Before You Cook

A quick safety check should be performed before each time you use the grill.

1. 

Clean and inspect the gas hose. If there is evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks, do not use the 

grill. The hose must be replaced prior to using the grill. Replace the hose assembly with the exact type 

specified by Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet.

2. 

Ensure the gas hose is clear of the grill. Keep the fuel supply hose away from all surfaces of the grill.

3. 

Check that the area near the grill is clear of combustible materials and vapors, including alcohol, 

gasoline, aerosol containers and dry goods. Keep electrical cords from being in contact with any 

surfaces of the grill.

4. 

Do not use the grill with overly loose-fitting clothing, especially loose sleeves that may come in contact 

with the hot surfaces inside or outside the grill.

5. 

Have insulated gloves with long cuffs ready and available. 

While You are Cooking

1. 

Never move the grill while it is in use or when it is hot.

2. 

The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair your ability to properly assemble 

or safely operate the grill.

3. 

Do not touch the grill hood, any surfaces inside or around the cooking surfaces, the surface of the 

Hybrid Fire Grilling Drawer or any surfaces inside the cabinet below the grill while the grill is hot. These 

surfaces can cause serious burns.

4. 

Be very careful transporting hot food. Sauces, juices and oils can cause serious burns to yourself or 

those around you.

5. 

Only use a brass bristle or stainless steel brush to clean the cooking surfaces and warming rack. Wear 

insulated gloves with long cuffs to protect your hands.

6. 

Never empty the ash pan while the grill or the contents of the pan are hot. Always wait at least 24 

hours after the grill has been hot before emptying the ash pan.
