PLANNING THE LOCATION OF THE BARBECUE

This barbecue is designed for outdoor use only. DO NOT use this unit under unprotected ﬂ ammable surfaces. DO

NOT use this appliance inside a building, garage, or any other unprotected covered area (see EXHAUST REMOVAL

below). DO NOT use this barbecue in or on a recreational vehicle or boat.

Important: This unit is NOT insulated, and therefore the unit, when in operation, must be located with a minimum of

18" (45.7 cm) of side and back clearance from unprotected combustible materials such as wood, plastic, or

stucco with wood framing.

GAS-SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

For natural gas or a household propane system, rigid

(1.3 cm) or

" (1.9 cm) black steel pipe or local code-

approved pipe is required to conduct the gas supply to the

unit. An outdoor-approved ﬂ exible connector can be used

to connect the household gas supply to the barbecue. DO

NOT use a rubber hose within the grill enclosure.

Apply

only joint compounds that are resistant to all gasses on all

male pipe ﬁ ttings.

Note: If

" (1.3 cm) pipe is used with natural gas, it

should be no longer than 20' (6.1 meters).

Important: An external valve (with a removable key) in

the gas line is necessary for safety when the

barbecue is not in use. It also provides for

convenient maintenance.

INSTALLATION

GAS SUPPLY AND MANIFOLD PRESSURES

For natural gas - Normal 7" water column (w.c.), minimum

5" w.c., maximum 10

" w.c.

For propane gas - Normal 11" w.c., minimum 8" w.c.,

maximum 13" w.c.

ENSURING PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND

COOLING AIR FLOW

You must maintain proper air ﬂ ow for the barbecue to

perform as it was designed (Fig.

8-1). If airﬂ ow is blocked,

overheating and poor combustion will result. Do not block

the 1" front air inlet along the

bottom of the face or more

than 75% of the cooking grid

surface with objects such as

pans or griddles.

Note: The 1" front air

space allows access to the

drip tray.

ELECTRICAL OUTLETS

All electrical outlets in the

vicinity of the barbecue must be properly grounded.

Note: Keep electrical supply cords away from all heated

surfaces.

EXHAUST REMOVAL

If installed or used under a patio roof, the cooking grid area

must be fully covered by a chimney and exhaust hood.

An exhaust fan with a rating of 1,000 CFM (cubic feet per

minute) or more may be necessary to efﬁ ciently remove

smoke and other cooking by-products from the covered

area. This barbecue shall not be used under unprotected

overhead combustible construction. THIS UNIT SHOULD

NOT BE LOCATED IN A FULLY ENCLOSED AREA OF

ANY KIND.

CAUTION: Wind blowing into or across the rear oven lid

vent (Fig. 8-2) can cause poor performance

and/or dangerous overheating. Orient the

grill so that the prevailing wind blows toward

the front of the grill (Fig. 8-3).

CAUTION: To prevent dangerous overheating, the rear

of the unit must have a minimum clearance

of 4" from any backsplash/wall.

Test all gas connections under pressure with a half-and-

half soap and water solution. If bubbles appear, there is

a leak. Turn off the gas and tighten the connections. Then

turn on the gas and repeat the leak test. Repeat until no

leaks are detected. Never use an open ﬂ ame to test

for leaks.

Important: This unit is NOT insulated, and therefore if an approved insulating liner is not added, the unit must be located

with a minimum of 18" (45.7 cm) of side and back clearance from unprotected combustible materials such

as wood, plastic, or stucco with wood framing, when in operation.

CONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY

THE SUPPLIED REGULATOR MUST BE REMOTELY

ATTACHED IN-LINE BETWEEN THE GAS SUPPLY AND

THE UNIT.

Always ensure the oriﬁ ces and regulator are set for the

gas type your unit is to be installed to.

Connect a C.S.A. listed

" ﬂ ex connector (not included) to

the adapter found on the manifold.

Install a

" ﬂ are -

" NPT adapter to the ﬂ ex connector. Then

connect the supplied regulator to the adapter using pipe joint

compound resistant to all gasses. Orient so that the arrow

stamped on the regulator points in the direction of the gas ﬂ ow.

Run the gas supply pipe and install to the regulator. Use pipe

joint compound resistant to all gasses. Ensure connections

are tight. (An adapter is required if the gas supply pipe is other

than

" in diameter.)

Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position. Turn the gas

supply on. Then carefully check all gas connections for leaks

with a brush and half-soap/half-water solution before lighting.

Never use a match or open ﬂ ame to test for leaks.

Close the dedicated gas-supply shut-off valve, then slide

the grill into place. Do not to pinch, kink, or damage the gas

connector line.
