and cause bodily harm.
m WARNING: Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel sup-
ply hose away from any heated surfaces.
Plug in Accessory Power to your grill
Connect your grill to a convenient outdoor outlet. This appliance shall be grounded
while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. The appliance is equipped
with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper
grounding-type receptacle. Plug into a GFCI protected outdoor receptacle, where
available.
mWARNING: Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors that accept
the plug from the appliance. Only extension cords identified by
the marking with the suffix letters W-A, and tagged "Suitable for
use with outdoor appliances" shall be used outdoors. Use only
extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the
rating of the appliance. Do not use damaged extension cords.
Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged.
Do not abuse extension cord and do not tug on any cord to
disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges.
lighting your grill
m WARNING: Before each use of your grill it is important to
inspect the full length of the gas line hose. Your hose can
be accessed through the cabinet doors. If it is evident there
is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose
must be replaced with a manufacturer recommended part
prior to the appliance being put into operation.
Preheating grill
It is extremely important that your grill be up to temperature before you begin using
it. After lighting, close the lid and preheat the grill on "high" for 10 minutes. This
preheating will ensure that the cooking grid is hot enough for proper grilling.
m WARNING: Never leave a grill unattended to guard against
possible grease fires getting out of control. Grease fires can
be severe and cause grill damage, property damage and bodily
harm.
open or Close lid for grilling
Cooking with the lid open or closed is a matter of personal preference. Cooking with
the lid closed is recommended if you enjoy cooking at maximum "searing" tempera-
tures. This method will also speed the cooking process, and will give you a more ro-
bust, smoky, outdoor flavor. If you prefer cooking slower, with less flare up, we suggest
the lid-open method.
We recommend always cooking with your lid CLOSED if you are in a windy area or
colder climate. Your Ducane gas grill has been designed and constructed to give
®
you maximum flexibility and cooking performance. Be creative, try different cooking
methods on your grill to determine what suits your needs best...there is no "right" or
"wrong" way to cook...just different individual styles.

Check your parts list or your authorized dealer for the proper replacement hose as-
sembly. It will be necessary to open the doors to fully inspect the hose.
m DANGER: Make sure that the lid is in the full open postion
any time you attempt to light your grill. Failure to open the
lid could lead to delayed ignition which may result in serious
bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing
damage to property.
IMPORTANT
If an external electrical source is used it must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes and/or the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1
m WARNING: Please remember that this is an outdoor gas
cooking appliance. Many areas of the grill generate extreme
heat. We have taken every precaution to protect you from
the contact areas. However, it is impossible to isolate all
high-temperature areas. Therefore, use good judgment and
a certain degree of caution when grilling on this product. We
suggest a covered, protected hand during operation of grill.
Do not move your grill when it is in operation or hot to the
touch. Wait until your unit is turned off and properly cooled
down before moving from place to place. Failure to follow
this warning could result in personal injury.
