Safety Instructions

Never use the grill or side burner in windy conditions.

If used in a consistently windy area a windbreak will be required. Always adhere to the specified clearances listed in this manual.

Never line the grill or side burners with aluminum foil.

Do not install or operate your grill unit in such a manner that the cross ventilation openings are blocked.

Fresh air must be able to pass though installed vents to safeguard against residual gas accumulation. Failure to allow proper ventilation may cause fire or explosion.

When handling gas line and connectors, do not allow them to come in contact with any metal surfaces of the grill or cabinet. Do not drop connectors.

Do not use fuel such as charcoal briquettes in gas grills.

Gas sources to the grill and side burners must be regulated. Do not operate grill or side burners if regulators have been removed, fire or explosion can occur.

Never leave the grill and side burners unattended when in use. When using pots and pans, boil-overs will cause smoking and greasy boil-overs may ignite.

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the appliance off and smother the flaming pan with a tight-fitting lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray. For flaming grease outside of the pan, smother it with baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Never allow clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or be close to any grate, burner or hot surface until it has fully cooled.

Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using your grill. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.

When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack, burner grate, or immediate surroundings as these areas become extremely hot and can cause burns.

Use handles or knobs.

Only use dry pot holders and do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders used on hot surfaces can cause burns.

Do not heat any unopened glass or metal container of food on the grill. Pressure may build up and cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the grill.

Do not reach over your grill or any other surfaces when hot or in use.

Maintenance and Repair

• Spiders and other i nsects can nest in the burners of the grill and block the gas and airflow to the burner ports. This creates a dangerous condition that can result in a fire behind the valve panel. Inspect and clean the burners periodically and follow the guidelines in the Cleaning and Maintenance section of this manual.

• Unless specifically recommended in this manual, do not repair or replace any part of the grill. A qualified technician should perform all service. Any repairs made by a non-Cal Flame approved dealer technician will void your warranty.

Storage

• When your gas grill is not in use, turn off the gas at the supply valve.

• Storage of a grill indoors is permissible only if the gas supply is disconnected.

Precautions Regarding Children

• Never leave children unattended in the area where the grill is being used. Close supervision of children is necessary when any appliance is use near children.
