specifications are based on the product and are certified for safe consumer by Intertek
Laboratories (ETL). The homeowner or installer must verify that all local building codes will
be met with the installation of this grill.
! TO NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION: For non-combustible material, this grill
can be placed directly on, or adjacent to the non-combustible material. The hood on
a Coyote grill pivots mainly on the body. If you have a wall or partition behind the
unit that would block ventilation, then a minimum of 2" clearance from the back of
the grill, to the wall is needed for the purpose of ventilation. Furthermore, if you DO
NOT have a wall or partition blocking the ventilation of the unit, then you only need
an extra 2" behind the unit for the hood to open fully.
! CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION: For combustible construction,
you must follow the instructions below to ensure the safety of the homeowner.
!!Maximum depth of overhead cabinets can be 13”
!!Minimum height of countertop from floor should be 36”
!!The minimum flat countertop surface that the grill will rest upon must be equal
to or greater than the overall grill dimensions
!!30” minimum clearance between the top of the grill and the bottom of an
unprotected wood or metal cabinet OR 24” minimum clearance when the
bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than ¼” thick flame
retardant mill board covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, .015”
thick stainless steel, .024” thick aluminum or .020” thick copper.
!!A minimum height clearance of 6-1/4" is required from the top of the counter

Operating Instructions:
! Your grill is designed to reach a temperature range of 175-550 degrees Fahrenheit, by
adjusting the temperature control valve. The larger the image gets around the bezel the
higher the temperature will go. There is also a built-in automatic shutoff, that will turn off
the grill after 60 minutes.
o 60 minutes is the maximum time you can set but the timer valve allows for any
time to be set up to 60 minutes. You can also adjust the timer valve as needed
during cooking and it will maintain your set temperature.
! Before using your grill, remove the cooking grate and drip tray from the grill. Make sure
all packaging remnants are removed as well. Wash the grate thoroughly with soapy
water and a non-abrasive cloth.
o Make sure to only use the Coyote spatula and toolset that came with your grill, or
other high temp non-abrasive tools, to ensure no damage to the Teflon coated
cooking grate.
! Ensure that the element, cooking grate, ceramic tray and stainless steel drip tray are all
in their correct positions before use.
! When you are done grilling, be sure to turn the temperature control knob and also the
timer knob to the “OFF” position.
Preparing Food for the Grill
! Always cook foods adequately. Undercooked foods can retain bacteria, especially if
thawed or exposed to warm conditions prior to cooking.
! Always use separate plates and utensils for the handling of raw food. Never place raw
food and cooked food on the same plate, and never place cooked food on a plate that
was used for handling raw food.
! Always carefully wash all plates and utensils used to handle raw food before using them
to handle cooked food.
! Always wash all vegetables, seafood and poultry before cooking.
! Always leave uncooked foods in the refrigerator until you are ready to start cooking.
! Always marinate meat in the refrigerator. Dispose of the excess marinade, and never
reuse it.
Grilling Tips:
! If you pre-cook meat or poultry, do so immediately before grilling.
! Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours of taking food off the grill.
! Never let the tray boil dry. That could be hazardous, as grease from fatty foods that have
collected in the tray could ignite and possibly cause bodily injury or property damage.
! Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature.
! Always trim excess fat from your foods to reduce the occurrence of flare-ups during
cooking.
! Apply a light coating of cooking oil to the cooking grids before grilling, to prevent foods
from sticking.
! Cook similar portion sizes together, so that they all cook evenly.
! Use tongs to turn foods on the grill.

Operations and Features
8!
! Never pierce foods while they are cooking on the Grill, as this will dry them out.
! Turn foods infrequently. Some chefs say that a good steak should never be turned more
than once.
! Apply sugar-based sauces such as commercial barbecue sauces only during the latter
stages of cooking, to prevent charring.
! Soak the string you use to tie up roasts and poultry on the rotisserie spit to protect it
from burning.
! Use a disposable aluminum tray filled with water, fruit juice, wine or a marinade to add
extra flavor and moisture to slow-cooked foods like roasts, whole chickens, turkeys or
ducks.
Controlling Flare-ups
Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a gas grill. This adds to the unique flavor of
cooking on a gas grill. Excessive flare-ups resulting from the build-up of grease in the
bottom of the grill can over-cook the food and cause a dangerous situation for you and your
grill. If this should occur, DO NOT pour water onto the flames, which can cause the grease to
splatter and could result in serious burns or bodily harm. If grease fire occurs, close the hood
and turn off the main burners until the grease burns out. Use caution when opening the
hood as sudden flare-ups may occur.
To Minimize Flare-ups:
:! Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
:! Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low settings or indirectly.
:! Ensure that your grill is on level ground and the grease is allowed to fall into the
stainless steel drip tray
CAUTION: All cleaning and maintenance should be done only when grill is turned off and
cool.
Drip Tray
The drip tray located below the grill should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy buildup
of debris.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless it is covered.
Rain water can collect inside the grill, the grill stand or the drip tray if left uncovered. If the
drip tray is not cleaned after use and the grill is left uncovered, the drip tray will fill with water
causing grease and water to spill into the grill stand. We recommend cleaning and storing
the drip tray after every use.
Cooking Grate
The cooking grates can be cleaned after cooking is completed and the grill has been turned
off and allowed to cool. Wear an oven mitt and scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If
the grill is allowed to cool down and the grease/debris becomes hard, cleaning the grates
will be easier if removed from the grill and cleaned with a mild detergent and a non-abrasive
cloth.
Care & Maintenance
9!
Flavorizers
You must clean the flavorizers after or before each use of the grill to ensure no build-up of
grease can occur, which could cause a grease fire. Excessive smoke, is a good indication that
there is too much grease built-up near (or on) the element. The briquettes are made of
ceramic and the tray it rests in are made of 304 stainless steel. To thoroughly clean them
when they become saturated with grease/debris, you can place them in your dishwasher as
well. Take notice of any broken briquettes to avoid clogging your dishwasher.
Heating Element
The heating element can rise to a 90-degree angle to help with pulling out the ceramic
flavorizer and stainless steel drip tray. If the element becomes dirty, you can take a
non-abrasive cloth with some light detergent and spot clean the element to help clean the
grease off. Ensure that the grill is un-plugged from the outlet and the element (and full grill)
is fully dry before plugging back in.
Stainless Steel Care and Maintenance
It is a common misconception that stainless steel will maintain its original factory shine with
little help from the consumer. Unfortunately, this is not true. Stainless steel will not stain,
discolor, corrode or rust as fast as other types of steel, but it is not fully stain or weather
proof. If it is not properly maintained, all grades of stainless steel can face surface
discoloration, corrosion and eventually rust. Any stainless steel that is exposed to the
environment will require attention and care throughout its life to ensure that it keeps its shine
and structural integrity.
Cleaning the Stainless Steel and Polishing
1. To clean the stainless steel, you will want to wash off all dirt and debris from the steel
with warm water. If you have tough spots to clean, then a degreaser such as Formula
409 can be used.
2. Next, you will want to rinse and dry the steel thoroughly with a clean towel. DO NOT
allow the steel to air dry as the standing water can cause surface discoloration.
3. The last thing you want to do is to protect to the unit with a good polish. There are
several polishes on the market that work great (Barkeepers Friend Polish and
Stainless Steel Magic are a few) and will help keep your grill protected from the
elements for a longer period of time. Most of these polishes are toxic, so you would
only want to use these on the exterior of the grill (not your cooking grates or
flavorizers).
a.!You will want to apply the polish to a clean paper towel and wipe with the
direction of the grain in the stainless steel.
b. There should be no excess liquid on the surface but it is acceptable for it to be
a little oily, as that will dissipate.
4. If you have a situation where your grill has developed surface discoloration or surface
rust, then you need to clean the unit as stated above and use a good polish
(Barkeepers Friend Polish, or Instant Rust Out) to remove the spots.
a.!Each of these polishing agents take about 30 seconds to work and then you
10!
simply wipe off the product (if needed use a soft Scotch-Brite pad to remove
any tough spots.) If you used Barkeepers Friend, then you DO NOT need to do
anything further. If you used Instant Rust Out (or another cleaning agent), you
would want to wipe it down with fresh water and dry it off again with a clean
towel and then coat the steel with a layer of WD-40 or another Stainless
Polishing solution, which will act as a surface protectant for the steel.
i. IMPORTANT: Be sure not to have your grill on when using any
flammable product, such as WD-40. These products are extremely
flammable in their aerosol form.
Environmental Factors that can affect your Grill
Mother Nature is a wonderful thing but unfortunately she can be tough on outdoor
appliances. There are several usual causes for surface discoloration and corrosion on your
stainless steel outdoor equipment:
1) Mortar (which contains lime) from the island assembly process, has rested on the unit for
a pro-longed period of time and the unit was not cleaned quickly
2) Pool chemicals were splashed onto the grill (chlorine and acid will cause very quick
problems) and the unit was not cleaned off quickly
3) Hard water from sprinklers (chlorine in the water) was allowed to sit on the unit
4) Salt from the ocean air/water was allowed to rest upon the grill for a prolonged period of
time before being cleaned (beach owners must be diligent in maintaining their outdoor
stainless equipment)
5) Dust, or rust, from other metals found it ways onto the grill and was left on for an
extended period of time.
6) Organic matters (such as certain types of food) might have gotten onto the surface of
the grill and it was then covered. With high humidity and low oxygen, corrosion will start
to take place.
7) Sprays and cleaning solutions containing alkaline, lime, acid, salt might have been left on
the grill surface un-dried.
8) No stainless steel polish was ever used after one of the above mentioned acts took place.
Ways to Avoid Rust on your Grill:
2) Always purchase a Coyote Grill cover for your unit. This will ensure that your cover is
correct fit and breathable, while providing the protection needed to keep all other
contaminants off of the surface.
3) When installing the unit, make sure to keep the unit covered when any masonry work is
being performed. If any mortar or dust does come into contact with the stainless, make
sure to wipe it off as soon as possible and use a stainless steel polish immediately
afterwards.
4) Position your grill away from areas that can receive water splash from a pool or hot tub.
5) DO NOT store pool chemicals in your island or island cabinets.
How to Remove Scratches from your Stainless Steel:
If your situation is a little more serious and you have obtained scratches in your equipment,
then you will need to purchase a “stainless steel scratch kit.” These kits are popular in retail
stores but can be easier to obtain online. A very popular one is called “Scratch-B-Gone.” With
11!
these kits, you will not polish the unit until you are done re-scratching the entire product you
are working on. With a scratch kit, the goal is to literally re-scratch the entire surface, so that
the original grains are replaced by your new scratched-in grains. With this practice, you must
be willing to do the entire surface as you will notice a start and stop point. Also, be careful to
pay attention to your rolled or finished edges as these scratch kits will ruin this finish. After
you have used the kit, you will want to follow it up with a good stainless polish (as mentioned
prior) and then a dry towel for a final wipe down.
