READ THIS CARE AND USE MANUAL CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY BEFORE USING YOUR
GRILL TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, BURN HAZARD OR OTHER INJURY. KEEP THIS MANU-
AL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
When properly cared for, your Alfresco ™ Gourmet Grill will give safe, reliable service for many years.
However, extreme care must be used since the grill produces intense heat, which can increase accident
potential. When using this appliance, basic safety practices must be followed, including but not limited to
the following:
• Begin by ensuring proper assembly. A qualified technician should perform all other service.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless specifically recommended in this manual.
• All other service should be referred to and performed by a qualified technician.
• For personal safety, wear proper apparel while barbecuing.
• 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.
• Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any grate,
burner or hot surface until it has cooled down sufficiently. Fabrics may ignite and result in personal injury.
• Use only dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause personal burns from steam. Do
not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot portions of the grill rack.
• Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill
use. These types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat
settings and according to their manufacturer’s directions.
• Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.
• Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the bottom of the grill by cleaning the grease tray often. Never while
grill is on or hot from recent use; pan will not come out.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line the grill racks, nor to line the drip tray. This can severely upset combustion
airflow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted knobs, igniters and in-
creased chance of personal injury. Never grill without the drip pan in place and pushed all the way to the back
of the grill. Without the drip pan, hot grease can leak downward creating a fire or explosion hazard.
• Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Never allow them to
sit, stand or play on or around the grill. Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill or in
the cart. Never allow children to crawl inside of the cart.
• Do not heat unopened food containers that may cause the container to build-up pressure and burst.
• Protect your hand when opening a hot grill lid. Never lean over an open hot grill.
• When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain you are depressing the
correct igniter button labeled for the burner you intend on using.
• When using the grill: do not touch the grill rack, burner grate, hood or immediate surrounding area as these
areas become extremely hot and could cause burns. Use only the handles and knobs provided for operation of
the grill.
