Warnings & Safety
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.
Have the technician show you the location of the gas shut-off valve
so you can shut off the gas supply in an emergency. If you smell
gas, the connections are not properly sealed or you may have a
hole in the gas supply pipe or hose. Determining where the gas
leak is should be left to a qualified technician. Warranty service
must be performed by an authorized service agency.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where
the gas grill is being used. Never allow children 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
cart or masonry enclosure.
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.
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.
Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. These types of
materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on
low or medium heat settings.
Select the correct pan size for the burner. Be sure the pan is large
enough to avoid boilovers or spillovers. This will save cleaning, and
prevent accumulations of food, heavy splattering, or spillovers that
can catch fire.
NEVER leave the grill unattended. High flames and fatty meats will
promote flare ups.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, read and follow
these basic precautions before operating your gas grill.
