Maintaining Adequate Ventilation

When building a gas side burner into outdoor cabinetry or an island, it is important to maintain proper ventilation. Ventilation is required to prevent the build-up of gas, which could ultimately lead to improper performance of the gas side burner; damage to the side burner; fire, explosion, or injury to the user. Always make sure that there is proper ventilation and that all flammable materials are placed at least 24 inches away from the side burner on all side.

Be sure to clean the side burner vents of all dirt, debris, insects, and spider webs. Additionally, the side burner functions best when protected from outdoor elements. The side

burner should be placed in a location that does not get direct rainfall. Wind can greatly affect the performance of any gas side burner. Be advised that it can affect the ability of the side burner to maintain a flame. When substantial wind enters the rear exhaust of the side burner, it can create a gas build-up, which poses a fire risk.

Tip: Gather the model and serial number from the product label and write them down before installing the gas side burner(s).

WARNING: Use two more people to move and install the gas side burner. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and glue from your gas side burner before using. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or

glue. These products can damage the surface of your gas side burner.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove any safety, warning, or product information labels from

your gas side burner.

Unpacking the Gas Side Burner

Check the rating label on your side burner to ensure that the fuel source is appropriate for your

application before trying to connect any gas lines.

Types of Installation

This manual covers an EdgeStar gas side burner series that includes models using either a Liquid Propane (LP) or a Natural Gas (NG) fuel source. Select your appropriate fuel type and

follow the relevant installation instructions, as follows. In each case, there must be adequate ventilation and access for service.

Liquid Propane (LP) Installation and Requirements:

 Side burners operated with LP fuel must be installed with the supplied LP regulator.  EdgeStar LP side burners are designed to be used with a standard 20 lb. Department of

Transportation (DOT) approved LP tank. No tanks larger than 20 lbs. are to be used. The tank must be marked in accordance with the latest DOT specification for LP gas tanks: Specifications for LP gas Cylinders (DOT CFR49).

 LP tanks must come with a protective collar to guard the cylinder threads.  The standard fitting connection for LP tanks is 3/8”.  LP tanks must be filled by a qualified professional and must not ever be overfilled.  An Overfill Prevention Device (ODP) must be used at all times.

 This side burner is to be used in residential applications only. Propane tank

pressure should be 11 inches water column.

 When using an LP tank, pressure relief devices and valves shall be in direct contact with

the vapor space of the cylinder when in normal use.

 LP tanks must always be secured and anchored in an upright position when in use. An

LP tank base and retention bolt must be used (not included).

The LP tank base should be fastened securely to the bottom of the island / cabinet using a combination of bolts, washers, and nuts. Ensure that a minimum of 2” of clearance is maintained between the floor and the LP cylinder. Once the LP tank base is secured, place the primary LP tank in place and tighten the retention bolt until the tank is snug.

To Connect the LP Gas Supply:

1. Ensure the 20 lb. LP tank valve is fully closed. To do so, make sure the tank handle is turned all the way clockwise. You should not hear a hissing noise or smell propane.

2. All gas control (burner) knobs must be in the off position.

3. Align the 3/8” brass coupling nut with the LP tank threads; turn the coupling nut clockwise by hand. Note that the fittings have flared ends and do not require any modifications or sealant. Do not overtighten the coupling nut connection as it may cause damage or strip the threading.

4. Open the LP tank valve by turning the handle counterclockwise.

5. Using a soapy water mixture in a spray bottle, check for leaks at all joints and connection points. Bubbles should not form in the soapy water mixture. See the section titled, “Checking for Gas Leaks” in this manual for further instructions and details.

6. Once you have confirmed that all connections are secure and there are no gas leaks, you may proceed with normal use of your side burner. All connection points must be free from gas leaks before first use of the gas side burner.

7. A reminder to always close the LP tank valve [by turning the handle clockwise] when the side burner is not in use.

Using an LP Gas Supply in an Enclosure:

Natural Gas (NG) Installation and Requirements:

 Ensure that the natural gas supply line is fitted with a shut-off valve that can be easily

accessed in the event that shutoff at the source is required.

 Side burners operated with NG fuel must be installed with the NG regulator supplied

with your EdgeStar side burner.

 EdgeStar NG side burners are equipped with an NG regulator set to 4 inches water

column. This regulator is for NG only.

 The standard fitting connector for an NG supply is 1/2”.  Use a quality natural gas flex connector (not included) to mate to the included NG

regulator. CSA, UL, or ETL certified connecting lines are recommended. Stainless steel flex connectors are also recommended.

 The flex connector should be an appropriate length for your setup. Do not use a

connector that is too short and requires you to stretch it too far to make the connection.

 Flex connectors should come with a standard ½” connection for NG fittings.  Flex connectors should be placed carefully in a location where they are not at risk of

being cut, punctured, or kinked.

 Yellow Teflon pipe thread sealant (PTFE tape) is recommended for use on all pipe

thread connections with the exception of flared threads, which will have a secure connection.

To Connect the NG Gas Supply:

1. Ensure the NG shut-off valve is fully closed. You should not hear a hissing noise or smell natural gas.

2. All gas control (burner) knobs must be in the off position.

3. Fasten the ½” flex connector – already installed to the NG supply shut-off valve – to the included NG regulator. Use Yellow Teflon pipe thread sealant (PTFE tape) for nonflared connections. No sealant is required for flared connections. Do not overtighten the regulator connection as it may cause damage or strip the threading.

4. Open the NG shut-off valve.

7. A reminder to always close the shut-off valve when the side burner is not in use.

WARNING: Do not test for gas leaks with an open flame. When testing for leaks, make

sure all gas control knobs are in the off position.

Checking for Gas Leaks

At least once every six months, and any time a tank is disconnected and reconnected, perform a leak test. Additionally, any time any components including the gas supply lines or the regulator are replaced, perform a leak test. Never use the side burner without testing for gas leaks first.

To perform the leak test:

 Create a mixture of soapy water that is one part soap to one part water. Place the

solution in a spray bottle.

 Turn the gas on – again, ensuring that the gas control knobs of your side burner are off.

 On Natural Gas (NG) systems, turn the on the gas supply’s main feed valve and

make sure the shut-off valve is open.

 On Liquid Propane (LP) systems, turn the cylinder knob counterclockwise to

open.

 Spray the soapy water mixture on the joints of the gas delivery system. If you see

blowing bubbles, there is a leak present, which needs to be fixed prior to operating your side burner.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD!

 Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.  Never remove the grounding prong from the plug.  Never use an adapter to bypass the grounding prong.  DO NOT use an extension cord.  Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electrical shock, or death.

Electrical Requirements

Before you install your gas grill into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection. A standard electrical supply (115V AC, 60Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required. Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure whether or not your electrical connection

is properly grounded.

The fuse (or circuit breaker) size must be 15 Amps. It should be a GFI breaker suitable for outdoor use. It is recommended that a separate circuit be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

If permitted by national and local codes, and the installation requires a separate ground wire, a qualified electrician must determine the appropriate ground path.

In addition to the above, always observe the below warnings:

 To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord or plugs in water or other liquid.  Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting

on or taking off parts.

 Do not operate any outdoor cooking gas appliance with a damaged cord, damaged

plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact EdgeStar for repair.

 Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.  Do not use an outdoor cooking gas appliance for purposes other than intended.  When connecting, first connect the plug to the outdoor cooking gas appliance. Then,

plug the appliance into the outlet.

 Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) protected circuit with this outdoor cooking gas

appliance.

 Use extension cords with a 3-prong grounding plug rated for the power of the equipment

and approved for outdoor use with a “W-A” marking.

Recommended Grounding Method

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-pronged wall socket, and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall socket is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

Disconnect the electrical components from the power supply by removing the power plug from the wall socket.

Plugging in the Lights

This EdgeStar series of gas side burner includes stylish and functional backlighting for the knobs and switches. These lights require a 120V AC power supply to function. Please review the electrical requirements in this manual carefully.

 Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.  Never unplug the unit by pulling on the plug.

Included Cooking Components

Before using the EdgeStar gas side burner for the first time, be sure to thoroughly wash [by hand] the included cooking griddle under hot water with soap. Do not wash in your

dishwasher. Allow it to dry before reinstalling in the side burner.

Operation

For an optimal grilling experience, this EdgeStar series of gas side burners includes a combination of infrared burners and cast burners, referred to hereafter as “main burner(s).” Additionally, this EdgeStar side burner series comes standard with a rotisserie burner. Instructions for using these burners are in the following sections.

Checking the Igniter

With gas turned off at the source, and with each of the burner control knobs in the “OFF” position, you can check to see that the igniter is working properly. Push the burner knob in fully

and turn it counterclockwise a quarter turn to the “HIGH” position. You should see a blue spark

at the end of the igniter pin. If you have a two burner side burner, repeat for the other burner.

Once you confirm that the igniters work, turn the control knobs clockwise back to the “OFF”

position.

Important: You must always have the side burner lid removed when lighting the gas side burner. Otherwise, you risk build-up of gas and possible fire or explosion.

Important: To avoid risk of injury, always keep your face and body as far away as possible from the side burner when lighting. As you proceed to operate the side burner, note that surfaces may be hot and pose a burn hazard. Take care around the side burner and make sure to never leave it unattended. Children should not operate the side burner.

Important: Once the burner(s) are lit, leave them on the “HIGH” setting for five minutes before cooking anything. This will allow the side burner to preheat and burn off any foreign matters or food objects left on the side burner.

Lighting the Burner(s)

1. Make sure you have observed all safety warnings in this manual. Follow the instructions for connecting the gas supply. NEVER turn on the side burner without testing for leaks first. Keep all body parts as far away from the side burner as possible. Never smoke while lighting the side burner.

2. Remove the lid and place to the side.

3. With all gas control (burner) knobs in the “OFF” position, open the gas supply.

4. For each burner you wish to operate, push the gas control (burner) knob in, and rotate

counterclockwise a quarter turn to the “HIGH” position marking on the knob. Turn the

knob slowly so as to allow enough gas to reside in the lines to successfully ignite the burner.

5. The burner should ignite. Repeat for the other burner, if applicable.

6. Allow burners to run on “HIGH” for a few minutes so they can burn off extra gas and residue. Then, proceed to adjust the burner knobs to your desired cooking temperature.

7. Once you are done using the side burner, push the burner knob(s) in, and rotate

clockwise to the “OFF” position. You may hear a popping sound when the burners are

turned off, which is normal.

8. Immediately turn off your gas supply.

If a burner fails to light:

1. If a burner does not light on the first try, repeat immediately. On your second attempt, if the burner does not light within five (5) seconds, turn the burner knob(s) completely off. Do not try again for a minimum of five (5) minutes as the gas dissipates.

2. After five (5) minutes, you may proceed to try to light the burner again using the procedures outlined above.

3. Once you successfully light the first burner, you may proceed to light the other burner(s), as needed.

4. If, after a few rounds of trying to light the burner, the burner still does not light turn all knobs to the “OFF” position and cut the gas supply at its source.

5. Inspect for proper setup and look for any obstructions to the gas supply that may be causing the issue. Additionally, inspect the burner ports for any blockages.

“Flashback” may occur in or around the burner tubes. Flashback is commonly recognized by a

“whooshing” sound. It this occurs, immediately turn off all burners and shut off the gas supply

to the side burner. Allow grilling components to cool fully before handling them. Remove the burners and brush them with a soapy water mixture to rid them of all foreign materials, dirt, debris, and food waste. Only reinstall them after they have been thoroughly cleaned. To mitigate flashback, clean the burners monthly and any time you use the side burner after an extended period of time.

Tip: If you have never used the side burner before, or have not used the side burner for an extended period of time, it may take multiple attempts to light the burner(s).

Manually Lighting the Burner(s)

1. Make sure you have observed all safety warnings in this manual. Follow the instructions for connecting the gas supply. NEVER turn on the grill without testing for leaks first. Keep all body parts as far away from the side burner as possible. Do not lean over the grill.

2. Follow steps 1-4 in the “Lighting the Burner(s)” section of the previous page.

3. Remove the griddle.

4. You may then use a long fireplace-style of match to manually light the burners. Place the flame near the burner ports and the burner should light immediately. Make sure to keep all body parts as far away from the side burner as possible during the process.

5. Replace the griddle and adjust the burner(s) to your desired cooking temperature.

Flare-Ups

Flare-ups can occur when fats and oils drip from the contents being grilled down onto the burners. Flare-ups can be a good thing, imparting a fire/smoke-infused flavor into the contents being grilled. However, if flare-ups become excessive, turn the gas to a lower setting.

Caution:

 Do not leave the side burner unattended while it is in use.  Do not attempt to move the side burner while it is in use.  Do not disconnect the gas supply while the side burner is in use.  Turn the gas supply off after you are done using the side burner.  If you are unable to manually light your burners after several attempts, turn off

the gas and contact EdgeStar service or an authorized technician.

Caution:

 If a grease fire occurs, do NOT use water to attempt to put it out. Turn all burners

off and close the lid. If the fire persists, use an ABC extinguisher.

 If the burners go out during operation, turn off all burner knobs and shut the gas

valve at its source. Keep the lid open for at least five minutes with the gas supply off before attempting to re-light the burners. Do not touch the cooking grates or any internal parts of the side burner as they may burn you.

Important: If you have tried lighting your burners to no avail, wait at least five (5) minutes before manually lighting the burners. Leave the lid off of the side burner to allow gas to dissipate to avoid a possible hazard.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life.

Additionally, proper preventive maintenance is required for your own safety.

 Use a pipe cleaner or wire to clear any blockages in the tubes that lead into the

burner(s). Examples of blockages include food grease, outdoor debris, and residue from

insects.

 Keep your outdoor grill and side burner area clear and free from combustible materials,

gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

 Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep all objects away from

vents.

Cleaning the Burner(s)

1. After ensuring that the gas is shut off and the burner is cool to handle, remove the burner

from the firebox. First, make sure to disconnect the ignition wires.

Caution: Always ensure that the gas supply is fully turned off prior to performing any cleaning and maintenance on your side burner. All burner knobs should also be in the “OFF” position. Never attempt to clean parts of the side burner while they are still hot.

Tip: After every use of your side burner, once you are done, turn the burners to the HIGH setting for up to five (5) minutes to burn off food residue, drippings, and grease. Do NOT leave the burners on for more than five minutes and do not leave the side burner unattended during this time.

Caution:

 For proper functionality, use pots that are between 4-3/4” and 8-3/4” in diameter.  Allow the side burner to heat up to appropriate temperatures before attempting

to cook foods, particularly those that are unsafe to consume unless they reach a minimum internal temperature.

WARNING:

 Do not line the drip tray with aluminum foil as this poses a fire risk.

2. Use a bristled brush and run it through the orifices of the burner several times.

3. Go over the exterior of the burner with a wire brush several times to loosen debris and residue. You may also wipe it with a terry cloth or damp rag without using any chemicals.

For stubborn scale, you may use a scraper.

4. Look at all burner ports (the small openings) and run a pipe cleaner or thin wire through

them.

5. Analyze the burner for corrosion and any damage caused by corrosion.

Reinstalling the Burner(s)

1. Ensure that the gas is shut off prior to attempting to reinstall each burner.

2. Carefully reinstall the burner back into the firebox.

3. Check that the burner is firmly in place in its proper location after replacing. Make sure the tubes on the bottom of the burner are inside the venturi tube opening (see below). These tubes MUST be seated inside the venturi tube opening; if not, gas will escape and there is a risk for fire or explosion.

4. Reconnect the ignition wires.

Cleaning the Cooking Griddle

After using the side burner, turn the burner knob(s) off and cut the gas at its source. Once the side burner and griddles have cooled down, remove the griddle and clean it with a soap and water mixture. You may use a terry cloth to wipe down the cooking griddle. Reinstall once the griddle is fully dry and cover with the side burner lid.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

The removable drip tray will collect grease as you use your side burner. Inspect the drip tray frequently to ensure that grease and debris do not build up. The drip tray can be wiped with a warm soapy water mixture and a terry cloth. Use a wire brush, if necessary, to loosen

hardened grease.

Exterior Cleaning

The stainless steel side burner exterior may be cleaned with a mild detergent and lukewarm water solution such as two tablespoons of baking soda to one quart of water.

Do not use solvent based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft clean towel to prevent water spotting. Stainless steel can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas and moisture. Clean stainless steel with a cloth dampened with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Never use an abrasive or caustic cleaning agent. Maintenance of your stainless steel side burner is important to extend the life of your side burner. Stainless steel can and will rust and corrode if not cleaned properly and regularly.

Warning: Grease build-up poses a fire hazard. Clean the drip tray regularly.

Caring for Stainless Steel

Side burners near swimming pools, high humidity areas, and coastal areas are particularly susceptible to stainless steel rusting. Moisture, high heat, salt / salt water, and chlorine in particular can cause damage. Your EdgeStar side burner is constructed using high quality stainless steel, but take extra precautions to maintain the quality aesthetic and well-being of your side burner. Additional steps for caring for your stainless steel side burner are below:

 Clean up all grease spills and foreign materials that adhere to your side burner as soon

as possible.

 If using household cleaners made specifically for stainless steel, take care to wipe in the

same direction as the graining / brushing of the stainless steel.

 When cleaning the area around your side burner – floors, cabinetry, other appliances –

take care to protect your side burner when using other abrasive cleaning materials and sealants. Do not let these materials come into contact with your side burner. If they do, clean them immediately with a warm soapy water mixture.

 If possible, use a cover designed for side burners to shelter your side burner from the

elements. However, make sure the side burner is not still hot or wet before covering the side burner.
