Do NOT operate, light or use this appliance within ten (10) feet (3.05 m)
of walls, structures or buildings.
For residential use only. This grill is NOT for commercial use.
This grill is not intended for and should never be used as a heater. TOXIC
fumes can accumulate and cause asphyxiation.
This grill is safety certified for use in the United States and/or Canada
only. Do not modify for use in any other location. Modification will result

clearance from any structure. Do not use on or under balconies.
This grill is for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. The conversion to
or attempted use of natural gas in this LP gas grill is dangerous and will
void your warranty.
LP gas Characteristics:
a. LP gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become
aware of the characteristics before using any LP gas product.
b. LP gas is explosive under pressure, heavier than air, and settles and
pools in low areas.
c. LP gas in its natural state has no odor. For your safety, an odorant is
added that smells like rotten cabbage.
d. Contact with LP gas can cause freeze burns to skin.
LP gas tank needed to operate. Only tanks marked “propane” may be
used.
The LP gas tank must be constructed and marked in accordance
with the Specifications for LP gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339,
Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods;
and Commission.
LP gas tank must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
The LP gas tank must have a listed overfilling prevention device (OPD).
Only use LP gas cylinders equipped with a cylinder connection device
compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appliances.
The LP gas tank must have a tank collar to protect the tank valve.
Never use an LP gas tank with a damaged body, valve, collar, or footing.
Dented or rusted LP gas tanks may be hazardous and should be checked
