LOCATING BURNER – Installation Requirements
5
Installation Requirements
1. COMBUSTABLE MATERIALS: For Wood Framed Island Construction it is Extremely important Not to use any
wood within 24" of the side Burner. Wood frame is fine for Bar/Sink areas and or Storage compartments. If
your island is mostly wood, just substitute for Metal Studs while within the minimum distance. If the island
structure is against any Combustible Materials - be sure to provide protection and keep a minimum
distance.
2. ISLAND VENTILATION: For every Gas-Related appliance Grill or Side Burner you are required to have at
least Two Air-Vents in the Island, within 24" of Appliance. Place Two Vents in Low position within 6" from
base on exterior wall when using Liquid Propane and place Two Vents in High position within 6” below the
counter bottom edge for Natural Gas. Do not Build Enclosure under Side Burners, Side burners are meant
to Free-Hang from countertop surface.
3. GAS SAFETY & ACCESS: For either Natural Gas or Liquid Propane type, it is required you have clear access
to all interior island Gas-Plumbing allow minimum 6 Inch clearance around underside back of Burner, we
recommend placing one of Sunstone's Single Access Vented Doors. Also have at least One Safety-Shut Off
Valve Present and within easy access, if this appliance is being installed in a High-Traffic location like for
Residential Community, it is important to have installed a Shut-Off Timer set for Auto-Shut off in 20
Minutes.
** DEFINITION OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL -
Any
materials of a building structure or decorative
structure made of wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, vinyl/plastic or other materials that are capable of
transferring heat or being ignited and burned. Such material shall be considered combustible even though flame-
proofed, fire-retardant treated, surface-painted, or plastered.
ATTENTION:
All Gas Burner Installations MUST HAVE MINIMUM TWO AIR-FLOW VENTS, either
in ELEVATED POSITION for Natural Gas or LOWERED POSITION for Liquid Propane. Your Warranty may
be VOID if island does not meet basic setup requirements.
BODILY INJURY: Failure to maintain required clearances creates a fire hazard that
may result in property damage or serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER BUILD YOUR OUTDOOR KITCHEN ISLAND USING COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS,
MAINTAIN 24” DISTANCES FROM BURNER. USING A BURNER JACKET IS NOT A SURE BET TO PROTECT
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. THE USE HARDY-BOARD AS AN INSULATOR IS NOT SUFFECIANT, A
SUSTAINED FIRE WILL BURN THROUGH HARDY-BOARD WITHIN 15 MINUTES.
