PRECAUTIONS
When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack, burner
grate or immediate surrounding area as these areas
become extremely hot and could cause burns. Use only
dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or
bulky cloth in place or potholders. Do not let potholders
touch hot portions of the grill rack.
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before
attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits
collect in the bottom of the grill. Clean often.
DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL TO LINE THE GRILL
RACKS OR GRILL BOTTOM. This can severely upset
combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the control
area. The result of this can be melted knobs, rotary
igniters and increased chance of personal injury.
For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep
the ports clean. It is necessary to clean them periodically
for optimum performance. The burners will only operate
in one position and must be mounted correctly for safe
operation.
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.
INSECT WARNING!!! Spiders and insects can nest in
the burners of this and any other grill, and cause the
gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very
dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur
behind the value panel, thereby damaging the grill and
making it unsafe to operate. Inspect the grill twice a
year.
Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is
cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or
around the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying
action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause
metal parts to corrode.
Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats
or products which promote flare-ups. Do not operate the
grill under unprotected combustible construction. Use
only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings,
garages, sheds, breezeways or other such enclosed areas.
THIS UNIT IS FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
Keep the area surrounding the grill free from
combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and
vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. If the
unit is stored indoors ensure that it is cool. If propane is
used, the cylinder must be unhooked and the propane
cylinder stored outside in a well ventilated area, out of
reach of children.
DO NOT USE BRIQUETTES OF ANY KIND IN THE
GRILL.
The VII stainless steel gas is designed for optimum
performance without the use of briquettes. Do not place
briquettes on the radiant as this will block off the area for
the grill burners to vent. Adding briquettes can damage
ignition components and knobs, and void the warranty.
Keep the back of the cart free and clear from debris.
Keep any electrical supply cord, or the rotisserie motor
cord away from the heated areas of the grill.
Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a
consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a
windbreak will be required. Always adhere to the
specified clearance.
NEVER USE A DENTED OR RUSTY PROPAN
PLACEMENT OF THE GRILL
CLEARANCE
To Non-Combustible Construction
A minimum of 3” clearance from the back of the grill to
non-combustible construction is required for the lid to
open fully.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT INTO COMBUSTIBLE
ENCLOSURES!
LOCATION
When determining a suitable location take into account
concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to traffic
paths and keeping any gas supply lines as short as
possible. Locate the grill only in a well-ventilated area.
Never locate the grill in a building, garage, breezeway,
shed or other such enclosed areas without an approved
ventilation system. During heavy use, the grill will
produce a lot of smoke. Lock the wheels after the grill is
placed in a suitable position according to the sticker
located beneath the right door.
