OPERATIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION

1. The outdoor grill and surrounding area MUST

remain clear of fl ammable substances such as
gasoline, yard debris, wood, etc.

2. The airfl ow through the vent space located below

the control panel must remain unobstructed.

clean the orifi ce and burner/venturi tubes for
insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can
lead to a fi re beneath the grill. A proper fl ame
pattern will ensure safe operation and optimal
performance. Adjust the air shutter as needed
(see AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT).

3. When using propane gas:

fl ame pattern will ensure safe operation and
optimal performance.

4. The fl ames on each burner burn evenly along

the entire burner with a steady fl ame (mostly
blue). If burner fl ames are not normal, check and

WARNING: NEVER cover the entire cooking or grill surface with griddles or pans. Overheating will occur, and

burners will not perform properly when combustion heat is trapped below the cooking surface.

CAUTION: NEVER spray water on a hot gas unit.

7. The backburner or infrared burner cover must

be removed before using the burner.

8. Whenever reconnecting any wires, apply a

small amount of dielectric grease to the male
connector, then make the connection.

Important: When reviewing this units wiring connections; please refer to the wiring diagram

label affi xed to the inside of the control panel.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

This grill requires 120VAC power to operate.

appliance.

Use a grounded electrical extension cord rated for
outdoor use to connect the grill to line power.

WARNING

Electrical Grounding Instructions
For your protection against shock hazard, this
outdoor-cooking gas-appliance is equipped with
a three-pronged (grounding) electrical connector.
This appliance should be connected to a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle using a grounding
extension cord rated for outdoor use. Do not cut or

remove the grounding prong from the connector.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

This grill is designed for outdoor use only. DO NOT use this grill
inside a building, garage, enclosed area, or under an unprotected
overhead combustible construction. See the EXHAUST REMOVAL
section on the following page for details on installing under a patio
roof. DO NOT use this grill in or on a recreational vehicle or boat.

Important: The grill is not insulated. Refer to the information

below to ensure all required clearances are met.

The grill must have a minimum clearance of 18" from
combustible materials/items AT ALL TIMES.

Combustible

Min.

18"

For the minimum clearances between the grill and any side or rear
walls, your setup must fall within one (or more) of the following:

A. Clearance between grill and combustible wall

• The grill must have a minimum of 18" right, left, and rear
clearance from any combustible wall (see Fig. 9-1).

B. Clearance between grill and strictly non-combustible wall

(i.e. brick wall, see Fig. 9-2)

• The grill must have a minimum of 4" right, left, and rear
clearance from any non-combustible wall.
(To allow for proper ventilation and prevent dangerous
overheating.)

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS (cont.)

ntnt

The control panel MUST remain removable for
servicing and air shutter adjustment (see PARTS
LIST).

ENSURING PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND
COOLING AIRFLOW

Proper airfl ow (Fig. 10-1) MUST be maintained for
the grill to perform as it was designed. If airfl ow
is blocked, overheating and poor combustion will
result. Do not block the 1" (2.5 cm) front air inlet
along the bottom of the control panel or more
than 75% of the cooking grid surface with pans
or griddles.

Note: The 1" (2.5 cm) front air space also

allows access to the drip tray.

EXHAUST REMOVAL

If installed or used under a patio roof, the cooking
grid area must be fully covered by an exhaust
hood with a vent. An exhaust fan with a rating of
1,000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) (472 liters per
second) or more may be necessary to effectively
remove smoke and other cooking by-products from
the area under the hood.

CAUTION: Wind blowing into or across the rear

oven lid vent (Fig. 10-2) can cause
poor performance and/or dangerous
overheating. Orient the grill so that the
prevailing wind blows toward the front
of the grill (Fig. 10-3).

GAS SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

For natural gas or a household propane system, rigid

1

/2", or 3/4" black steel pipe, or local code approved

pipe, is required to conduct the gas supply to the
unit. An outdoor approved fl exible connector can
be used to connect your household gas supply to
the grill. DO NOT use a rubber hose within the
enclosure for the grill . Apply only joint compounds
that are resistant to all gasses on all male pipe
fi ttings. Make sure to tighten every joint securely.

GAS SUPPLY AND MANIFOLD PRESSURES:

For natural gas - normal 7" (17.78 cm) water column
(w.c.), minimum 5" (12.7 cm), maximum 10 1/2" (26.7
cm). For propane gas - normal 11" w.c., minimum 10"
(25.4 cm), maximum 13" (33 cm).

REV 8 - 1401220800

Note: If 1/2" pipe is used with natural gas, it

should be no longer than 20'.

An external valve (with a removable key) in the
gas line is necessary for safety when the grill
is not in use. It also provides for convenient
maintenance.

PATIO MOUNT INSTALLATION

PREPARE FOR INSTALLATION

Consult a qualifi ed professional installer.
The fl ex connector can be routed out the back of the

post, under the post base, or inside the post. The power
supply cord is to be routed out the back.

To gain access to the inside of the post, unscrew and
carefully open the access plate on the rear of the post
using a medium Phillips-head screwdriver. Retain the
screws.

A power supply is pre-mounted to the access plate.
For ease of installation, disconnect the power supply
from the wire harness extension. Locate the three wires
coming from the inside of the post to the power supply
and carefully disconnect (see Fig. 11-1 and 11-2).

Important: Pull from the connectors (not the wires).

ROUTE POWER SUPPLY CORD

The power cord will need to be routed through the
access plate for later connection to a GFCI receptacle.

1. Remove the knock-out disc at the bottom left of

the access plate with a large fl athead screwdriver.
(Insert the screwdriver into the notch provided in
the center of the knock-out.)

knock-out hole and snap into place. See Fig. 11-1.

ROUTE FLEX CONNECTOR

The gas supply line will need to be run to the post install
location as appropriate for the desired setup.

To route fl ex connector through rear of post:

1. Remove the knock-out disk at the bottom right of

the access plate with a large fl athead screwdriver.
(Insert the screwdriver into the notch provided in
the center of the knock-out.)

2. Remove the plastic grommet fastened to the inside of

the post and insert it into the newly created opening.
Then route the fl ex connector through the opening.
See Fig. 11-1 and 11-2.

To route fl ex connector beneath post base:
Route the fl ex connector through the hole found beneath

the center of the post base (see Fig. 11-3).
