CAUTION

Inspect the gas supply hose before each
use. Look underneath the grill to inspect
the hose assembly below the grill. If
there are cuts, damage, excessive
abrasion or wear, replace the hose prior
to operating the appliance. During
assembly of the grill and when attaching
or replacing the L.P. gas cylinder, insure
that the gas supply hose is free of kinks
and/or damage and is at least three
inches away from hot surfaces such as
the grill housing. Use only hose
replacements specified in the parts list.
