12. Keep any electrical supply cord away from the heated areas of the grill. The cord is provided with a
3-prong grounding plug which should not be removed or altered. Do not use this appliance with an
ungrounded, 2-prong adapter. The cord must be plugged into a properly grounded GFCI-protected outlet.
See INSTALLATION section of this manual.
13. Spiders and insects like to nest in the burners, venturis, valves, and orifices of a grill, disrupting the gas
flow in the burner. This very dangerous condition can cause a fire behind the control panel, damaging
the grill and risking personal injury. If your grill has been unused for a long time, inspect and clean the
burners, venturis, valves, and orifices. It is recommended you inspect your grill at least twice a year. See
BURNER ADJUSTMENT section of this manual for details.
14. Keep the areas surrounding the grill free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and
vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion gases (rear) and
ventilation airways (front).
15. If your grill is mounted on a cart, keep the rear area free and clear of debris, extra LP cylinders, etc. Do
not block the ventilation louvers of the cart.
16. If your grill is mounted on a cart and stored indoors, ensure that it is cool before moving. If propane is
used, the LP cylinder must be disconnected and stored OUTSIDE in a well-ventilated area, out of the
reach of children. A grill cover is recommended, even when stored indoors.
17. Never move the grill when hot. When in use, portions of the grill are hot enough to cause severe burns.
18. Always have an “ABC” type fire extinguisher accessible – never attempt to extinguish a grease fire with
water or other liquids.
19. Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments or long sleeves while grilling. They could ignite. For personal
safety, wear proper apparel while grilling. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be
worn while grilling.
20. Never let pot holders, grill covers, or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any
cooking grate, burner, or hot surface until it has cooled down sufficiently. Fabrics may ignite and result
in personal injury. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns
from steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot
portions of the cooking grates or warming racks.
21. Never touch the cooking grates, hood, or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands
while grilling, as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns. Use only the handles and
knobs provided for operation of the grill.
22. Protect your hand when opening a hot grill hood. Use an insulated glove or mitt when operating the grill.
Always open the hood slowly to allow heat and smoke to escape before fully opening. Keep your face and
body as far away as possible when opening the hood. Never lean over an open hot grill.
23. The grill hood must be fully opened while lighting the grill. Opening the gas valves on a closed grill
before lighting will not make it light sooner or more efficiently. It will only risk explosion and personal
injury, or death. Never lean over a hot grill surface, or look directly into the grill when attempting to
light. See the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual.
24. Do not heat unopened food containers (cans) as pressure build-up will cause the container to explode.
25. Do not use aluminum foil to line cooking grates or the drip tray. This will alter the airflow to the grill or
trap excessive heat in the control area. This can melt control knobs, wiring, or igniters, and increase the
risk of personal injury. Such damage is specifically excluded from our warranty.
26. Never grill without the drip tray in place and pushed all the way to the back of the grill. Without the drip
tray, hot grease can leak downward creating a fire or explosion hazard.
27. Grease is extremely flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle or dispose of it. Avoid
letting grease deposits collect in the bottom of the grill by cleaning the drip tray often. Never clean while
the grill is on, or hot from recent use.
