4.    Always place your grill on a hard and level surface far away from combustible materials and structures. An 

asphalt or blacktop surface may not be acceptable for this purpose.

CAUTION-Prevention of Burns

 

1.   To avoid burns, do not touch metal parts of the grill until they have completely cooled for at least 45 minutes 

or unless you are wearing protective gear such as pot holders, protective gloves or mittens. 

2.    Do not alter the grill in any manner. 

3.    Clean and inspect the hose before each use. If there is evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks, the hose must 

be replaced prior to operation. The replacement hose assembly should be in accordance with the 
manufacturer’s specifications. 

4.   Move gas hoses as far away as possible from hot surfaces and dripping hot grease. 

5.   Never keep a filled gas container in a hot car or car trunk. Heat will cause the gas pressure to increase, which 

could open the relief valve and allow gas to escape.
