Safe Operating Practices
•
Newage Grill must be assembled and installed according to the instructions in the manual.
•
Read the entire instruction manual prior to operating grill.
•
NewAge Grill must be used outdoors in a well ventilated area, and cannot be used indoors, in a enclosed
area such as a garage, gazebo, screened in porch or other similar enclosed area.
•
The NewAge Grill cannot be installed in or on a recreational vehicle, or boat.
•
Face the front of the grill towards the prevailing wind. High winds can cause flame blowouts.
•
Do not modify the NewAge Grill.
•
Do not operate the NewAge Grill under, or near combustible construction.
•
Maintain proper clearance to combustibles, 18" (457 mm)to rear of unit, 10" (254mm) to sides. Additional
clearance of 32" (810mm) is recommended near vinyl siding or panes of glass.
•
When not in use turn off the gas at the supply valve.
•
If using a L.P cylinder (propane tank) always shut off the main valve on the L.P. Cylinder after each use.
•
Never use dented, rusty or damaged propane cylinders.
•
A spare LP propane tank cannot be stored below the gas grill.
•
Never attach or disconnect an LP cylinder, or move or alter gas fittings when the grill is in operation or is
hot.
•
Use only propane cylinders with a QCC1 type connection.
•
When the propane cylinder is connected to the appliance, the gas grill and cylinder must be stored
outdoors in a well-ventilated space.
•
When the gas grill is to be stored indoors, the connection between the propane cylinder and the gas grill
must be disconnected and the cylinder removed and stored outdoors in a well ventilated space out of
reach of children. Disconnected cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed
area.
•
Natural gas units must be disconnected from the supply when being stored indoors.
•
Inspect the fuel supply hose before each use. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear or the
hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to using the gas grill with a replacement hose assembly specified by
the grill manufacturer.
•
Leak test the unit before initial use, annually, and whenever any gas components are replaced.
•
Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) protected circuit with this outdoor cooking gas appliance.

Safe Operating Practices cont.
•
Burner controls must be off when turning supply cylinder valve on.
•
The grill hood must be fully opened while lighting the grill. Failure to do so will risk an explosion, and
personal injury or death.
•
Never lean over the grill and keep face away from grill when lighting.
•
Always use a covered hand when opening the grill lid and only do so slowly to allow heat and steam to
escape.
•
Do not leave grill unattended when operating.
•
Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill grates or radiants. This can severely upset combustion
air flow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted knobs or damaged
ignition components.
•
Adults and children should be instructed on the hazards of high surface temperatures. Never leave
children unsupervised around the NewAge Grill.
•
Never touch the grill racks, hood or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands while
grilling.
•
The NewAge Grill must be cooled before it is covered. Never place the cover on when cooking or while
hot.
•
Keep all electrical cords and gas supply lines away from heated surfaces.
•
Never grill without the drip pan installed. Hot grease can leak down and produce a fire or explosion.
•
Clean grease trays regularly to prevent grease fires.
•
Spiders and insects like to nest in the burners, venturis, valves and orifices of a grill, disrupting the gas
flow. This very dangerous condition can cause a fire behind the control panel, damaging the grill and
risking personal injury. If your grill has been unused for a long time, inspect and clean the burners,
venturis, valves and orifices.
•
Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while
it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
•
Do not locate, store or operate the grill on an inclined plane. Make sure you lock the caster wheels before
operating the grill.
•
Do not use charcoal or lighter fluid in the outdoor grill.
•
Do not move the appliance during use.
•
Do not use a power washer to clean the NewAge Grill.
•
Always have an ABC Fire Extinguisher accessible — never attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water
or other liquids.
