9. When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain you
are turning the correct knob labeled for the burner you intend to use. If any burner does not
light, or goes out during operation, turn off all gas control knobs, and wait five (5) minutes
before attempting to re-light. See the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual.
10. Keep any electrical supply cord away from the heated areas of the Power Burner. The cord
is provided with a 3-prong grounding plug which should not be removed or altered. Do not
use this appliance with an ungrounded, 2-prong adapter. The cord must be plugged into a
properly grounded GFCI-protected outlet. See INSTALLATION section of this manual.
11. Spiders and insects like to nest in the burners, venturis, valves, and orifices of a Power Burner,
disrupting the gas flow in the burner. This very dangerous condition can cause a fire behind
the control panel, damaging the Power Burner and risking personal injury. If your Power
Burner has been unused for a long time, inspect and clean the burners, venturis, valves,
and orifices. It is recommended you inspect your Power Burner at least twice a year. See
BURNER ADJUSTMENT section of this manual for details.
12. Keep the areas surrounding the Power Burner free from combustible materials, trash, or
combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the
flow of combustion gases and ventilation airways (front).
13. Never attempt to move the Power Burner grate or center plate when hot. When in use,
portions of the Power Burner are hot enough to cause severe burns.
14. Always have an “ABC” type fire extinguisher accessible – never attempt to extinguish a grease
fire with water or other liquids.
15. Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments or long sleeves while cooking with the Power Burner.
They could ignite. For personal safety, wear proper apparel while cooking. Some synthetic
fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
16. Never let pot holders, covers, or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close
to any cooking 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 burns from steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of
potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot portions of the cooking grate.
17. Never touch the cooking grate or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare
hands while cooking with the Power Burner, as these areas become extremely hot and could
cause burns. Use only the handles and knobs provided for operation of the Power Burner.
18. Protect your hands with an insulated glove or mitt when operating the Power Burner. Always
keep your face away and open lids slowly on pots and pans to allow heat and steam to escape
before fully opening. Never lean over an open hot Power Burner.
19. The Power Burner metal cover must be removed while lighting. Leaving the cover in place
while lighting can result in an explosion and personal injury, or death. Never lean over a
Power Burner or look directly into the burner when attempting to light. See the LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual.
20. Do not heat unopened food containers (cans) as pressure build-up will cause the container to
explode.
21. Do not use aluminum foil to line the burner bowl or the drip tray. This will alter the airflow
to the burner or trap excessive heat in the control area. This can melt control knobs, wiring,
or igniters, and increase the risk of personal injury. Such damage is specifically excluded from
our warranty.
22. Never use the Power Burner without the drip tray in place and pushed all the way to the
back. Without the drip tray, hot grease or oil from a spill-over can leak downward creating a
fire or explosion hazard.
