General Safety Information cont.

DANGER

???CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD

???This stove is a combustion appliance. All combustion appliances produce carbon monoxide (CO) during the combustion process. This product is designed to produce extremely minute, non-hazardous amounts of CO if used and maintained in accordance with all warnings and instructions. Do not block air flow into or out of the stove.

???Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces flu-like symptoms, watery eyes, headaches, dizziness, fatigue and possibly death. You can't see it and you can't smell it. It's an invisible killer. If these symptoms are present dur- ing operation of this product get fresh air immediately!

???For outdoor use only.

???Never use inside house, camper, tent, vehicle or other unventilated or enclosed areas. This stove consumes air (oxygen). Do not use in unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid endangering your life.

WARNING

???This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas is invisible, odorless, and flammable. An odorant is normally added to help detect leaks and can be described as a ???rotten egg??? smell. The odorant can fade over time so leaking gas is not always detectable by smell alone.

???Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking propane will sink to the lowest level possible. It can ignite by ignition sources including matches, lighters, sparks or open flames of any kind many feet away from the original leak. Use only propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.

???Propane gas should be stored or used in compliance with local ordinances 4 and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off propane when not in use.

WARNING: This fuel, and byproducts of combustion of this fuel, contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Preheating:

??? Allow the grilling surface to pre- heat on full power for 1 minute to reach the ideal cooking tempera- ture for grilling food.

Cooking:

???The grilling surface has been treated with a high quality, non- stick coating on which food can be cooked in a healthy way without adding fat.

???As the fat is collected in the water tray, the food is cooked (with no residual or burned fat) and remains tasty and tender.

???The grilling surface reaches its highest temperature (ideal for sear- ing grilled meat) after one minute of pre-heating.

???Never leave the cooking plate on without food placed on it for longer

than the one minute preheating time, otherwise you will damage the special coating.

???Place the food on the grilling sur- face and then use the knob that controls the gas output to adjust the cooking temperature to suit your requirements.

???It is also possible to adjust the cooking intensity by positioning the food at different places on the grilling surface. The temperature is higher in the center and lower towards the outer edge.

???Do not handle the grilling surface when it is in use. To add water to the water tray, pour into the hole marked ???A???.

To Clean

??? Remove propane cylinder from REGULATOR and replace plastic cap on cylinder.
