IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

• The California Safe Drinking Water and

Toxic Enforcement Act

requires the

Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such
substances.

• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to

four of these substances,

namely benzene,

carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,
caused primarily by the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a
bluish rather than a yellow flame, will
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure
to these substances is minimized because this
is an outdoor unit.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using your appliance, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed

and grounded

by a qualified technician in

accordance with the provided installation
instructions.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your cooking center unless it is
specifically recommended in this manual.
All other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.

• Have the installer show you where the gas

shut-off valve is located

so that you know

where to shut off the gas to the cooking center.

• If you smell gas,

the installer has not done a

proper job of checking for leaks. You can have
a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if
the connections are not completely tight.

Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself
procedure. Some leaks can only be found with
the burner control in the ON position and for
your protection it must be done by a qualified
service technician. Never use an open flame
to locate a leak.

• This cooking center is for outdoor use only.

Tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.58,
Latest Edition standard for outdoor cooking
gas appliances.

• Check your local building codes for the

proper method of installation.

In the absence

of local codes, this unit should be installed in
accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code
No. Z223.1, Latest Edition and the National
Electrical Code ANSI-NFPA No. 70, Latest
Edition.

• Do not try lighting this appliance without

reading the lighting instructions in this manual.

• Read this manual carefully and completely

before using your cooking center

to reduce

the risk of fire, burn hazard or other injury.
Please retain this manual for future reference.

• This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not

intended to be installed in or on recreational
vehicles and/or boats.

• Never allow anyone to sit, stand or play on or

around the cooking center at any time.

When

in use, portions of the cooking center get hot
enough to cause severe burns.

• Do not store items of interest to children

around or below the cooking center, in the
cart or built-in enclosure.

• Never allow children to crawl inside a cart

or enclosure.

• Never let clothing, pot holders or other

flammable materials come in contact with or
too close to any grate, burner or hot surface
until it has cooled.

Fabric may ignite and

result in personal injury.

• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick

up a flaming pan.

Turn the controls off.

Smother a flaming pan on a burner by
covering the pan completely with a well-fitting
lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out
by covering it with baking soda or, if available,
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher.
