GENERAL WARNINGS
WARNING
Leak test all connections before first use, even if grill was purchased fully assembled and after each tank refill.
Check the propane tank rubber seal for damage.
Always check the grill and propane tank prior to each use as indicated in the ‘Checking for Leaks’ & ‘Pre-start
Check-List’ sections of this manual.
Never use natural gas in a unit designed for liquid propane gas.
Never use charcoal, lava rocks or wood briquettes in a gas grill. Flavoring chips must be contained in a metal
smoking box to contain ash and prevent fires.
Ensure flames come out of all burner ports during each use. Spiders and insects like to build nests in burner
holes. Blocked burner tubes can prevent gas flow to the burners and could result in a burner tube fire or fire
beneath the grill.
Never check for leaks using a match or open flame.
Never use or store gasoline, lighter fluid, paint thinner, or other flammable vapors and liquids or combustible
materials in or near your grill.
DO NOT block ventilation areas in sides, back or cart compartment of grill.
DO NOT cover cooking grates or other components with aluminum foil, as this blocks ventilation and damage
to grill or personal injury may occur.
Never place more than 15 pounds on the side tables. DO NOT lean on the side tables. DO NOT lift grill using
side tables.
Keep children and pets away from hot grill. DO NOT allow children to use or play near this grill.
DO NOT leave the grill unattended while ON or in use.
DO NOT allow the gas hose to come in contact with hot surfaces. Redirect the gas hose if necessary.

OFF at once. Empty grease tray/cup and clean the hose and regulator assembly and inspect for damage before
use.
Never cook on the grill without the grease cup/tray in position.
DO NOT use water on a grease fire. Closing the lid to extinguish a grease fire is not possible. Use type BC dry
chemical fire extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda.
DO NOT use while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT operate indoors or in an enclosed area such as garage, shed or breezeway.
Position your grill outdoors on a non-combustible level surface in a well-ventilated location, a safe distance 10
foot (3.2m) from combustible materials, buildings and overhangs.
Apartment dwellers: Check with management and follow the requirements and fire codes for using an LP gas
grill in your apartment complex. Only use outside on the ground (not on a balcony, patio, garage, etc.) with a
15 foot (4.6m) minimum clearance on all sides from any wall, structure or combustible material.
Maintain a minimum clearance of 36 inches (91cm) on all sides of grill, deck railings, walls or other combustible
material. Not adhering to these clearances may prevent proper ventilation and can increase the risk of a fire
and/or property damage, which could also result in personal injury. DO NOT use grill under overhead
unprotected combustible construction.
DO NOT use or install this grill in or on a recreational vehicle and/or boat.
DO NOT build this model grill in any built-in or slide in construction.
If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on the cooking
surfaces prior to grilling as loose bristles may attach to food.
DO NOT store items in cart that can catch fire or damage your grill (such as swimming pool supplies/chemicals,
table cloth, wood chips).
