Warnings

FOR YOUR SAFETY

If you smell gas:

• Shut off gas to the appliance

• Extinguish any open flame

• Open lid

• If odor continues, immediately call your gas supplier or fire department.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in

the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

An LP cylinder not connected for use shall not be stored in the vicinity

of this or any other appliance.

•Always read and understand the WARNINGS and SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS that are contained

in this Manual before attempting to use this Gas Barbecue Grill, to prevent possible bodily

injury or property damage.

•Always keep this Manual in or near the Grill, for convenient future reference.

SIGNAL WORDS :

The Signal Words used in this Manual, and their intended meanings, are as follows :

DANGER : Indicates that a failure to observe the safety instructions could result in death or catastrophic

bodily injury.

WARNING : Indicates that a failure to observe the safety instructions could result in serious bodily injury.

CAUTION : Indicates that a failure to observe the safety instructions could result in property damage or

minor bodily injury.

NOTE : Designates important information relating to the safe use of the Grill.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS :

Since this outdoor cooking appliance is movable, is fueled by natural or propane gas, generates very high

temperatures for cooking and emits carbon monoxide as a bi-product of combustion, prudent precautions

must be taken to assure its safe use.

•DANGER : This Grill has been designed for OUTDOOR use only.

Never use this outdoor Grill inside any building, garage, shed or breezeway, or inside any

boat, trailer or recreational vehicle, to prevent a possible fire and to prevent the possibility of

carbon monoxide poisoning or asphyxiation

•DANGER : Exposing an over-filled or a disconnected propane cylinder to heat could cause venting of

fuel through the pressure release valve. Since propane vapor is heavier than air it tends to pool and, if

ignited, could produce a violent fire or explosion.

Never install a propane cylinder if it is more than 80 % full, as the contents may lack adequate room for

expansion when exposed to heat.

Never store a spare Propane Gas Cylinder in the cylinder compartment of this Grill, because it will be exposed

to high temperatures when the Grill is in use.

This Gas Barbecue Grill will provide you with many hours of pleasure and enjoyment, if it is used in

accordance with the Warnings and Safety Instructions contained in this Manual.

The essential Warnings and Safety Instructions are located throughout the pages of this Manual, but some of

the principal ones have been summarized below for your convenience:

A. SAFE LOCATIONS FOR USE OF THIS OUTDOOR GRILL

DANGER :

•Never use this outdoor Grill inside any building, garage, shed or breezeway, or inside any boat, trailer

or recreational vehicle, to prevent a possible fire and to prevent the possibility of carbon monoxide

poisoning or asphyxiation.

WARNINGS :

•Always confirm that this Grill is not positioned under a combustible object (e.g., an awning or

umbrella) or in a covered area (e.g., a porch or gazebo) before lighting it, to prevent a possible fire.

•Always confirm that this Grill is not positioned under the overhang of a house, a garage or other

structure before lighting it. An overhang will serve to deflect flareups and radiated heat into the

structure itself, which could result in a fire.

•Always confirm that this Grill is positioned more

than 36” (1m) away from any combustible

materials or surfaces before lighting it, and that

no gasoline or other volatile substances are

stored in the vicinity of this Grill. The tempera-

ture of a grease fire or of the radiated heat might

otherwise be sufficient to ignite nearby combus-

tibles or volatile substances.

•Always locate this Grill where there will be ample

combustion and ventilation air, but never

position it in the direct path of a strong wind.

•Never allow the Grill to operate while unat-

tended, to prevent uncontrolled grease fires from

erupting.

Never attempt to move this Grill while it is in opera-

tion or while it is still hot, to prevent possible

personal injury.

• Never store or use gasoline or other flammable or volatile substances in the vicinity of this Grill or in the

vacinity of any other heat-generating appliance, because of the danger of starting a fire.

• Always confirm that the installation of this Grill conforms with the requirements of all local Codes or, in the

absence of any applicable local Codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1; CAN/CGA-

B149.1, National Gas Installation Code; or CAN/CGA-B149.2, Propane Installation Code.

Warnings

B. SAFE USE OF LP (PROPANE) GAS

DANGER :

•Never install a propane cylinder that is more than 80 % full, as the contents may lack adequate room

for expansion when exposed to heat. Propane vapor may then be vented through the pressure release

valve, which could accumulate in a pool and later result in a fire or explosion.

Always instruct your certified propane fuel supplier to confirm by weight that your cylinder is not more

than 80 % full. An empty cylinder will weigh about 18 lbs., while a properly filled cylinder should weigh

no more than 38 lbs.

•Never store a spare Propane Cylinder in the cylinder compartment of this Grill. Exposing a discon-

nected cylinder to heat could result in the venting of propane vapor through the pressure release valve,

and the pooled vapor could result in a violent fire. (No hazard is posed by the connected cylinder if it is

not overfilled, however, as it tends to refrigerate itself while it is being used.)

Always confirm that all openings in the cylinder compartment of this Grill are free of any obstructions

that would restrict the circulation of ventilation air. Good ventilation will prevent the pooling of leaked

propane vapor, which is heavier than air, and which could explode if ignited.

WARNINGS :

•Always consult the Rating Label on the back of the Grill to confirm which fuel must be used with the

Grill. Never operate the Grill with propane gas if it has been configured to use natural gas, to prevent

hazardous overheating.

•Always confirm that there are no gas leaks before lighting this Grill. Apply a 50/50 solution of liquid

soap and water to the gas supply line connectors with a brush or spray bottle, and watch for bubbles.

Never use a match or open flame to test for gas leaks.

•Always visually inspect the gas supply line for fraying, cracking or rodent damage before each use of

this Grill and, if necessary, install a replacement obtained from your Vermont Castings dealer before

lighting this Grill.

Always store your spare Propane Gas Cylinders in an outdoor area that is well-ventilated, shady, cool and

removed from any heat source. Always store those cylinders in an upright position. Never store a spare

cylinder in the vicinity of this Grill, or in the vicinity of any other heat-generating appliance.

C. SAFE USE OF NATURAL GAS

• Always consult the Rating Label on the back of the Grill to confirm which fuel must be used with the

Grill. Never attempt to operate the Grill with natural gas if it has been configured to use propane gas, to

prevent possible bodily injury.

• Always employ a qualified service agency to install all necessary gas supply plumbing, for safety reasons

and to assure compliance with all applicable Codes.

Warnings

Safety

• Always promptly shut off the gas supply and immediately extinguish all flames if you smell gas. Always

seek assistance from your gas supplier or local Fire Department if the gas smell persists, because of the

danger of fire or explosion.

• Always confirm that there are no gas leaks before lighting this Grill. Apply a 50/50 solution of liquid

soap and water to the gas supply line connectors with a brush or spray bottle, and watch for bubbles.

Never use a match or open flame to test for gas leaks.

• Always visually inspect the gas supply line for fraying, cracking or rodent damage before each use of this

Grill and, if necessary, install a replacement before lighting this Grill.

• Never permit a gas supply line to contact any heated surface of this Grill.

D. PREVENTION OF BURNS

• Always keep children and pets under close supervision when using this Grill, and never permit them to

come near the Grill while it is in use, as the exterior surfaces will be very hot.

• Always wear insulated protective mitts when working at the Grill, or when attempting to close a gas

supply valve after cooking has been completed, to prevent possible burns. Always use insulated pot holders

when handling containers of hot food.

• Always wear an insulated protective mitt when adding a smoking agent to the Smoker Box.

• Never store or use gasoline or other flammable or volatile substances in the vicinity of this Grill, or in

the vicinity of any other heat-generating appliance.

E. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Always confirm that this Grill has been grounded in accordance with local Codes or, in the absence of

local Codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA

C22.1, when an external electrical source is being utilized for the Rotisserie Motor.

• Always use a grounded three-prong outlet and a three-prong extension cord to energize the Rotisserie

Motor. Never alter or remove the grounding prong on the Rotisserie Power Cord, as an electric shock

hazard would then result.

• Never permit an electrical supply cord to contact any heated surface of this Grill.
