INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

This grill is designed for outdoor use only. DO NOT use this grill under unprotected fl ammable

surfaces. DO NOT use this grill inside a building, garage, enclosed area, or an unprotected covered

area (see EXHAUST REMOVAL below). DO NOT use this grill in or on a recreational vehicle or boat.

IMPORTANT: This grill is NOT insulated, and therefore the unit, when in operation, must be located with

a minimum of 18" (45.7 cm) of side and back clearance from unprotected combustible
materials such as wood, plastic, or stucco with wood framing.

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. 8-1) 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.

YOU MUST PROTECT REAR OVEN

INCORRECT

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

access to the drip tray.

Fig. 8-1 - Ventilation

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.

to meet this requirement.

Fire Magic Vent Hoods are available

This outdoor grill must not

be used under unprotected overhead combustible
construction. THIS UNIT MUST NOT BE LOCATED

IN A FULLY ENCLOSED AREA OF ANY KIND.

CORRECT

PLACE GRILL SO PREVAILING WIND

BLOWS TOWARD FRONT OF GRILL

Fig. 8-3

CAUTION: Wind blowing into or across the rear

oven lid vent (Fig. 8-2) can cause
poor performance and/or dangerous
overheating. Orient the grill so that the
prevailing wind blows toward the front
of the grill (Fig. 8-3).

CAUTION: To prevent dangerous overheating, the

rear of the unit must have a minimum
clearance of 4" (10.2 cm) from any
backsplash/wall.

REV 4 - 1011240757

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

INSTALLING THE STAND-ALONE UNIT

LOCATION PREPARATION

Prepare a fl at, level surface capable of supporting
the weight of the stand-alone grill and convenient to
the gas supply if connecting to a gas line.

WHEELS AND CASTERS

To lock a caster press down on the side of the lever
with the word "OFF" stamped on it until it stops and
the caster will not turn. To unlock, press down on the
side stamped "ON."

INSTALL THE TOOL HOLDER AND
PAPERTOWEL HOLDER

The rectangular mounting bracket for the tool
holder and the paper towel holder come pre­attached to the sides of the cart.

Unpack the holder portion, squeeze the open
ends together slightly, and install them into the
mounting bracket (see Fig. 9-2). Next, release
the hanger so that the ends extend out through
the holes in the top and bottom of the mounting
bracket (Fig. 9-3, 9-4).

Caster in locked position

Fig. 9-1

CONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY

For connecting a propane unit to a portable
propane tank, read the safety warnings and
follow the instructions in the section SAFE USE
AND MAINTENANCE OF PROPANE GAS
CYLINDERS.

When not in use, the racks may be folded back
against the wall of the grill (Fig. 9-3, 9-4).

Fig. 9-2

For household propane or natural gas units:

a. Turn OFF the gas supply at the source. The

quick disconnect hose is pre-installed on the
valve manifold at the manufacturer. Run the
hose through the hole in the bottom rear of the
stand-alone unit, to the gas supply. Connect

1

/2" NPT socket at the end of the hose to

the
the gas supply. Use pipe joint compound that is
resistant to all gasses on the male pipe fi tting
and tighten securely. DO NOT use pipe joint

compound to connect the fl are fi ttings.

c. Turn all burner valves to the OFF position. Turn

the gas supply on. Then carefully check all gas
connections for leaks with a brush and soapy
water before lighting. NEVER USE A MATCH
OR OPEN FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS.
