  CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE
Be certain any visible damage to the carton is noted on 
freight bill or express receipt and signed by the person 
making delivery.
FILE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES IMMEDIATELY, regardless of 
extent of damage.
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE
If damage is unnoticed until the grill is unpacked, notify 
the transportation company or carrier immediately and file 
a “concealed damage” claim with them. This should be 
done within (5) days of the date delivery is made to you. Be 
sure to hold on to the container for inspection. We cannot 
assume responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit. 
(See INDEX: “Obtaining Service from Lynx” for further 
details.)
• Never install this product into a combustible enclosure without an insulated jacket. Doing so could result in fire, 
property damage and personal injury.
• Never locate the grill under a roof or overhang, in a building, garage, shed or other such enclosed area. 
• Never locate the grill under unprotected combustible construction. 
• Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas 
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and 
Handling Code, B149.2, in Canada.

IMPORTANT NOTES
WHERE’S THE WIND?
When selecting a suitable location, consider important  
factors such as exposure to the wind and foot-traffic  
patterns.
If you have a freestanding grill, position it so the prevailing 
wind blows into the front control panel (at your back when 
grilling), supporting the proper front-to-rear airflow.
Built-in grills located in areas with prevailing winds should 
be protected by a wind barrier. 
Winds hitting the back of the grill directly may cause  
problems, as well as 
wind blowing along 
the hood gap.
HOW LONG IS YOUR RUN?
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible because 
gas lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow 
and tee that is added. This drop in pressure affects grill         
performance. (See INDEX: “Gas Supply Line Runs” for 
further details.)
ARE YOU “ON-THE-LEVEL”?
Proper leveling during installation is critical. A grill that 
is out of level will cause erratic burner combustion and         
inefficient, uneven heating. A carpenter’s spirit level 
should  be  used  to  level  the  grill  both  front-to-back  and                                                                              
side-to-side.
If the floor is uneven or has a decided slope, re-leveling 
may be required each time you move a freestanding unit.
Be sure wind doesn’t blow into the hood gap.
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 counter 
should be flat and level. (refer to ANSI Z21.58 Standard for 
Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliances, Section 1.7 Enclosures 
For Self Contained LP-Gas Supply Systems)
This grill requires that a 120 volt, 60 hertz, 15 amp GFI 
certified 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.
