When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack, 
burner grate 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 of 
potholders. Do not allow potholders to touch hot 
portions of the grill rack. 
 
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before 
attempting to handle it. Do not allow grease 
deposits to collect in the grease tray at the bottom 
of the grill’s firebox. Clean the grease tray 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. 
 
For proper lighting and performance of the burners, 
keep the burner 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. To 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 inside the burners of 
this and other grills, which could disrupt gas flow. 
This dangerous condition could cause a fire behind 
and beneath the valve panel, damaging the grill and 
making it unsafe to operate.  
 
Inspect the grill at least twice a year. 
 
 
 
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. 
 
Do not use the grill to cook excessively fatty meats 
or other products which promote flare-ups.  
 
Do not operate the grill under unprotected 
combustible constructions. Use only in well 
ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages, 
sheds, breezeways or other such enclosed areas.  
 
This unit is intended for outdoor use only. 
 
Keep the areas surrounding the grill free from 
combustible materials and fluids, trash, 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 make sure it is cool.  
 
Do not use briquettes of any kind in the grill.  
 
The 720-0138-NG and 720-0141-LP grills are 
designed for optimum performance without the use 
of briquettes. Do not place briquettes on the flame 
tamers as this will block the vent to the grill burners. 
Adding briquettes can damage ignition components 
and knobs, and void the warranty.  
 
Keep the back of the cart free and clear from 
debris. Keep electrical supply cords and the 
rotisserie motor cord away from heated areas of the 
grill. 
 
Never use the grill in extremely windy conditions. If 
located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, 
mountaintop, etc.), a windbreak will be required. 
Always adhere to the specified clearance. 
 
PLACEMENT OF THE GRILL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
LOCATION 
When determining a suitable location take into 
account concerns such as exposure to wind,  
proximity to traffic paths, and keeping gas supply 
lines as short as possible.  
 
Place the grill in well-ventilated areas. Never locate 
the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or 
other such enclosed areas.  During heavy use, the 
grill will produce a lot of smoke.

A minimum of 3 in. clearance from the back of the 
grill to non-combustible materials are required for 
the lid to open fully.

There should be a minimum clearance of at least 
24 in. from all sides to combustible materials.
