PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL
hands while cooking with the side burner, as these areas become extremely hot and could
cause burns. Use only the handles and knobs provided for operation of the side burner.
22. Protect your hands with an insulated glove or mitt when operating the side burner. Always
keep your face away and open lids slowly on pots and pans to allow heat and steam to escape
before fully opening. Never lean over an open hot side burner.
23. The side burner metal cover must be removed while lighting. Leaving the cover in place
while lighting can result in an explosion and personal injury, or death. Never lean over a
side burner or look directly into the burner when attempting to light. See the LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual.
24. Do not heat unopened food containers (cans) as pressure build-up will cause the container to
explode.
25. Do not use aluminum foil to line the burner bowl or the drip tray. This will alter the airflow
to the burner or trap excessive heat in the control area. This can melt control knobs, wiring,
or igniters, and increase the risk of personal injury. Such damage is specifically excluded from
our warranty.
26. Never use the side burner without the drip tray in place and pushed all the way to the back.
Without the drip tray, hot grease or oil from a spill-over can leak downward creating a fire or
explosion hazard.
27. Grease is extremely flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle or dispose
of it. Avoid letting excessive grease deposits collect by cleaning the drip tray often. Never
clean while the side burner is on, or hot from recent use.
28. Cooking excessively fatty meats and oils will cause flare-ups or grease fires. Damage caused
by them or by the side burner being left unattended, are not covered under the terms and
conditions of our warranty.
29. Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for side burner use. However, these types of materials may break with sudden
temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings, and according to their
manufacturers' directions.
30. Do not lean on side shelves or place a load of more than 25 lbs (11.3 kg) on a side shelf.
31. Do not repair or replace any part of the side burner unless specifically recommended in this
manual. All other warranty and non-warranty service should be referred to and performed by
a qualified technician.
32. For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the ports clean. It is necessary
to clean them periodically for optimum performance. The burners will operate only in one
position and must be mounted correctly for safe operation. See BURNER ADJUSTMENT
section of this manual.
33. Clean the side burner with caution. Avoid steam burns - do not use a wet sponge or cloth
to clean the side burner while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can
ignite when applied to a hot surface. Be sure all side burner controls are turned off and
the appliance is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance.
The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or
cause metal parts to corrode. Clean and perform general maintenance on the side burner
twice a year. Watch for corrosion, cracks, or insect activity. See the CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE section of this manual.
