Check your local building codes for the proper method of installation. In the absence of local codes, this unit 
should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code No. Z223.1-1998 USA or CAN/CGA-B149.1/.2 
Natural  Gas/Propane  Code  (Canada)  latest  edition  or  the  National  Electrical  Code ANSI/NFPA  No.  70  or  the 
Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1, 1990 or latest version. 
•  Before  installing  built-in  grills  in  enclosures,  copy  all  product  information such  as model  number,  serial 
number and type of grill (e.g. natural gas or LP) and store information in a safe place.     
•  If the grill is installed by a professional installer or technician, be sure that he or she shows you where your 
gas supply shut-off is located. All gas lines must have a shut-off that is readily and easily accessible. If you 
smell gas, check for gas leaks immediately. Check only with a soap and water solution. Never check for gas 
leaks with an open flame.   
Notice: 
We strongly  recommend  professional installation  of  your  Coyote  grill.  These  instructions  provide the 
measurements necessary to construct a masonry structure to house your outdoor gas grill. 
IMPORTANT:   
Gas fittings, regulator, and installer supplied shut-off valves must be easily accessible. 
LOCATION OF YOUR GRILL: 
Locate the grill only OUTSIDE in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, 
shed  or  other  such  enclosed  areas  without  an  approved  ventilation  system.  When  in  use,  the  grill  will 
generate a lot of smoke. When installing your grill, select an outdoor location that will ensure there is adequate 
area for the smoke to dissipate IN ORDER TO AVOID INHALATION OF POTENTIALLY TOXIC FUMES. 
Ventilation Requirements for Proper Operation of your Coyote Grill 
•  Ventilation for a gas grill is absolutely mandatory to ensure that your grill performs as intended and to 
ensure the safety of you, your family, and guests. Proper ventilation is necessary to allow heat inside 
your  grill  to  escape and  also  to allow any  gas  that  has  leaked  from a  tank  or  connection  to  escape 
before  a  buildup  of  such  gas  can  occur  and  possibly  ignite.    Failure  to 
provide proper ventilation will nullify Coyote’s warranty and will cause a risk of bodily injury or death. 
•  If  you elect to install your grill into  an  island, the island itself must be ventilated properly. Any such 
island  must have a  minimum of  2 vents (but optimally  4  vents)  per  cabinet that has any sort of  gas 
supply or connection. Each vent must be at least 20 sq. in in size and have access to outside/fresh air. 
Those vents will allow heat that is trapped inside due to wind to be able to dissipate out of the island 
vents. However, if the island is not ventilated properly and the wind is coming from the back, then the 
heat will try to escape through the easiest exit, which will most likely be through the bottom of the grill 
and front control panel.   
•  A simple way to think of what is occurring inside your grill is that when your burners are on, they are 
emitting a flame that creates the heat to cook your food. This heat must exhaust or escape from the 
grill, otherwise you  would eventually have a unit that would not only build up  intense heat but also 
dangerous pressure. This could cause severe damage to not only the grill but any operators or people 
or property near-by. The grill itself allows for ventilation mainly through the rear of the unit above the 
rear  panel  but  below  the  top  of  the  hood.  However,  wind  can  act  as  a  barrier  to  ventilation  and 
exhaust. This blockage of exhaust can cause problems and hazardous conditions. Therefore, great care 
must be taken in selecting a location for your grill and in the installation of it into any masonry island
