SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS
Improper use or installation is dangerous. Carefully follow these instructions.
Always remove the cover before lighting the Professional Side Burner. Never use the Side
Burner if a leak is present.
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
Do not let children use the professional Side Burner.
Do not leave children unattended near the Side Burner.
Never let children crawl or hang on the Side Burner.
Exercise care when operating the Professional Side Burner. The burner grate can get hot
enough to cause burns during operation .
Never leave the Side Burner on unattended.
Always wait 5 minutes before relighting the burner to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.
Should the burner go out during use, turn off the gas valve and wait 5 minutes before
attempting to relight. Always follow the lighting instructions. Never lean over a lit burner.
Never cook without the drip pan in place, pushed all the way to the rear of the burner box.
Use only in well ventilated areas.
Do not use in garages, breezeways, sheds, or other such enclosed areas.
Keep the area surrounding the Professional Side Burner clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, other flammable liquids or vapors, charcoal lighter fluid, and trash.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the Professional Side Burner. On
cart mounted units keep area beneath the burner free of debris. If the burner is built-in do not
store gas cylinders beneath the unit without adequate ventilation.
CAUTION:
Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of any appliance.
Children could be seriously injured if they should climb onto the appliance to
reach these items.
Keep the Professional Side Burner covered when not in use. Never connect an unregulated gas
line to the Professional Side Burner. If the Professional Side Burner has not been used for an
extended period of time (over winter, for example) the unit should be checked for gas leaks and
obstructions in the burner. Thoroughly clean the Professional Side Burner on a regular basis.
Only use the Professional Side Burner with the type of gas specified on the rating plate. To
change from LP gas to natural, or vice versa, a factory conversion kit (See page 6 for conversion
kit information) is required.

SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING!
Spiders and insects can nest in the burner(s) of this or any other gas appliance
and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous
condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby
damaging the unit and making it unsafe to operate.
You must inspect the burner(s) at least once a year or immediately if any of the
following conditions occur:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2. The Professional Side Burner does not reach temperature.
3. The Professional Side Burner heats unevenly.
4. The burner(s) make popping noises.
Do not attempt to disconnect any gas connections while your burner is in use, or the gas supply
is on.
When the Professional Side Burner is stored indoors the gas supply must be disconnected and,
if using an LP gas cylinder, the cylinder must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
Keep any electrical supply cord away from the heated surfaces of the Professional Side Burner.
On cart mounted units, never move without first allowing the Side Burner and/or grill to cool
and ensuring that the gas supply is turned off. Fold the side shelf down, and push; never pull
the grill.
Never use the Professional Side Burner in a windy area.
