Safe Operating Practices
• This gas grill must be assembled exactly according to the instructions in the manual. If the grill was store
assembled, you must review the assembly instructions to confirm correct assembly and perform the required
leak tests before operating the grill.
• Read the entire instruction manual before operating the gas grill.
• This gas grill must be used only outdoors in a well-ventilated space and must not be used inside a building,
garage, screened-in porch, gazebo or any other enclosed area.
• This gas grill must not be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
• Do not locate unit in windy settings. High winds adversely affect the cooking performance of the gas grill.
• Under no circumstances should this gas grill be modified.
• Do not operate unit under overhead combustible construction.
• Maintain proper clearance to combustibles 20" (508mm) to rear of unit, 7" (178mm) to sides). Additional
clearance of 24" (610mm)is recommended near vinyl siding or panes of glass.
• Gas must be turned off at the propane cylinder or at the natural gas supply valve when the gas grill is not in use.
• Do not attempt to use a cylinder that is not equipped 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 pressure regulator and hose assembly
specified by the grill manufacturer.
• Do not route hose underneath drip pan - proper hose clearance to bottom of unit must be maintained.
• Hose must not run behind the front leg. It must run around the front side of leg (if applicable).
• Leak test the unit before initial use, annually, and whenever any gas components are replaced.
• Follow lighting instructions carefully when operating grill.
• Burner controls must be off when turning supply cylinder valve on.
• The lid is to be closed during the gas grill preheating period on all models except the BISZ300NFT/PFT and the
built-in side burner BISB245.
• The BISZ300NFT/PFT and the built-in side burner BISB245 are supplied with a flat cover for storage and
protection from the elements. Never place this cover on the grill while hot or operating. Allow grill to cool
completely before covering.
• Adults and especially children should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures. Young children
should be supervised near the gas grill.
• Do not leave grill unattended when operating.
• Do not light burners with lid closed.
• Do not operate rear burner with main burners operating.
• Do not move grill when hot or operating.
• Do not use condiment tray to store lighters, matches or any other combustibles.
• Keep any electrical supply cord and fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces.
• Ensure sear plates are positioned properly according to sear plate installation instructions. The holes must be
towards the front of the gas grill (if applicable).
• Clean grease tray and sear plates regularly to avoid build-up, which could lead to grease fires.
• Remove warming rack before lighting rear burner. The extreme heat will damage the warming rack.
• Inspect infrared burner venturi tube for spider webs and other obstructions periodically. Clean the tubes
completely if you find any such obstructions.
• Do not allow cold water (rain, sprinkler, hose, etc.) to come in contact with heated unit. A large temperature
differential can cause chipping in the porcelain.
• Do not allow cold water (rain, sprinkler, hose, etc.) to come in contact with ceramic burners.
• Do not use a pressure washer to clean any part of the unit.
