TRAEGER T12737 Flatrock Flat Top Grill
Flatrock Flat Top Grill
The Flatrock Flat Top Grill is a cooking appliance that requires assembly
before use. It is important to read the entire manual before installation and
use to avoid property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
It is essential to contact your local building or fire officials about
restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area before
installation. Failure to maintain required clearances (air spaces) between
combustible materials is a major cause of fires.
Many parts of the Flat Top will become very hot during operation, so care must
be taken to avoid burns both during operation and afterward when the Flat Top
is still hot. Never leave the Flat Top unattended when young children are
present,
and never move it when it is operating. Let the Flat Top cool completely
before moving or attempting to transport it.
