This grill is for outdoor use only, and shall not be used in a building,
garage or any other enclosed area.
Do NOT operate, light or use this appliance within ten (10) feet (3.05 m)
of walls, structures or buildings.
For residential use only. This grill is NOT for commercial use.
This grill is not intended for and should never be used as a heater. TOXIC
fumes can accumulate and cause asphyxiation.
This grill is safety certified for use in the United States and/or Canada
only. Do not modify for use in any other location. Modification will result
in a safety hazard.
Apartment Dwellers: Check with management to learn the requirements
and fire codes for using an LP gas grill in your apartment complex. If
allowed, use outside on the ground floor with a ten (10) foot (3.05 m)
clearance from any structure. Do not use on or under balconies.
This grill is for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. The conversion to
or attempted use of natural gas in this LP gas grill is dangerous and will
void your warranty.
LP gas Characteristics:
a. LP gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become
aware of the characteristics before using any LP gas product.
b. LP gas is explosive under pressure, heavier than air, and settles and
pools in low areas.
c. LP gas in its natural state has no odor. For your safety, an odorant is
added that smells like rotten cabbage.
d. Contact with LP gas can cause freeze burns to skin.
LP gas tank needed to operate. Only tanks marked “propane” may be
used.
The LP gas tank must be constructed and marked in accordance
with the Specifications for LP gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of

and Commission.
