PLANNING AND DESIGN

Start by identifying the number and size of components you want to include in your outdoor cooking center. Countertops must be constructed of non-combustible, outdoor-safe materials. Consider outdoor lighting to illuminate after-dark grilling. For assistance in designing and building your outdoor cooking center, contact a landscape architect or general contractor. Review the drawings on the following pages to determine the exact dimensions and items needed for an outdoor cooking center. Keep in mind that the gas line hook-up is on the right hand side of the main built in-grill. The structure, grill and support items must be kept level throughout the installation to ensure proper operation.

LOCA

TION

Take into account convenience and visual impact as well as traffic flow, wind exposure, and the site’s structural suitability. The grill should never be placed in an enclosed area without an approved ventilation system, or beneath a combustible overhang. Because the grill exhausts to the rear, it should never be located in front of a window or less than 12” from hard-to-clean surfaces. We recommend keeping your gas supply lines as short as possible for best performance. To ensure a perfect fit, we strongly recommend that you have all components on hand prior to final construction.

CLEARANCE

TO NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION

For your safety a minimum of 3” clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required. You should allow at least 6” side clearance to non-combustible construction. The side vents on this unit can be covered for built in installations without danger of fire or without impairing the operation of the grill.

UTILITIES

For natural gas grills, consult your local gas utility company for hook-up requirements. All gas connections should be made by a certified technician or a gas supply company. For natural gas installation, the supply line must be at least 1/2” diameter. The rotisserie requires a 110/120 volt electric supply and GFI receptacle. (6.5 amp min.) that should be installed by a qualified electrical technician. If your plan includes a sink, arrange for a certified plumbing technician to run a water line to the site.

ELECTRICAL GR

OUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The optional rotisserie kit is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

WARNING

The 8450 Series grill can be installed as a built-in grill. If installed as a built-in grill, the outdoor cooking center must be constructed of non-combustible material.

Natural Gas Installation — 8450 Series

NOTE: Your 8450 Series grill is set up from the factory to use NATURAL GAS. If you want to use LP

GAS, you must purchase the LP GAS CONVERSION KIT (sold separately). Please skip to the section titled “LP Cylinder Conversion - 8450 Series ”.

YOUR NATURAL GAS COMPANY MUST INSTALL AND

CONNECT THE GAS SUPPLY LINE TO THE GRILL

WARNING

Never attach an unregulated gas line to the appliance. Connection to an unregulated gas line can cause excessive heat or fire.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either Natural Gas (N.G.) or Liquid Propane (L.P.), and make sure the serial plate agrees with that of the supply. Conversion kits are available separately for an additional cost which will enable you to convert your grill from L.P. to N.G. or to convert your grill from N.G. to L.P. Please see your local dealer for more information.

NOTE: Always have a qualified service technician perform

difficult conversions or modifications.

For natural gas installations, an installer must supply a gas shutoff valve that is easily accessible to the grill. All installer supplied parts must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990, and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1998.

All thread sealing compound must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of L.P. gases. Never use thread sealing compound on flare fittings. All gas connections should be made by a competent qualified service technician and in accordance with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1998. Gas conversions kits may be purchased separately. When ordering gas conversion kits, have the model number, and the type of gas (N.G. or L.P.) used for your grill.

This grill and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.).

This grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.).
