SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT

We urge you to read this manual carefully and to follow the recommendations enclosed. This will help assure you of the most enjoyable and trouble-free operation of your new
Ducane ® Gas Grill. We also advise you to keep this manual for future reference.
WARNING: Your grill has been designed to operate using
only the gas specified on the rating plate. Do not attempt
to operate your grill on other gases. Failure to follow this
warning could lead to a fire hazard and bodily harm, and will
void your warranty.
CAUTION: FOR YOUR SAFETY Do not store any flammable
materials in any cabinets beneath the grill burner box or in
the vicinity of your grill.
WARNING: Be sure to have your LP (propane) tank filled
by a reputable propane dealer. An incorrectly filled or an
overfilled LP tank can be dangerous. The overfilled condition
combined with the warming of the LP tank (a hot summer
day, tank left in the sun) can cause LP gas to be released by
the pressure relief valve on the tank since the temperature
increase causes the propane to expand. LP gas released
from the tank is flammable and can be explosive.
