5. Caution:

To prevent fire and smoke damage, remove all pakaging mateial before

6. Before starting to cook:

Clean the grill thoroughly with hot, soapy water. This is necessary to remove

residuals and solvents used at the factory to clean and remove dirt, oil and grease

which may have remained from the manufacturing process. The grates should

thoroughly cleaned.

7. Spiders and other insects can nest in the burners of the grill and block the gas

and airflow to the burner ports. This creates a dangerous condition that can result in

a fire from behind the valve panel. Inspect and clean the burners periodically; follow

guidelines in Cleaning and Maintenance on page 26.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

8. In the event a burner goes out and gas escapes, turn off burner knobs, open fully

the grill hood and let the air out. Do not attempt to use the appliance until the gas

has had time to dissipate.

9. Unless specifically recommended in this manual, do not repair or replace any part

of the grill. A qualified technician should perform all other service. Warranty service

must be performed by an authorized service agency.

10. Never grill without the drip pan in place and pushed all the way to the back of

the grill. Without it hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire or explosion

hazard.

11. Keep any electrical supply cord, or the rotisserie motor cord away from the heat-

ed areas of the grill.

12. Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area

(oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a windbreak will be required. Always adhere to the

specified clearances listed in page 6.

13. The area surrounding your new grill should be kept clean, and free from flamma-

ble liquids and other combustible materials such as mops, rags, brooms, etc., as

well as solvents, cleaning fluids, and gasoline.

14. Do not use the grill or open burners as a storage area for flammable or plastic

items, which may ignite. Do not store spare LP cylinder or flammable materials in

the cart or under a built-in location. An LP cylinder not connected for use should not

be stored in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

15. Never line surface burners with tin foil.

16. When the unit is not in use and connected to a self-contained LP-gas supply

system, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder.

17. When not in use it is permissible for a self-contained LP-gas outdoor appliance,

to be stored indoors only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed. Cylinders

must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a

building, garage or any other enclosed area.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

18. Never locate this appliance under an overhead, unprotected combustible con-

struction or enclosed area such as a garage, shed, or breezeway. Keep clear of

trees and shrubs.

19. This outdoor gas cooking appliance is not intended to be installed in or on recre-

ational vehicles and/or boats.

Precautions Regarding Children

1) Never leave children unattended in the area

where the grill is being used.

2) Do not store items of interest to children

around or below the grill, in the cart or masonry

enclosure.

3) Never allow children to sit or stand on any

part of the grill or to crawl inside a cart or

enclosure.

Use Precautions

1) Never leave the grill and top burners

unattended while using high flame settings.

Boilovers cause smoking, and greasy boilovers

may ignite.

2) Always use the proper size pan. Select

utensils with flat bottoms large enough to cover

the burner. The use of undersized utensils

exposes the sides of the utensils to direct con-

tact with a portion of the flame. This can

scorch utensils, and hamper cleanup.

Excessive flames on large stainless steel pots

can result in permanent discoloration. For best

results, we recommend commercial quality

aluminum pans and utensils.

3) Always position handles of utensils inward,

so they do not extend over adjacent work

areas or cooking areas. This reduces the risk

of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and

spillage due to accidental contact with the

utensils.

4) Do not use water on grease fires. Never

pick up a flaming pan. Turn appliance off and

smother the flaming pan with a tight-fitting lid,

cookie sheet or flat tray. For flaming grease

outside of the pan, smother with baking soda,

or use a dry chemical or foam type fire

extinguisher.

5) Never let clothing, potholders or other flam-

mable materials come in contact with or too

close to any grate, burner or hot surface until it

has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in

personal injury.

6) When using the grill, do not tough the grill

rack, burner grate or immediate surroundings

as these areas become extremely hot and

could cause burns.

7) Proper apparel is a safety consideration.

Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments

while using your new grill.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

8) Only use dry potholders - do not use a towel

or other bulky cloth in place of potholders.

Moist or damp potholders used on hot surfaces

could cause burns from steam.

9) Do not heat any unopened glass or metal

container of food on the grill. Pressure may

build up and cause the container to burst

resulting in serious harm or damage to the grill.

10) Do not use charcoal in the grill.

REFERENCE

INSTALLATION OF YOUR NEW GRILL

Safe and satisfactory operation of your new grill depends upon its proper installation. The

installation, adjustments and service of your new grill must be performed by qualified

installers and service technicians. This is necessary to insure proper operation and also to

prevent accidents.

Location

When determining a suitable location take into account concerns such as exposure to wind,

proximity to traffic paths and keeping any gas supply lines as short as possible. Locate the

grill only in a well ventilated area.

Built-in Installation

Your new grill is designed for easy installation into a non-combustible enclosure.

The supporting deck and counter must be level and flat. When determining the final loca-

tion for your grill it is required that ventilation holes be provided in the enclosure so that gas

will not become entrapped in the event of a leak (See page 9).

Built-in Design Models

If using a rear wall, locate the weatherproof electrical outlet on the left-hand side for the

rotisserie motor. The rotisserie motor requires a 110/120-volt supply. The power supply

cord on the motor is equipped with a 3 prong (grounded) plug for protection against shock

hazard. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the plug.
