Setting Up
This grill is designed for use outdoors, away from any flammable materials. It is important that there are no overhead obstructions and that there is a minimum distance of 12 feet (-4 meters) from the grill. It is important that the ventilation openings of the grill are not obstructed. The grill must be used on a level, stable surface. The grill should be protected from direct drafts and positioned or protected against direct penetration by any trickling water (e.g. rain). Do not move grill while hot and do not leave unattended during operation. Follow basic electrical safety precautions for outdoor appliances including: 1) Use only approved GFCI electrical outlet. 2) Do not plug appliance in until fully assembled and ready for use. 3) Do not expose electrical connections to rain or water at any time. 4) Place cords to avoid tripping hazards. 5) Ensure all extension cords are rated for outdoor use. 6) Employ a licensed electrical contractor to address any additional concerns for safe installation and operation.
