SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE! Certain Liquid Propane dealers may fill liquid propane cylinders for use in the grill beyond cylinder filling capacity. This “Overfilling” may create a dangerous condition. “Overfilled” tanks can build up excess pressure. As a safety device, the tank pressure relief valve will vent propane gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure. This vapor is combustible and therefore can be ignited. To reduce this danger, you should take the follo

INSTALLATION LOCATING GRILL/BUILT-IN CLEARANCES Clearances to Non-Combustible Construction*: A minimum of 3" clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required for the purpose of allowing the lid to open fully. It is desirable to allow at least 6" rear and side clearance to non- combustible construction above the cooking surface for counter space. If you’ll be using the rotisserie option, the space is essential for motor and skewer clearance. The grill can be pla
