Safe Operation
WARNING: When in use, portions of your grill get hot enough to cause severe burns.
Children and pets should never be left alone or unattended in the area where the grill is
being used. Never allow children to sit, stand or play on or around the grill.
IMPORTANT: Improper use or installation is dangerous. Because this grill produces intense
heat, the risk of accidents or potential injuries is increased. Extreme care must be taken.
Carefully follow all instructions, including the following:
To reduce the risk of re, burns or other injury, read this Use and Care Guide thoroughly. Begin by
ensuring proper installation and servicing. Do not repair or replace any part of the grill yourself unless it is
specically recommended in this Use and Care Guide. All other service must be carried out by a qualied
gas technician.
Never allow children to operate the grill. Do not store items of interest to children in or around the grill.
Do not heat unopened food containers in the grill. The build up of pressure resulting from the heat may
cause the container to burst.
Never lean on any part of the grill. When lighting the grill, always pay close attention to what you are
doing. Make sure you are aware of which burner you are lighting and can see whether or not it is lit. Make
sure you have ready access to the burner valves when you are lighting the burner. Make sure you are
pushing in the burner valve to activate the ignition when you attempt to light the burner.
When the burners are on or the grill is hot, do not touch the grilling surface, warming rack, any part of the
grill’s interior or any surface of areas surrounding the grilling surface. These areas become extremely hot and
may cause severe burns. Likewise, do not touch any part of the grill lid other than the handle. Do not touch
any surface of the cleanout trays or open the cleanout when the grill is hot.
Do not use any cleaner, including water, on a hot grill.
Be sure all control knobs are in the OFF position and the grill is cool before using any aerosol cleaner on it
or near it. The chemical used for aerosol propellant could ignite in the presence of heat.
Always use dry pot holders or gloves on hot surfaces or cooking tools: moist or damp pot holders or
gloves may cause steam burns. Never use a towel or bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot
holders touch hot portions of the grill or allow them to get near the open ame.
Do not operate the grill under an unprotected combustible construction. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
The grill is for outdoor use only.
Do not obstruct any of the openings on the grill or otherwise obstruct the ow of combustion and
ventilation air. Do not build the grill into any combustible structure that is closer than 6 inches from the
sides and back.
Do not use the grill when there is a strong wind blowing from behind the grill. For installations with
a prevailing wind that blows against the rear side of the grill, a wind break may be required for safe
operation.
Keep all gas hoses away from the hot surfaces of the grill, including all external surfaces of the unit.
Keep all electrical supply cords away from the hot surfaces of the grill, including all external surfaces of the unit.

Ensure proper installation and servicing by following all instructions in this Use and Care Guide and any
other instructions or markings provided with this product. Have your grill installed by a qualied technician.
Have the installer show you were the gas supply shut-off valve is located and instruct you in its operation
so that you can shut-off the gas to the grill.
If you smell gas, there is likely a problem with the installation. If the connections are not perfectly sealed,
you can have a small leak resulting in the faint smell of gas — even if the grill appears to be working
properly. Close the gas supply shut-off valve and call a qualied technician to locate and resolve the leak.
SPIDER ALERT: Spiders and other insects are prone to nesting inside burners in
outdoor cooking equipment. This can create a very dangerous condition where
the gas ow is redirected and can create a re behind the control panel. This
will damage the grill and make it unusable. Frequent inspections and care are
recommended. See the care section beginning on page 57.
California Proposition 65 Warning:
The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products that are on the list of substances which are
known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances, always
operate the grill according to this Use and Care Guide and ensure you provide good ventilation when cooking.
State of Massachusetts:
Massachusetts requires all gas appliances be installed by a plumber or gas tter carrying the appropriate
Massachusetts license.
All permanently-installed natural gas or propane installations require a “T” handle type manual gas valve be
installed in the gas supply line to this appliance.
This does not apply to portable propane installations using a 20 pound cylinder.

Important LP Tank Safety Information
A liquid propane cylinder should never be overlled beyond the cylinder lling capacity. Overlling
may create a dangerous condition.
Overlled tanks can build up excess pressure. The standard safety device on tanks is the safety relief
valve. This valve vents propane gas vapors to relieve excess pressure. These vapors are combustible
and can be ignited.
To avoid risk of re or explosion, take the following safety precautions:
DANGER:
Do not route the gas supply hose or locate
a propane cylinder in a way that may create
a tripping hazard. Tripping over, or getting
caught on, a gas supply hose may tip the grill
over or damage the hose, creating serious
risk of injury and re.
Never replace the liquid propane regulator
or hose with a different type than the model
supplied.
Never use a dented or rusty LP tank.
Never connect the grill to anything other than the
fuel source indicated on the serial plate. Factory
conversion kits are available for switching fuel
sources. Contact Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet
or an authorized dealer for details. Conversion
kit installation must be done by a qualied
technician.
The LP-gas cylinder must include a collar to
protect the cylinder valve from damage.
Ensure proper ventilation of the cylinder. The
cylinder supply system must be arranged for
vapor withdrawal.
The LP-gas supply cylinder to be used must be
constructed and marked in accordance with
the specications for LP-gas cylinders, U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) or the
standard for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
the Transportation of Dangerous Goods, CAN/
CSA-B339.
When the grill is not in use, the gas must be
turned off at the supply cylinder.
The grill may be stored indoors, but only if the
cylinder is disconnected and removed from the
grill. An LP cylinder MUST NEVER BE STORED
INDOORS.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the
reach of children and must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
The pressure regulator and hose assembly
supplied with the grill must be used. Replacement
pressure regulators and hose assemblies must
be the type specied by Kalamazoo Outdoor
Gourmet. For replacement parts, contact
Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet customer service at
+1.800.868.1699.
