COUNTERTOP OVERHANG

The control panel is designed to sit fl ush against the enclosure front wall. If the enclosure countertop extends beyond
the front wall, creating a countertop overhang, it must be cut fl ush with the front wall for the width of the control panel
or a gap will be created exposing the forward portions of the left and right side grill fi re walls. See illustrations above.

Important: FOR YOUR SAFETY, you must provide openings in the island enclosure for drainage, replacement

air, and cross-ventilation of any storage area exposed to possible leakage from gas connections, the
unit, or propane bottles. See the ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS section for details.

GRILL MAINTENANCE AND 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.

3. When using propane gas:
a. The required ventilation openings in the

enclosure must be clear of debris.

b. The propane cylinder, regulator, and

rubber hose must be in a location not
subject to temperature above 125° F (51°
C).

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 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).

5. The in-line gas valve or gas cylinder valve must

always be shut OFF when the grill is not in use.

6. The drip collector holes must be clear and

unobstructed. Excessive grease deposits can
result in a grease fi re.

7. The backburner or IR 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.

9. All surfaces of the unit become HOT during

use. Exercise caution when using this unit,
especially when adding charcoal or cranking
the charcoal pan up or down.

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.

The grill serial identifi cation number is located on the underside of the drip tray handle (gas grill

side). It is recommended that the drip tray fi rst be removed and cleaned / emptied of its contents,

then turned over to view. The unit rating label is located inside the control panel.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
This grill requires 120VAC power to operate.

LIGHT SWITCH

The light switch is push button operated, and is
located on the right side of the control panel (see

Plug the power supply cord into a properly wired

Fig. 9-1). It controls the power to all lights.

and inspected GFCI electrical receptacle (15 AMP
minimum). Use a heavy-duty grounded extension
cord if necessary.

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.

Important: ONLY REPLACE THE OVEN LIGHTS

WITH 12V / 10 WATT HALOGEN BULB(S).

Side and Rear Wall Clearances

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 strictly non-combustible wall

(i.e. brick wall, see Fig. 10-1)

• 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.)

B. Clearance between grill and a protected combustible wall

(i.e. a non-combustible wall in front of a combustible wall to
serve as a barrier. This can be accomplished by brick, or
a metal stud fi nished with non-combustible substrate, see
Fig. 10-2)

• The grill must have a minimum of 14" right, left, and rear
clearance from the protected combustible wall.
(The 4" non-combustible material plus an additional 10"
