IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS WE WANT YOU TO ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR GRILL AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL IS TO ATTRACT YOUR ATTENTION TO POSSIBLE HAZARDS AS YOU ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR GRILL. WHEN YOU SEE THE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE INFORMATION WHICH FOLLOWS! READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR GRILL. DANGER FOR YOUR SAFETY: IF YOU SMELL GAS: 1. Shut off gas to the appliance at the LP cylinder and burners.
WARNING • Never use natural gas in a unit designed for liquid propane gas. • Never use charcoal briquets or lighter fluid in a gas grill. • Leak test all connections before first use, even if grill was purchased fully assembled and after each tank refill. • Never check for leaks using a match or open flame. CAUTION! Strong odors, colds, sinus congestion, etc. may prevent the detection of propane. Use caution and common sense when testing for leaks.
WARNING • FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT operate indoors or in an enclosed area such as garage, shed or breezeway. • Use your grill OUTDOORS in a well ventilated space away from dwellings or other buildings to prevent dangers associated with gas accumulation and toxic vapors. We recommend your grill be situated at least 10 feet from buildings. • Maintain a minimum clearance of 24 inches (60 cm) between all sides of grill and walls or other combustible material.
The cylinder must also be equipped with: • A shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1 gas cylinder valve outlet. • A Type 1 valve that prevents gas flow until a positive seal is obtained. • An arrangement for vapor withdrawal. • A collar to protect the cylinder shut-off valve. • A safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder. • A listed over-filling prevention device (OPD). WARNING • Turn off the cylinder valve when your grill is not in use.
WARNING FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER: • Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to properly fill or repair your LP gas cylinder. • New tanks should be purged prior to filling; inform LP gas dealer if you are using a new tank. • DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity. Over-filled tanks can create a dangerous condition. Over-filled tanks can build-up pressure and cause the relief valve to expel propane gas vapors.
WARNING • Never use your grill without leak testing all gas connections and hoses. See the section on "Leak Testing" in this manual for proper procedures. WARNING The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with your gas grill is designed to work with an LP gas supply cylinder. • DO NOT attempt to connect it to any other fuel supply source such as a natural gas line. • DO NOT use any other pressure regulator/hose assembly other than the one supplied with your grill.
DANGER LEAK TESTING: To prevent fire or explosion hazard: • DO NOT smoke or permit ignition sources in the area while conducting a leak test. • Perform test OUTDOORS only in a well ventilated area. • Never perform a leak test with a match or open flame. • Never perform a leak test while the grill is in use or while grill is still hot. WARNING WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST: • After assembling your grill and before lighting for the first time, even if purchased fully assembled.
