Viking VGBQ54203REN Gas Grill User Manual

Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of the grill and block the
gas and air flow to the burner ports. This may cause a fire from
behind the manifold cover. Inspect and clean the burners
periodically.
Keep the ventilation openings at the rear of the cart and cylinder
enclosure free and clear to allow proper flow of air. Do not obstruct
the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Clothing fires are potential hazards. Do not wear long flowing
sleeves around the grill. They are easily caught on pan handles or
ignited by burners and are generally in the way. Highly flammable
clothing—especially synthetic fabrics—should not be worn while
cooking.
DO NOT heat any unopened glass or metal containers on the grill.
Pressure may build up and cause the container to burst, resulting in
serious personal harm or damage to the grill.
DO NOT move the appliance during use.
Be sure all controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using
any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the grill. The chemical that
produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite
or cause metal parts to corrode.
DO NOT remove the plastic cover on the rotisserie motor switch
due to safety considerations.
If the following instructions are not followed exactly, a fire causing
death or serious injury may occur.
o Do not store a spare gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
o Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
Warnings & Safety
Getting Started

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.
DO NOT use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill racks. This can
upset combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the control area,
resulting in melted knobs.
The handle of your cooking utensil should be positioned so that it
does not extend over adjacent surface burners or interfere with
closing the canopy. This will minimize burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and possible spillage. Let hot pans cool in a safe place
out of children’s reach.
NEVER grill without the drip tray in place. Make sure it is pushed all
the way to the back—in proper position—to catch the drippings.
Let the grease cool before attempting to remove for cleaning or
disposal. Do not allow large amounts of grease to accumulate in the
drip tray as it can catch on fire.
Before storing, make sure the gas grill is cool. The gas must be
turned off at the supply tank, removed, and stored outside in a
well-ventilated area out of the reach of children.
Keep all electric cords away from heated areas of the grill.
When cooking in windy conditions, provide a wind break. Locate
the unit with proper clearance from combustible surfaces.

This unit is for outdoor use only! Do not operate in a building, garage or
any other enclosed areas. This could result in carbon monoxide buildup
which could result in injury or death.
WARNING
Before lighting the burners inspect the gas supply piping or hose. If there
is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use.
Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible
when lighting.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not use the grill as storage area for flammable
materials. Keep area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
liquids. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
