Safe Operating Practices
•
This gas grill must be assembled exactly according to the instructions in the manual. If the grill was
store assembled, you must review the assembly instructions to confirm correct assembly and perform
the required leak tests before operating the grill.
•
Read the entire instruction manual before operating the gas grill.
•
This gas grill must be used only outdoors in a well-ventilated space and must not be used inside a
building, garage, screened-in porch, gazebo or any other enclosed area.
•
This gas grill must not be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
•
Do not locate unit in windy settings. High winds adversely affect the cooking performance of the gas
grill.
•
Under no circumstances should this gas grill be modified.
•
Do not operate unit under overhead combustible construction.
•
Maintain proper clearance to combustibles, (18” (457mm) to rear of unit, 24” (610mm) to sides).
Additional clearance of 24” (610mm) is recommended near vinyl siding or panes of glass.
•
Gas must be turned off at the gas supply valve when the gas grill is not in use.
•
If the enclosure is to house a propane cylinder, the tank portion of the enclosure must be ventilated
according to local codes, and must not have communication with the cavity used to enclose the gas
grill. A propane tank can not be stored below the gas grill.
•
Do not attempt to use a cylinder that is not equipped with a QCC1 type connection.
• When the propane cylinder is connected to the appliance, the gas grill and cylinder must be stored
outdoors in a well-ventilated space.
•
When the gas grill is to be stored indoors, the connection between the propane cylinder and the gas
grill must be disconnected and the cylinder removed and stored outdoors in a well ventilated space
out of reach of children. Disconnected cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage or any other
enclosed area. Natural gas units must be disconnected from the supply when being stored indoors.
•
Inspect the fuel supply hose before each use. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear or the
hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to using the gas grill with a replacement hose assembly specified
by the grill manufacturer.
•
Leak test the unit before initial use, annually, and whenever any gas components are replaced.
•
Follow lighting instructions carefully when operating grill.
•
Burner controls must be off when turning supply cylinder valve on.
•
The lid is to be closed during the gas grill preheating period on all models except the BISZ300NFT/PFT
and the built-in side burner BISB245.
•
The BISZ300NFT/PFT and the built-in side burner BISB245 are supplied with a flat cover for storage
and protection from the elements. Never place this cover on the grill while hot or operating. Allow
grill to cool completely before covering.
• Adults and especially children should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures. Young
children should be supervised near the gas grill.
•
Do not leave grill unattended when operating.
• Do not light burners with lid closed.
•
Do not operate rear burner with main burners operating.
•
Do not move grill when hot or operating.
• Keep any electrical supply cord and fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces.
•
Ensure sear plates are positioned properly according to sear plate installation instructions. The holes
must be towards the front of the gas grill (if applicable).
•
Clean grease tray and sear plates regularly to avoid build-up, which could lead to grease fires.
•
Remove warming rack before lighting rear burner. The extreme heat will damage the warming rack.
•
Inspect infrared burner venturi tube for spider webs and other obstructions periodically. Clean the
tubes completely if you find any such obstructions.
•
Do not allow cold water (rain, sprinkler, hose, etc.) to come in contact with heated unit. A large
temperature differential can cause chipping in the porcelain.
•
Do not allow cold water (rain, sprinkler, hose, etc.) to come in contact with ceramic burners. A large
temperature differential can cause cracking in the ceramic tile.
• Do not use a pressure washer to clean any part of the unit.
