GRILL 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.

4. The fl ames on each burner burn evenly along

the entire burner with a steady fl ame (mostly
blue with yellow tipping). If burner fl ames are not
normal, check the orifi ce and burner for insects
or insect nests. 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

6. The drip collector holes must be clear and

b. The propane cylinder, regulator, and rubber

hose must be in a location not subject to

result in a grease fi re.

temperature above 125° F (51° C).

7. The backburner or IR burner cover must be

removed before using the burner.

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.

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

OVEN LIGHTS

To turn on the oven lights, open the oven, then push

the button on the far right of the grill control panel
(see SUPPLIED ITEMS list) until it clicks.

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

The lights will automatically turn off when the oven
door is closed and then turn on again when it is
reopened (much like the light in your refrigerator.)
If the lights do not come on, check your electrical

WARNING

connection.

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.

REV 2 - 0810071352

L-C2-28108

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: The grill must have a minimum of 20" (50.7 cm) right, left, and back clearance from unprotected

combustible construction. If installing this grill in a combustible surround, the correct R. H. Peterson
insulating liner must be used.

The control panel MUST remain removable for servicing
(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.

Note: The 1" (2.5 cm)

front air space
also allows
access to the
drip tray.

Fig. 8-1 - Ventilation diagram

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. Fire Magic Vent Hoods

(models 42-VH and 60-VH) are available to meet this
requirement. This grill must not be used under unprotected
overhead combustible construction. THIS UNIT MUST
NOT BE LOCATED IN A FULLY ENCLOSED AREA
OF ANY KIND.

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.

COUNTER PREPARATION

INSTALLING THE BUILT-IN UNIT

CONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY

Consult Table 1 for non-combustible enclosure cut­out dimensions. A Robert H. Peterson insulating
liner must be used if the counter or any supporting
construction is combustible. Consult the instructions
that come with the liner for dimensions and
additional installation information before beginning
the installation.

This outdoor built-in grill must supported by the
stainless-steel hanger extending from the upper
portion of the grill. The hanger rests on the left, right,
and back of the countertop and on the two front
structural supports with attached adjustable screws
located below the control panel on the left and right
sides (see Fig. 9-3).

The control panel is designed to sit fl ush against
the cabinet face (see Fig. 9-2). If the countertop
extends beyond the cabinet face, creating a
countertop overhang (see Fig. 9-1), it must be
cut fl ush with the cabinet face where the for the
width of the control panel or a gap will be created
exposing the forward portions of the left and right
side fi re walls.

Note: It is not necessary to remove the control

panel or knobs to install this unit.

CAUTION: Use only C.S.A. listed stainless-steel

fl ex connectors within the enclosure.

WARNING

A rubber or plastic connector will rupture or
leak, resulting in an explosion or serious injury

if used inside the appliance enclosure.

a. Run the attached fl ex connector routed under

the left side of the grill out of the enclosure and
to the gas stub.

b. Turn OFF the gas supply at the source. Then

connect the

1

/2" pipe adapter fi tting supplied
with the stainless-steel fl ex connector to the
gas-supply stub. 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 fl are fi ttings.

d. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position.

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

e. Close the dedicated gas-supply shut-off valve,

then slide the grill into place. Do not to pinch,
kink, or damage the gas connector line.
