2. Safety Information

WARNING:

• Do not place these rubber grill feet in a dishwasher.
• The rubber material may be potentially allergenic for some individuals.
• These rubber feet are not suitable for extremely high temperatures. Ensure they are used in environments appropriate for rubber materials.

3. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install the rubber grill feet:

1. Preparation: Ensure your grill grates are clean and free from grease or debris where the new rubber feet will be attached.
2. Removal of Old Feet (if applicable): Carefully remove any old, worn, or damaged rubber feet from your grill grates. You may need a small tool like pliers or a flathead screwdriver if they are tightly fitted.
3. Installation: Take one new UNIVERSALE rubber grill foot. Align it with the designated attachment point on the grill grate leg or support.
4. Secure Attachment: Firmly push the rubber foot onto the attachment point until it is securely seated. Ensure it is snug and does not wobble.
5. Repeat: Repeat the process for all remaining grill feet, ensuring all necessary points on your grill grates have new, secure rubber feet.
6. Verification: Once all feet are installed, place the grill grate on a flat surface to verify stability. The grate should sit evenly without rocking.

4. Operating Instructions

The UNIVERSALE Rubber Grill Feet are passive components designed to enhance the functionality and safety of your grill grates. Once installed, they operate by:

• Stabilization: Providing a stable base for your grill grates on various surfaces, preventing sliding or shifting during cooking or handling.
• Surface Protection: Acting as a buffer between the metal grill grate and your countertop or grill surface, preventing scratches and damage.
• Noise Reduction: Minimizing metallic clanking sounds when placing or moving the grill grates.

No active operation is required after installation. Their function is continuous as long as they remain attached and in good condition.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your UNIVERSALE Rubber Grill Feet, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Clean the rubber feet periodically with mild soap and water. Wipe them down with a damp cloth to remove any grease or food residue. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Drying: Ensure the rubber feet are completely dry before re-placing the grill grates to prevent moisture buildup.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the rubber feet for signs of wear, cracking, or damage. Over time, rubber can degrade due to heat exposure or repeated use.
• Replacement: If any rubber foot shows significant wear or damage, replace it immediately with a new one from the kit to maintain optimal stability and protection.
• Temperature Exposure: Avoid exposing the rubber feet to direct, extreme heat sources for prolonged periods, as this can accelerate degradation.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your UNIVERSALE Rubber Grill Feet, consider the following:

Grill Grate is Unstable or Wobbles:

• Check Installation: Ensure all rubber feet are securely pushed onto their respective attachment points. A loose foot can cause instability.
• Inspect for Damage: Examine each rubber foot for tears, cracks, or significant wear. A damaged foot will not provide proper support.
• Verify Quantity: Confirm that all necessary attachment points on the grill grate have a rubber foot installed. Missing feet will lead to imbalance.
• Surface Evenness: Ensure the surface on which the grill grate is placed is flat and even. Uneven surfaces can cause apparent wobbling.

Rubber Feet Fall Off Easily:

• Incorrect Fit: Verify that these rubber feet are the correct size and type for your specific grill grate model. While designed to be universal, some grill grate designs may have unique attachment points.
• Wear and Tear: If the feet have been in use for a long time, the rubber may have lost its elasticity, causing them to fit loosely. Replace them with new ones.
