Safety Instructions
Read carefully before assembling and operating your Gas Grill.
INSTALLATION
This gas grill must be installed in accordance with the
local codes or, if in an area without local codes, with
the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1. In Canada, installation must conform to the
standard CAN/CGA 1-b149.1 and/or .2 (Installation
Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment) and
any local codes.
THE LOCATION FOR YOUR GRILL
DO NOT use your gas grill in garages, porches,
breezeways, sheds or other enclosed areas. Your gas
grill is to be used OUTDOORS ONLY, at least 21" from
the back and side to any combustible surface. The
grill should not be placed under any surface that will
burn. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the grill housing.
This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not intended to be
installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN:
Keep them away
from a hot grill during and after cooking. Do not allow
children to play near or operate grill.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A FLAME
Prior to first use and at the beginning of each new
season (or whenever LP gas cylinder is changed),
you must check for gas leaks. Follow these steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Make soap solution by mixing one part liquid
detergent and one part water.
Turn off heat control valve(s), then turn on gas at
source.
Apply the soap solution to all gas connections.
Bubbles will appear in the soap solution if connec-
tions are not properly sealed. Tighten or repair
as necessary.
If you have a gas leak that you cannot repair, turn
off the gas at the source, disconnect fuel line from
grill and immediately call your grill dealer or gas
supplier for professional assistance.
LP GAS CYLINDER SAFETY
Your gas grill is designed for use with a standard 20
lb. LP gas cylinder (not included). DO NOT CONNECT
YOUR GRILL TO AN LP GAS CYLINDER EXCEEDING
THIS CAPACITY. A tank of approximately 12 inches
in diameter by 18-1/2 inches high should be the
Maximum size tank used. We recommend buying an
"OPD" gas cylinder - which offers an Overfilling
Prevention Device. This safety feature prevents the
tank from being accidentally overfilled which can cause
malfunction with your cylinder, regulator and/or grill.
Also be sure that (1) the cylinder is provided with a
shutoff valve terminating in an LP gas supply cylinder
valve outlet compatible with a Type I cylinder con-
nection device and a safety relief device having a
direct communication with the vapor space of the
cylinder; (2) the cylinder supply system must be
arranged for vapor withdrawal; and (3) the cylinder
used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked
in accordance with specifications of the U.S. Depart-
ment of Transportation (DOT). In Canada, gas
cylinders must meet Canadian Transportation and
Communications(CTC) specifications.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
If you smell gas:
1. Shut off gas to the appliance.
2. Extinguish any open flame.
3. Open lid.
4. If odor continues, immediately call
your gas supplier or your fire
department.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
An LP cylinder not connected for use
shall not be stored in the vicinity of this
or any other appliance.
(a) Do not store (empty or full) spare gas
cylinders under or near this or any other
appliance.
(b) Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent
full.
If the information in "(a)" and "(b)" is not
followed exactly, a fire causing death or
serious injury may occur.
Keep the gas fuel hose away from hot grill
surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid unnec-
essary twisting of hose. Visually Inspect
hose prior to each use for cuts, cracks,
excessive wear or other damage.
If damaged - do not use the grill. Contact
your dealer for a factory authorized replace-
ment hose.
NEVER light grill with lid closed or before checking
to insure burner tubes are fully seated over gas
valve orifices.
NEVER lean over cooking surface while lighting
grill. Use barbecue tools with long wooden
handles and good quality insulated oven mitts
when operating grill.
