Safety Practices - EXPERT GRILL 910-0014 Guia Del Propietario

SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID INJURY
When properly cared for, your grill will provide safe
and reliable service for many years. However,
extreme care must be used as the grill produces
intense heat that has a potential to cause injury
when misused. When using this appliance, basic
safety practices must be followed, including the
following:
• Do not repair or replace any part of the grill
unless specifically recommended in this manual.
All other service should be referred to a qualified
technician.
• This outdoor cooking appliance is not intended to
be installed in or on boats and other recreational
vehicles.
• Do not use this grill under any overhead
combustible construction including ceilings or
overhangs.
• WARNING! Keep children and pets away.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in
an area where the grill is being used. Do not
allow them to sit, stand or play in or around the
grill at any time.
• Do not store items of interest to children around
or below the grill.
• For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose
fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn
while using this appliance. Some synthetic
fabrics are highly flammable and should not be
worn while cooking.
• Always use heat-resistant gloves or mitts when
handling particularly hot components.
• When using the grill, do not touch the warming
rack, burner grid or immediate surroundings as
these areas become extremely hot and could
cause burns. Use only dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause
steam burns. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in
place or potholders. Do not allow potholders to
touch hot portions of the grill rack.
• Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for grill use. These materials may
break with sudden temperature changes. Use
only on low or medium heat settings in
accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. A build-
up of pressure may cause the containers to
burst.
• Never lean over an open grill.
• Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before
attempting to handle it. Clean out the grease tray
and grease bucket often to avoid build-up.
• Do not use water to control flare ups or extinguish
the fire. Turn off the grill, unplug the power cord,
and wait for the grill to cool down.
• Always have the grease system properly installed
while operating this grill. Never operate without a
grease bucket in place under the side shelf.
• Dispose of ashes after the grill has completely
cooled following a proper shutdown. Wait until
grease and ash are completely cooled before
disposing.
• Wait until the fuel is extinguished and the grill is
completely cool before moving, covering, or
storing the grill.
• 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.
• Clean the grill with caution. To avoid steam
burns, do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean
the grill while it is hot. Some cleaners produce
toxic fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot
surface.
• Turn off grill controls and make certain 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.
• Keep the area surrounding the grill free from
combustible materials including, fluids, trash,
and vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter
fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
• To reduce the risk of fire, remove pots and pans
while the operating appliance is unattended.
• Do not use accessories that are not specified for
this appliance.
• The use of alcohol, prescription, or non-
prescription drugs may impair the consumer's
ability to properly assemble or safely operate the
appliance.
• Disposal of ashes – Ashes should be placed in a
metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a non-
combustible floor or on the ground, well away
from all combustible materials, pending final
disposal. When the ashes are disposed by burial
in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should
be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
