Pre-Grill Checklist
BEFORE FIRST USE
A quick safety check should be performed before using your appliance for the first
time. Please ensure that:
1. All packing materials and tie-downs have been removed from the appliance. (See
INDEX: “Unpacking & Assembly” for further details.)
2. You have fuel connected. (See INDEX: “Gas Connections” for further details.)
3. You have electric connected. (See INDEX:“ Electrical Connections – For Appliances
Equipped with a Lighting Package” for further details.)
4. A qualified gas technician has performed a leak test on all the fittings that supply
fuel to your grill.
BEFORE EACH USE
A quick safety check should be performed before each time you use the grill (for your
safety).
1. Clean and inspect the gas hose. If there is evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts, or leaks,
do not use the grill. The hose must be replaced prior to using the unit. Replace the
hose assembly with the exact type specified by Crown Verity.
2. If you do not smell gas, shut everything off and have a qualified technician service
the appliance.
3. Ensure the gas hose is clear of the appliance. Keep the fuel supply hose away from
any heated surface(s).
4. Check that the area near the appliance is clear of combustible materials and vapors,
including alcohol, gasoline, aerosol containers and dry goods. Keep electrical cords
from being in contact with the unit.
5. Do not use the appliance with overly loose-fitting clothing, especially loose sleeves
that may come in contact with the hot surfaces.
6. Never grill without the grease/water tray in place. Always ensure that the tray is pushed all
the way to the back and that you are keeping water in the tray. Failure to do so can cause a
fire.
7. Grease is extremely flammable. Let the grease/water tray cool down before you attempt to
handle or dispose of its contents. The grease/water tray should be cleaned of grease on a
regular basis.
