COUNTERTOP OVERHANG

The control panel is designed to sit fl ush against the enclosure front wall. If the non-combustible 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.

the control panel must remain unobstructed.

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).

3. When using propane gas:

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

C).

7. The backburner or IR burner cover must be

removed before using the burner.

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

8. Whenever reconnecting any wires, apply a

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

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. 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 on the inside of the control panel.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

This grill requires 120VAC power to operate.

Plug the power supply cord into a properly wired
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.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Installation must be performed by a qualifi ed professional service
technician.

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 below and the EXHAUST REMOVAL section on the following
page for details on installing under overhead construction.

DO NOT use this grill in or on a recreational vehicle or boat.
Important: If installing this grill in a combustible surround, the correct

RHP insulating liner must be used.

Important: 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.

Overhead Construction Requirements (if applicable)

Non-combustible overhead construction: A 6 foot clearance is required
between the countertop and the construction above (Fig. 10-1).

Combustible overhead construction: A 6 foot clearance is required
between the countertop and the construction above. A vent hood
(see EXHAUST REMOVAL section) or an RHP combustible overhead
protection kit is required directly above the grill. See Fig. 10-1. RHP

vent hoods and protection kits are available, contact your local
dealer.

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. 10-2)

• 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.)

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. 10-3)

• 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"
clearance between the grill and protected wall.)

C. 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. 10-4).

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS (Cont.)

The control panel MUST remain removable for servicing
(see PARTS LIST).

ENSURE PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND
COOLING AIRFLOW

Proper airfl ow (Fig. 11-1) 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

Fig. 11-1 - Ventilation diagram

If the grill is installed under an overhead structure that is
constructed of non-combustible material: an exhaust hood
is recommended. See below.

If the grill is installed under an overhead structure that is
constructed of combustible material: an exhaust hood is
required. See below.

GAS-SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

For natural gas or a household propane system, rigid

1

/2"
(1.3 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) black steel pipe or local code­approved pipe is required to conduct the gas supply to
the unit. Contact your local gas supplier. Connect this
pipe to the required C.S.A.-approved stainless-steel fl ex
connector (attached). An NPT adapter has been provided

1

for

/2" pipe. DO NOT use a rubber hose within the grill

enclosure. Apply only joint compounds that are resistant
to all gasses to all male pipe fi ttings except fl are fi ttings.
Make sure to tighten every joint securely.

Note: If

1

/2" (1.3 cm) pipe is used with natural gas,

it should be no longer than 20' (6.1 meters).

Important: 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.

this way.

Note: An alternative to an exhaust removing vent

hood is an RHP combustible overhead
protection kit. See previous page.

When using an exhaust hood:

The cooking grid area must be covered by an exhaust
hood (with a vent) larger than the cooking surface. Refer
to manufacturer specifi cations. 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. RHP Vent Hoods are available,

contact your local dealer.
THIS UNIT MUST NOT BE LOCATED IN A FULLY

ENCLOSED AREA OF ANY KIND.
