Leg Model Assembly Instructions
(For build in model assembly, see instructions
located later in this section)
Step 1
Lay the grill body on it’s back taking care to pro-
tect the fi nish. You may choose to lay the grill on
the pallet for a slightly elevated working surface.
Do not set the grill body on it’s bottom at any time
(this could damage the combustion fan).
Step 2
Install the rear legs to the grill body using the
1/4-20 hex screws, 1/4-20 nuts, and 1/4 washers.
Leave the bolts loose until step 4.
Step 4
Install the front legs to the grill body using the
1/4-20 hex screws, 1/4-20 nuts, and 1/4 washers.
Tighten all 4 legs with a 7/16 wrench. Attach the
lower shelf to the front legs using 1/4-20 button head screws, 1/4-20 nuts, and 1/4 washers.
Tighten the nuts from behind with a 7/16 wrench
while securing bolts with the 5/32 hex key tool
provided.
Step 3
Install the lower shelf to the rear legs using the
1/4-20 button head screws, 1/4-20 nuts, and 1/4
washers. Tighten the nuts from behind with a
7/16 wrench while securing bolts with the 5/32
hex key tool provided.
Step 5
Install the 2 locking casters on the front legs and
the two non-locking casters on the rear legs using
1/2-13 nuts and 1/2 star washers. Tighten with a
3/4 wrench.

Step 7
Peel the plastic fi lm back from around the mount-
ing holes of the side shelves. Install the side
shelves to the grill body using the 1/4-20 hex
screws and 3/16 washers. IMPORTANT: The
side shelf with the cut out for the digital control
box is installed on the left side as you are facing
the grill. Tighten with a 7/16 wrench.
Step 8
From underneath the left shelf, insert the digital
control box face through the cut out and attach
with the 8-32 button head screws using the 5/32
hex key tool. Slip the control cable up through the
keyhole in the back of the shelf. There is a grommet pre-installed onto the control cable that is to
be inserted into the key hole to support and protect the cable. Once the side shelves and control
box is installed, fi nish removing the plastic fi lm.
Step 9
Pull out the grease drawers located on both sides
of the grill. Remove the plastic wrap securing the
foil trays to the drawer. Remove one of the two
trays in each of the drawers and save for future
use. Re-insert the drawer into the grill. They will
click into place and are now ready to collect drippings.
Step 10
From inside the grill, insert the quick grill zone
linkage through the hole on your right and
through the hole in the side shelf. Attach the knob
to the end of the linkage.

Step 11
At this time you may place a small handful of
pellets into the burn pot (see section 3: step 2)
Install the diffuser drip tray. There is a shelf at the
front and back of the grill that the drip tray rests
on. With the quick grill zone linkage pulled out
of the way, set the drip tray in place as shown in
the picture below. It must be inserted below the
quick grill zone slide tracks at the front of the grill
fi rst then below the slide tracks at the back. Once
in place, push the tray all the way to the back of
the grill.
Step 14
Place the 3 cooking grids on the grill and
Congratulations, you are ready to go! You may
also add or remove the upper cooking grid at any
time by keying it into the slots at the back of the
grill. Up to 2 additional upper cooking grids can
be purchased to expand your cooking surface to
nearly 1,000 square inches.
The rest of this section is for installing
the grill into an island. Please proceed

Power Requirement – One 15 Amp GFCI protected outlet is required.
Make-up Combustion Air –A supply of make-up
combustion air opening of 24 sq. inches minimum
(Approximately 4”X 6”) is required for the pellet
burner combustion. This can be anywhere on the
grill cabinet, as long as the air is common to the
grill cavity.
Pellet Dump – The grill is equipped with a pellet
dump tube located at the rear bottom of the grill
body. Access doors into the grill cavity, to catch
the pellets when a different wood fl avor if desired,
is a must. This access will be useful for many
things, such as; electrical, blower service and
storage as well.
Grease Collection Containers – Your grill has
internal grease collection containers located at
the bottom of the grill, coming out of the left and
right side. These will need to be taken into consideration when the access to the grill cabinet is
planned. A well-planned Island/Cabinet design
can simplify access to all the features on your
grill.
Note: the disposable foil grease containers can
easily be changed from the top side by removing
