CARE & USE/INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS...(continued)
8. Do not heat unopened food containers as pressure
build-up will cause the container to explode.
9. Do not use aluminum foil to line grill racks or drip pans.
This will alter the airflow or trap excessive heat in the
control area and can melt control knobs and ignition
modules. Such damage is specifically excluded from
your warranty.
10. Never use charcoal or any other solid fuel in the grill.
11. Cooking excessively fatty meats and oils will cause
flare ups. Internal fires or damage caused by doing
so or by the grill being left unattended while cooking
are not covered under the terms and conditions of our
warranty.
12. Never grill without the drip pan in place. Always ensure
the drip pan is pushed all the way to the back of the
grill. Hot grease can leak downward and produce a fire
or explosion.
13. Grease is extremely flammable. Let hot grease cool
down before attempting to handle or dispose of it. The
drip tray and bottom of the firebox should be cleaned
of grease on a regular basis.
14. Do not use the grill unless a leak check has been
performed on all gas connections. (See INDEX: “Leak
Test Procedure” for further details.)
15. Never operate the grill while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
16. Do not lean on side shelves and never place a load
weighing more than 25 pounds on a side shelf.
17. If any burner does not light or goes out during
operation, turn off all gas control knobs, open the hood
and wait five (5) minutes before attempting to re-light.
18. Portable LP cylinders: Always shut off the main valve on
the LP cylinder after each use.
19. Spiders and insects like to nest in the burners, venturis,
valves and orifices of a grill, disrupting the gas flow.
This very dangerous condition can cause a fire behind
the control panel, damaging the grill and risking
personal injury. If your grill has been unused for a long
time, inspect and clean the burners, venturis, valves
and orifices. (See INDEX: “Cleaning your Lynx Grill” for
further details.)
GRILLING IN WINDY CONDITIONS
Outdoor grills create more heat than interior kitchen ranges.
That’s how they sear and grill steaks and other foods.
These high-performance burners require a constant, steady
supply of fresh air to mix with the fuel. Your Lynx grill pulls air
in through the front and vents hot gases out through the rear.
Using your grill in windy conditions may disrupt the front-to-
back air flow. If, while grilling with all burners on high and
the hood closed, you notice that the temperature gauge
fails to rise ... be careful. If wind has kept hot gases from
exiting the rear of the grill the control panel and knobs may
have become extremely hot.
Your Lynx grill features an exclusive, patent-pending Heat
Stabilizer that will deflect wind and, in most cases, prevent
this situation.
But there are a few things you can do to further prevent the
possibility of improper heat buildup:
• On breezy days, be careful not to leave the front hood
down for more than 15 minutes when the burners are on
high. (Never leave the grill unattended when in operation)
• If you suspect the grill is overheating, using an oven mitt,
open the front hood. Then adjust the burner control knob
to a lower setting.
• Install your grill with a wind break behind it.
• Orient the grill so prevailing winds are not blowing into the
rear of the grill.
Please Note: Any damage caused from use in windy
conditions, such as melted knobs or igniter wires,
or control panel discoloration from heat buildup, is
excluded from warranty coverage.
Wind hitting the back
of the grill can disrupt
proper exhaust.
Air enters through the front of the grill.
