BUILT-IN INSTALLATIONS
The Lynx Built-In Grill is designed for easy installation into 
masonry enclosures.
NOTE:  Lynx  built-in  grills  are  intended  either for 
installation  in  a  built-in  enclosure  constructed  of 
non-combustible materials or for an installation in a built 
in enclosure constructed of combustible material when 
installed with a Lynx insulating jacket (LIJ).
For non-combustible applications, the grill drops into the 
opening shown in the cutout detail drawing (See INDEX: 
“Gas Requirements”) and hangs from its counter-top trim. A 
deck is not required to support it from the bottom. 
When using the insulated jacket in a combustible enclosure, 
the jacket must be supported from the bottom by a ledge 
on each side or a full deck beneath the jacket.
(See INDEX: “Gas Requirements”) Pay special attention to 
the provisions shown for gas line hook-up.
The enclosure should have ventilation holes to prevent gas 
build-up in the event of a leak. The deck ledges and coun-
ter should be flat and level. (refer to ANSI Z21.58 Standard 
for Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliances, Section 1.7 Enclo-
sures For Self Contained LP-Gas Supply Systems)
This grill requires that a 120 volt, 60 hertz, 15 amp GFI certi-
fied outlet be installed by a qualified electrician.
Never locate the transformer or grill gas line behind the 
grill inside the insulated jacket.
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Minimum clearance from the sides and back of the grill to 
adjacent combustible construction below the counter top 
surface is 12” from the sides and 6 1/4” from the back of 
the hood. 
Dégagement minimal entre les parois latérales et l’arrière de l’appariel 
et la construction combustible au-dessous du panneau supérieur de 
l’appareil (30 cm à partir des parois latérales et 15.9 cm à partir de 
l’arrière de la hotte). 
Minimum clearance from sides and back of grill to adjacent 
combustible construction extending above the counter top 
surface is 12” from the sides and 6 1/4” from the back. 
Dégagement horizontal minimal entre les parois latérales et l’arrière 
de l’appariel et la construction verticale combustible au-dessus de 
l’appareil (30 cm à partir des parois latérales et 15.9 cm à partir de 
l’arrière). 
Do not use this appliance under unprotected overhead 
combustible surfaces. 
N’utilisez pas cet appareil sous des surfaces inflammables non 
protégées. 
A minimum of 6” of clearance is needed on the left side of 
the grill above the counter top for the rotisserie motor and 
spit rod. 
If the grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure, an 
approved insulated jacket is necessary and is available only 
from your Lynx dealer. Lynx insulated jackets have been 
designed and tested specifically for your Grill.
REAR HOOD CLEARANCE
A 3 inch clearance is required behind the grill to allow the 
front hood to open. 
The  grill  exhausts  combustion  products  and  cooking 
greases to the back. Never locate the grill where this 
exhaust will be difficult to clean. 
OVERHEAD PROTECTION AND EXHAUST REMOVAL  
If installed under any combustible contruction the 
cooking area over the grill must be covered with an exhaust 
hood. The hood must provide 3-6 inches of overhang on all         
exposed sides. The exhaust hood shall provide no less than 
1,200 CFM for proper exhaust ventilation. The hood must 
be approved for outdoor installation and provided with a 
dedicated GFCI protected branch circuit.
