Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
Combustible materials should never be within 24 inches of the top, bottom, back or sides of your MHP Gas
Barbecue Grill.
Do not put a barbecue cover or anything flammable on, or in the storage area under the barbecue.
Children should never use your MHP Gas Barbecue Grill. Accessible parts of the barbecue may be very hot.

You should exercise reasonable care when operating your MHP Gas Barbecue Grill. It will be hot during
cooking or cleaning and should never be left unattended, or moved while in operation.
Should the burners go out while in operation, turn all gas valves off. Open lid and wait five minutes before
attempting to relight, using the lighting instructions.

Never lean over open grill or place hands or fingers on the front edge of cooking box.
Do not enlarge the valve orifices or burner ports when cleaning the valves or burners.
The MHP Gas Barbecue Grill should be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis.
Liquid propane gas is not natural gas. The conversion or attempted use of natural gas in a liquid propane
unit or liquid propane gas in a natural gas unit is dangerous and will void your warranty.
Do not attempt to disconnect any gas fitting while your barbecue is in operation.
Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating barbecue.
LIQUID PROPANE GAS UNITS ONLY
Use the regulator that is supplied with your MHP Gas Barbecue Grill.
Do not attempt to disconnect the gas regulator or any gas fitting while your barbecue is in operation.
A dented or rusty propane cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your local liquid propane
supplier. Do not use a liquid propane cylinder with a damaged valve.
Although your liquid propane cylinder may appear to be empty, gas may still be present, and the propane
cylinder should be transported and stored accordingly.
If you see, smell or hear the hiss of escaping gas from the liquid propane cylinder:
1. Move away from the liquid propane cylinder.
2. Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself.
3. Call your fire department.
