
shut of the gas to the unit and have the unit checked by
a qualified service technician. See Section 9.
• Children should not be left unattended in the
area where the barbecue is being used. Never
allow children to sit, stand or play on or around the
barbecue at any time. When in use, portions of the grill
get hot enough to cause severe burns. Children should
never be allowed to crawl inside the cart or enclosure.
• To avoid the potential for a grease fire, frequently
clean the drip tray. Be sure to let the unit cool
completely before removing the tray for cleaning.
• This appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection against
shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut
or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
• Be aware that spiders and insects can nest in
the burners of this barbecue. This can obstruct the
proper flow of gas into the burner and cause improper
operation, fire hazard and potential damage to the unit.
Inspect the burners periodically, or immediately if any
of the symptoms denoted in Section 8 exist.
• The top cover (hood) is to be closed during the
outdoor cooking gas appliance preheat period.
• Never move barbecue with hood raised.
• Keep hands and fingers away from all edges of the
hood when it is in raised position.
WARNING
Never block vent opening at rear of hood. Use with
the vent opening blocked will result in damage to the
unit and may cause a fire or injury.
