materials from the appliance before use will result in
a fire hazard.

with a sear burner, put one of the larger flame spread- •
ers over it.

gas appliance only to an electrically grounded outlet
that meets local codes for outdoor appliances. In
the absence of local codes, the electrical outlet
must meet National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
or Canadian Electrical Code Standards for outdoor
appliances.
• Keep any electrical supply cords and the fuel supply
hose away from any heated surfaces and sharp
edges. Keep the power cords dry and up off of the
ground.
The outdoor grill and the rotisserie motor are
equipped with three prong grounding plugs to mini-
mize the possibility of an electric shock hazard from
this appliance. Plug them only into a three prong
electrical outlet equipped for use with outdoor appli-
ances that is protected by a minimum 15 Amp. circuit
breaker or fuse.
Dacor highly recommends installing a dedicated
electrical outlet for your outdoor grill according to the
