• Always read and understand the WARNINGS and SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS that

are contained in this Manual before attempting to use this Gas Barbecue Grill, to

prevent possible bodily injury or property damage.

• Always keep this Manual in or near the Grill, for convenient future reference.

Warnings

SIGNAL WORDS:

The Signal Words used in this Manual, and their intended meanings, are as follows :

DANGER: Indicates that a failure to observe the safety instructions could result in death or cata-

strophic bodily injury.

WARNING: Indicates that a failure to observe the safety instructions could result in serious bodily

injury.

CAUTION: Indicates that a failure to observe the safety instructions could result in property dam-

age or minor bodily injury.

NOTE: Designates important information relating to the safe use of the Grill.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS:

Since this outdoor cooking appliance is movable, is fueled by natural or propane gas, generates

very high temperatures for cooking and emits carbon monoxide as a by-product of combustion,

prudent precautions must be taken to assure its safe use.

• DANGER: This Grill has been designed for OUTDOOR use only.

Never use this outdoor Grill inside any building, garage, shed or breezeway, or inside any boat,

trailer or recreational vehicle, to prevent a possible ﬁre and to prevent the possibility of carbon

monoxide poisoning or asphyxiation

• DANGER: Exposing an overﬁlled or a disconnected propane cylinder to heat could cause

venting of fuel through the pressure release valve. Since propane vapor is heavier than air it

tends to pool and, if ignited, could produce a violent ﬁre or explosion.

Never install a propane cylinder if it is more than 80% full, as the contents may lack adequate

room for expansion when exposed to heat.

Never store a spare Propane Gas Cylinder in the cylinder compartment of this Grill, because it will

be exposed to high temperatures when the Grill is in use.

This Gas Barbecue Grill will provide you with many hours of pleasure and enjoyment, if it is used

in accordance with the Warnings and Safety Instructions contained in this Manual.

The essential Warnings and Safety Instructions are located throughout the pages of this Manual,

but some of the principal ones have been summarized below for your convenience:

Warnings

A. SAFE LOCATIONS FOR USE OF THIS OUTDOOR GRILL

DANGER:

• Never use this outdoor Grill inside any building, garage, shed or breezeway, or inside any boat,

trailer or recreational vehicle, to prevent a possible ﬁre and to prevent the possibility of carbon

monoxide poisoning or asphyxiation.

WARNINGS:

• Always conﬁrm that this Grill is not positioned under a combustible object (e.g., an awning or

umbrella) or in a covered area (e.g., a porch or gazebo) before lighting it, to prevent a possible

ﬁre.

• Always conﬁrm that this Grill is not positioned under the overhang of a house, a garage or

other structure before lighting it. An overhang will serve to deﬂect ﬂare-ups and radiated heat

into the structure itself, which could result in a ﬁre.

• Always conﬁrm that this Grill is positioned

more than 36” (1 m) away from any combusti-

ble materials or surfaces before lighting it, and

that no gasoline or other volatile substances

are stored in the vicinity of this Grill. The

temperature of a grease ﬁre or of the radiated

heat might otherwise be sufﬁcient to ignite

nearby combustibles or volatile substances.

• Always locate this Grill where there will be

ample combustion and ventilation air, but

never position it in the direct path of a strong

wind.

• Never allow the Grill to operate while unat -

tended, to prevent uncontrolled grease ﬁres

from erupting.

Never attempt to move this Grill while it is in

operation or while it is still hot, to prevent possible

personal injury.

• Never store or use gasoline or other ﬂammable

or volatile substances in the vicinity of this Grill or in the vicinity of any other

heat-generating appliance, because of the danger of starting a ﬁre.

• Always conﬁrm that the installation of this Grill conforms with the requirements of all local

Codes or, in the absence of any applicable local Codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code,

ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54, or CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

B. SAFE USE OF LP (PROPANE) GAS

DANGER:

• Never install a propane cylinder that is more than 80 % full, as the contents may lack adequate

room for expansion when exposed to heat. Propane vapor may then be vented through the pres-

sure release valve, which could accumulate in a pool and later result in a ﬁre or explosion.

Always instruct your certiﬁed propane fuel supplier to conﬁrm by weight that your cylinder

is not more than 80 % full. An empty cylinder will weigh about 18 lb., while a properly ﬁlled

cylinder should weigh no more than 38 lb.

• Never store a spare Propane Cylinder in the cylinder compartment of this Grill. Exposing a

disconnected cylinder to heat could result in the venting of propane vapor through the pressure

release valve, and the pooled vapor could result in a violent ﬁre. (No hazard is posed by the

connected cylinder if it is not overﬁlled, however, as it tends to refrigerate itself while it is being

used.)

Always conﬁrm that all openings in the cylinder compartment of this Grill are free of any ob-

structions that would restrict the circulation of ventilation air. Good ventilation will prevent the

pooling of leaked propane vapor, which is heavier than air, and which could explode if ignited.

WARNINGS:

• Always consult the Rating Label on the back of the Grill to conﬁrm which fuel must be

used with the Grill. Never operate the Grill with propane gas if it has been conﬁgured

to use natural gas, to prevent hazardous overheating.

• Always conﬁrm that there are no gas leaks before lighting this Grill. Apply a 50/50

solution of liquid soap and water to the gas supply line connectors with a brush or spray

bottle, and watch for bubbles. Never use a match or open ﬂame to test for gas leaks.

• Always visually inspect the gas supply line for fraying, cracking or rodent damage

before each use of this Grill and, if necessary, install a replacement obtained from your

dealer before lighting this Grill.

Always store your spare Propane Gas Cylinders in an outdoor area that is well-ventilated, shady,

cool and removed from any heat source. Always store those cylinders in an upright position.

Never store a spare cylinder in the vicinity of this Grill, or in the vicinity of any other heat-gener-

ating appliance.

C. SAFE USE OF NATURAL GAS

• Always consult the Rating Label on the back of the Grill to conﬁrm which fuel must be used

with the Grill. Never attempt to operate the Grill with natural gas if it has been conﬁgured to

use propane gas, to prevent possible bodily injury.

• Always employ a qualiﬁed service agency to install all necessary gas supply plumbing, for

safety reasons and to assure compliance with all applicable Codes.

Page iv

Warnings

• Always promptly shut off the gas supply and immediately extinguish all ﬂames if you smell gas.

Always seek assistance from your gas supplier or local Fire Department if the gas smell persists,

because of the danger of ﬁre or explosion.

• Always conﬁrm that there are no gas leaks before lighting this Grill. Apply a 50/50 solution of

liquid soap and water to the gas supply line connectors with a brush or spray bottle, and watch

for bubbles. Never use a match or open ﬂame to test for gas leaks.

• Always visually inspect the gas supply line for fraying, cracking or rodent damage before each

use of this Grill and, if necessary, install a replacement before lighting this Grill.

• Never permit a gas supply line to contact any heated surface of this Grill.

D. PREVENTION OF BURNS

• Always keep children and pets under close supervision when using this Grill, and never permit

them to come near the Grill while it is in use, as the exterior surfaces will be very hot.

• Always wear insulated protective mitts when working at the Grill, or when attempting to close

a gas supply valve after cooking has been completed, to prevent possible burns. Always use

insulated pot holders when handling containers of hot food.

• Always wear an insulated protective mitt when adding a smoking agent to a Smoker Box.

• Never store or use gasoline or other ﬂammable or volatile substances in the vicinity of this Grill,

or in the vicinity of any other heat-generating appliance.

E. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Always conﬁrm that this Grill has been grounded in accordance with local Codes or, in the

absence of local Codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 or the Canadian

Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, when an external electrical source is being utilized for the Rotis-

serie Motor.

• Always use a grounded three-prong outlet and a three-prong extension cord to energize the Ro-

tisserie Motor. Never alter or remove the grounding prong on the Rotisserie Power Cord, as an

electric shock hazard would then result.

• Never permit an electrical supply cord to contact any heated surface of this Grill.
