INSTALLATION

Locating Grill/Built-in Clearances

IMPORTANT!

Before installation, remove shipping brackets from the grill.

Loosen the four screws. Slide the shipping bracket off and

re-tighten the screws.

Location

When determining a suitable location, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind,

proximity to traffic paths and keeping any gas or electrical supply lines as short as possible and away

from heat sources. Locate the grill only in a well ventilated area. Do not build the grill under overhead

unprotected combustible construction. Never locate the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed

or other such enclosed areas. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of heat and smoke. Ensure

that the grill is used in a well ventilated area.

If locating the grill in a windy area, try to locate the grill so the prevailing wind will blow air at the

front of the grill as shown in Fig. 01b. This will assist the grill in venting hot air through the back of

the grill. In addition, this will help keep any smoke from blowing at someone who is cooking on the

grill. If you have to locate the grill in a windy area where the prevailing wind is at the rear of the

grill (Fig. 01a), a windscreen must be installed. The windscreen should be set-up so that it blocks

wind from entering the exhaust vent in the rear of the unit as shown in Fig. 01c. Location of the

windscreen relative to rear of the grill must adhere to the clearances specified for combustible or

non-combustible construction as defined in these instructions. Refer to following pages.

As a high-performance gas appliance, your grill requires significant amounts of air to support the

combustion process. Your grill is designed to take air in through the valve panel area, and send the

exhaust products out through the exhaust gap at the rear of the hood. Using your grill in windy

conditions can disrupt the proper flow of air though your grill, leading to reduced performance, or in

certain severe cases, causing heat buildup in the valve panel area. This can lead to problems such as

having the knobs melt, or burn hazards when the valve panel surfaces become too hot to touch.

Please note that damage to your grill resulting from use in windy conditions, such as melted knobs or

igniter wires, or valve panel discoloration from heat build-up, are excluded from warranty coverage.
