IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
_i WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, read and
follow these basic precautions before operal_ng your gas grill or side burners.
1. Your unit should be properly installed and connected to the gas for which it
was designed. Do not use charcoal, wood chips, or other material in your
grill. The smoker tray is the only area designed to hold wood chips or
other smoke flavor enhancers.
2. Have the technician show you the location of the gas shut-off valve so you
can shut offthe gas supply in an emergency. Ifyou smell gas, the
connections are not properly sealed oryou may have a hole in the gas
supply pipe or hose. Determining where the gas leak isshould be left to a
qualified technician. Warranty service must be performed by an authorized
service agency.
3. Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the gas
grill is being used. Never allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the
grill at any time. Do not store items of interest to children around the grill.
Never allow children to crawl inside the carl or masonry enclosure.
4. Use a covered hand when opening the hood and do so slowly to allow
heat and steam to escape. To avoid burns when cooking, use long
handled BBQ tools. Never lean over an open grill.
5. Use sturdy, properly insulated gloves or potholders. Dish towels or other
substitutes can become entangled causing burns. Use dry potholders; wet
potholders create steam and cause burns. Keep potholders away from
open flames when lifting or moving utensils. Do not touch portions of the
grill rack or burner grate with potholders until the hot surfaces have cooled.
6. Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. Use of these types of materials
may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium
heat settings.
7. Select the correct pan sizefor the burner. Be sure the pan is large enough
to avoid boil-overs or spill-overs. This will both save cleaning, prevent
accumulations of food, heavy splattering or spill-overs that can catch fire.
8. Never leave the grill unattended. High flame and fatty meats will promote
flare ups.
9. This unit isfor outdoor use only! Do not operate in enclosed areas. This
could result in carbon monoxide build-up which would result in injury or
death.
10. When using the grill, do not touch the grill grates, open burner grates or
immediate surrounding areas. These surfaces become extremely hot and
could cause burns. Be sure all controls are turned off and the unit has
cooled before touching or cleaning any surfaces.
11. Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill racks. This can upset
combustion air flow or trap excessive heat inthe control area. The result of
this can be melted knobs.
