CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
1. NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE
COOKING.
2. Ensure all tie-down straps have been removed from the
burners.
3. Always use caution when operating the grill in a windy
area. (See INDEX: “Grilling in Windy Conditions” for
further details.)
4. Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments or long sleeves
while grilling. They could ignite.
5. Never touch the grill racks, hood or immediate sur-
rounding metal surfaces with your bare hands while
grilling.
6. Use an insulated glove or mitt when opening and
operating the grill. Always open the grill lid slowly to
allow heat and smoke to escape before fully opening.
7. The grill hood must be fully opened while lighting the
grill. Releasing fuel into a closed grill before lighting
will not make it light sooner or more efficiently. It will
only risk explosion and personal injury or death. Never
lean over a hot grill surface or look directly into the grill
when attempting to light.
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 them 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 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 L.P. cylinders: Always shut off the main valve
on the L.P. 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 the Ceramic
Burner” for further details.)
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE REVIEW THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE YOU USE YOUR
GRILL.
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 when the burners are on high if the is grill
unattended.
• 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.
GRILLING IN WINDY CONDITIONS
Wind hitting the back of the grill can
disrupt proper exhaust.
Air enters through the front 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.
