IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. The LazyMan Elite and Open Hearth Series grills arrive nearly fully assembled and require only minor
assembly steps. Assure that ALL packaging materials have been removed before attempting to light the
appliance. This includes removing all shipping tie wraps, zip ties and cardboard. Remove the cooking
grates and look for ALL internal packaging materials INSIDE the grill. Last, peel off all protective vinyl
coating from ALL exterior and interior surfaces on the appliance.
2. Avoid wearing loose fitting clothing or long sleeves while cooking. They could ignite.
3. Never leave the appliance unattended while cooking.
4. Never touch the grill racks or surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands while cooking. These
surfaces will be HOT.
5. The use of an insulated glove or mitt is recommended while cooking.
6. The stainless steel cover MUST BE removed before attempting to light the grill, as an explosion could
occur. Do not lean over the appliance when lighting.
7. Do not heat unopened food containers on the appliance, as, pressure will build up and the container
can explode.
8. Do not use aluminum foil on the grill racks. This will prevent proper ventilation and allow excessive
heat to build inside the grill. Such heat can damage components of the grill.
9. Never remove the drip pan while cooking. Always assure that it is pushed all the way in. Hot overflow
can leak downward and produce a fire or explosion. The drip pan should be cleaned on a regular basis
when the appliance is cold.
10. If burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn gas off and wait 5 minutes before attempting to re-light.
If any burner goes out during operation, turn burner off and check for adequate fuel. Wait 5 minutes
before attempting to re-light.
11. When using portable LP gas cylinders, always turn off the main valve on the cylinder after each use.
12. Use caution when operating the appliance in windy conditions. Wind can enter from the back or sides
and interrupt air flow. This can cause an overheating condition and damage the appliance and its
components.
13. This grill has been made with the finest materials available and, as a result, this grill is HEAVY. Always
use caution when moving or installing this product. Failure to follow this instruction can result in back
or other personal injuries.

Installation Method #1 for the Open Hearth Series grills uses a rear gas pipe exit point into the masonry island. The
masonry should be laid so that there is horizontal notch running from front to back on the gas side, and partially back on
the non-gas side. This product is shipped with the gas side on the left and the ‘stubbed’ side on the right. This notch
should measure 1-1/2” wide by 3-1/2” high and be located at the bottom of the main cutout. On the ‘stubbed’ side of
the gas line, the notch needs only to be 2” back from the front. Reverse the notches and hole location if it is desired to
change the gas input line from the left side to the right side. With this installation method, the grill in inserted into place
from the FRONT. After the grill is in place and connected, the front portion of the notch can be covered with a cover
stone as shown in the above diagram.

Installation Method #2 for the Open Hearth Series grills uses a front/vertical gas pipe exit point into the masonry island.
The masonry should be laid so that there is a vertical notch running from top to bottom on both sides of the cutout. A
hole is created at the bottom of the cutout for the gas line exit. This product is shipped with the gas side on the left and
the ‘stubbed’ side on the right. The gas exit side can be changed to the right side by simply reversing the fittings. This
notch should measure 1-1/2” x 1-1/2” and run vertically on the entire height of the cutout on both front edges. With this
installation method, the grill is inserted into place from the TOP down. After the grill is in place and connected, the front
portion of the notch can be covered with a cover stones as shown in the above diagram.

OPEN HEARTH SERIES ISLAND INSTALLATION
Elbow Turned Toward Rear
NOTE: Use this INSTALLATION section in conjunction with the following ‘GAS CONNECTIONS’ section of this manual to
assure that all gas considerations have been made before installing your grill.
INSTALLATION METHOD #1- USING NG GAS: After the island has been constructed and built per the previous cutout
recommendations and guidelines (method #1), it’s now time to install the LazyMan ATS Series Open Hearth grill into the
island. The above diagram shows a typical Natural Gas installation where the gas piping is routed through the back of
the island and externally to the gas source. This routing can also be accomplished internally (inside the island) if the
island is constructed with a hollow design and there is space between the back wall of the cutout and the back wall of
the island. This grill is shipped with a 1/2 NPT Elbow (female) fitting at the end of the gas manifold for both NG and LP
hose connections.
For this installation method, carefully rotate this elbow (using a pipe wrench) toward the rear facing straight back.
4
This grill is also shipped with an NG regulator (for natural gas grills) and an LP regulator with hose for grills set up for
liquid propane. NOTE: If you have a grill set up for NG gas type, and it is equipped with a 3/8 NPT Elbow, then a 3/8 male
to 1/2 female straight conversion fitting will be required. A 1/2 NPT female elbow can also be used to replace the
existing elbow.
It is highly recommended that a qualified plumber or gas technician make this installation and perform the gas hookup procedure.
1. Using two or more people, carefully lift the grill onto the island TOP surface next to the cutout. Align the grill
front to back. Measure the distance from the front gas exit point of the manifold (elbow) to the back of the
island. You will need a ½” pipe with ½” NPT male threads at both ends that match this distance plus 2”. This
pipe is called a ‘nipple’. Nipples come pre-threaded at both ends and are available in a variety of different
lengths.
2. Use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape (to seal the threads) FOR ALL PIPE CONNECTIONS and install this
first pipe into the elbow at the front of the grill.
3. Using two or more people, carefully lift the grill into the island cutout and slide the grill toward the back of
the cutout. Allow the newly installed pipe to slide through the pre-cut hole or opening and through the back
wall of the island. Slide the grill all the way in so that the front of the grill is flush with the front of the island.
4. Make your first connection using a ½” NPT female elbow. Point this elbow downward if the main gas supply
is near the ground. If the main gas supply is in a location other than the ground, point the elbow in that
direction.
5. Install a short nipple into the open end of the elbow and install the supplied NG regulator at the end of this
nipple. Make sure the regulator is installed so the arrow (marked on the regulator) is pointing to the grill,
i.e., in the direction the gas will be flowing.
6. Measure the distance from the open end of the regulator to the ground and subtract 8” from this
measurement to allow for the next 3 connections. This will be the length of your next nipple.
7. Install this nipple to the regulator and at the other end, install a ½” NPT female ‘Tee’ connection. The third
(downward) leg of the ‘Tee’ is used to install a 3” minimum length ‘Drip Leg’ with cap. This leg is required in
many states and is used for periodic moisture relief. Check your local codes. This complete pipe routing
should now be resting 1-2 inches above the ground.
8. Install the next nipple into the center opening of the ‘Tee’ and run this connection to the gas source.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the gas source does not have a gas shut-off valve, then a new ½” quarter turn valve
MUST be installed between the last gas pipe and the existing gas source. This gas valve should be installed
by a qualified plumber or gas technician. See the next step.
9. If the gas source is a stubbed gas pipe coming from the side of the house or exit point, then THE GAS MUST
BE TURNED OFF AT THE METER. A new quarter turn gas valve must be installed, either at the gas source or
inline from the gas source in a convenient location.
10. Use the ‘Leak Test Procedure’ found in the ‘FINAL CHECKS’ section of this manual to check all gas
connections prior to operation of this grill.
INSTALLATION METHOD #1- USING LP GAS (LIQUID PROPANE-BOTTLE)- when using bottled LP, then use the LP
regulator and hose equipped with the LP grill. The installation should begin the same as an NG installation where a ½
NPT pipe (threaded at both ends) is routed from the gas exit elbow at the front of the grill through the rear of the island.
A second ½ NPT elbow is also added at the rear pointing downward and outside of the island rear wall. At this point, the
hard piping is complete. Connect the LP hose end directly to this elbow. Use the above diagram for routing the hose to
the newly installed elbow. As previously mentioned, if the island is constructed in a ‘hollow’ manner, and there is a
hollow space between the back of the cutout and the back of the island, then the hard piping can be routed downward
into the island interior. This piping can terminate with either a ½ NPT female elbow or a ½ NPT straight coupler. The LP
hose can then be attached directly to the ½ elbow or coupler. Always assure that the LP hose is completely visible and
accessible inside the island.
5
1. Use 2 or more people and carefully lift the grill onto the island top surface.
2. Follow steps #1 through #4 of the NG piping installation. This portion of the installation completes the hard
piping requirements and routes the piping through the island and out the back. This piping terminates with a
½ NPT elbow mounted outside of the rear of the island.
3. Connect the fitting at the end of the LP hose directly to the elbow at the rear of the island. Use pipe joint
compound or Teflon tape on the fitting before installing.
4. Use the ‘Leak Test Procedure’ found in the ‘FINAL CHECKS’ section of this manual to check all gas
connections after attaching the LP tank.
INSTALLATION METHOD #1- USING LP (LIQUID PROPANE) BULK TANK- If you have ordered a grill configured for LP
(Liquid Propane), then you have received an LP regulator and hose with your grill. If you plan to attach the grill directly
to a bulk propane tank, then you cannot use the supplied hose. You must obtain a regulator from LazyMan Inc. Please
order P/N 10099. This is a regulator which converts from NG to LP. Please use the instructions that come with the
regulator for this conversion. Follow the same connection pattern shown above for NG connections.
NOTE: Use this INSTALLATION section in conjunction with the following ‘GAS CONNECTIONS’ section of this manual to
assure that all gas considerations have been made before installing your grill.
6
INSTALLATION METHOD #2- USING NG GAS: After the island has been constructed and built per the previous cutout
Elbow Turned Straight Down
recommendations and guidelines (method #2), it’s now time to install the LazyMan ATS Series Open Hearth grill into the
island. If the gas piping is to be run INTERNALLY ((inside the island) then there must be hollow space below the grill for
the gas pipe routing. The above diagram shows a typical Natural Gas installation where the gas piping is routed
downward, through island and to the gas source. This routing can also be accomplished both internally and externally by
routing the initial connection downward and then immediately routing the piping through the island rear or side wall of
the island. In this instance, additional fittings will be needed and the gas regulator and gas shut-off valve is mounted
outside of the island structure. This grill is shipped with a 1/2 NPT Elbow (female) fitting at the end of the gas manifold
for both NG and LP hose connections. For this installation method, carefully rotate this elbow (using a pipe wrench)
downward so that the open end is facing the ground or bottom of the island.
This grill is also shipped with an NG regulator (for natural gas grills) and an LP regulator with hose for grills set up for
liquid propane. NOTE: If you have a grill set up for NG gas type, and it is equipped with a 3/8 NPT Elbow, then a 3/8 NPT
male to 1/2 NPT female straight conversion fitting will be required. A 1/2 NPT female elbow can also be used to replace
the existing elbow.
It is highly recommended that a qualified plumber or gas technician make this installation and perform the gas hookup procedure.
1. Measure the distance from the front gas exit point of the manifold (elbow) to the inside bottom of the
island. This is the TOTAL space you have to work with. Also measure the distance from the bottom of the
cutout to the open space below it. Add 2” to this length. This will be the length of your first pipe. All piping
should be 1/2 “ (I.D.) with 1/2” NPT male threads at both ends. This pipe is called a ‘nipple’. Nipples come
pre-threaded at both ends and are available in a variety of different lengths.
2. Use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape (to seal the threads) FOR ALL PIPE CONNECTIONS and install this
first pipe into the elbow at the front of the grill.
3. Using two or more people, carefully lift the grill into the island cutout FROM THE TOP DOWN and allow the
newly installed pipe to slide through the pre-cut hole or opening in the bottom of the cutout. Position the
grill so that the front of the grill is flush with the front of the island.
4. Install the NG regulator to the end of this first pipe. Make sure the regulator is installed so the arrow
(marked on the regulator) is pointing to the grill, i.e., in the direction the gas will be flowing.
5. Measure the distance from the open end of the regulator to the bottom of the island and subtract 8” from
this measurement to allow for the next 3 connections. This will be the length of your next nipple.
6. Install this nipple to the regulator and at the other end, install a ½” NPT female ‘Tee’ connection. The third
(downward) leg of the ‘Tee’ is used to install a 3” minimum length ‘Drip Leg’ with cap. This leg is required in
many states and is used for periodic moisture relief. Check your local codes. This complete pipe routing
should now be resting 1-2 inches above the inside bottom of the island. It is best to create a small hole
directly below this ‘Drip Leg’ in the bottom of the island. This will allow for moisture run-off, through the
island bottom, when the drip leg cap needs to be removed for moisture relief.
7. Install the next nipple into the center opening of the ‘Tee’ and run this connection to the gas source.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the gas source does not have a gas shut-off valve, then a new ½” quarter turn valve
MUST be installed between the last gas pipe and the existing gas source. This gas valve should be installed
by a qualified plumber or gas technician. See the next step.
7
8. If the gas source is a stubbed gas pipe coming from the side of the house or exit point, then THE GAS MUST BE
TURNED OFF AT THE METER. A new quarter turn gas valve must be installed, either at the gas source or inline
from the gas source in a convenient location.
9. Use the ‘Leak Test Procedure’ found in the ‘FINAL CHECKS’ section of this manual to check all gas connections
prior to operation of this grill.
INSTALLATION METHOD #2- USING LP GAS (LIQUID PROPANE-BOTTLE)- when using bottled LP, then use the LP regulator and
hose equipped with the LP grill. The installation should begin the same as an NG installation where a ½ NPT pipe (threaded at
both ends) is routed from the gas exit elbow at the front of the grill through the hole or opening in the bottom of the island
cutout. Use the above diagram for routing this hard piping from the grill. A ½ NPT female elbow or ½ NPT straight coupler is
then added to the end of this pipe. The LP hose can now be attached directly to the ½ elbow or coupler. Always assure that
the LP hose is completely visible and accessible inside the island.
Route this hose directly to the propane tank. In the above illustration, the propane tank would be resting on the floor INSIDE
the island. For this installation method, carefully rotate the elbow (using a pipe wrench) downward so that the open end is
facing the ground or bottom of the island.
1. Use 2 or more people and lift the grill into place.
2. Follow steps #1 through #3 of the NG piping installation.
3. At the end of the ½ NPT pipe, install a ½ NPT female elbow (instead of the ‘Tee’ fitting). A ½ NPT straight coupler
can also be used. This now completes the hard piping requirements for LP applications.
4. Connect the fitting at the end of the LP hose directly to the newly installed elbow or coupler. Use pipe joint
compound or Teflon tape on the fitting before installing.
5. Use the ‘Leak Test Procedure’ found in the ‘FINAL CHECKS’ section of this manual to check all gas connections
after attaching the LP tank.
INSTALLATION METHOD #2- USING LP (LIQUID PROPANE) BULK TANK- If you have ordered a grill configured for LP (Liquid
Propane), then you have received an LP regulator and hose with your grill. If you plan to attach the grill directly to a bulk
propane tank, then you cannot use the supplied hose. You must obtain a regulator from LazyMan Inc. Please order P/N 10099.
This is a regulator which converts from NG to LP. Please use the instructions that come with the regulator for this conversion.
Follow the same connection pattern shown above for NG connections.
ALL ISLAND INSTALLATIONS-ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Neither the Open Hearth Grills nor the Elite Series Grills require electricity for their basic operation. However, if the optional
hood and rotisserie system is being used, then a 120V, 60 Hertz, 15 Amp, outdoor GFI outlet should be installed near the rear
of the island within 30” from the edge of the grill cutout (rotisserie motor location). The rear vertical wall of the island, if
present, is the ideal location. It is always practical to include one or more of these outlets when planning an island installation.
FREESTANDING (ELITE) GRILL CONSIDERATIONS
Because of their mobility, freestanding grills are more versatile since they can be moved to various locations for convenience
and accessibility. Here are a few points to consider when selecting a location:
1. Locate the grill in an open air environment. Do not locate under a breezeway, or inside a garage, building, or shed.
Proper distance to combustibles must be maintained at all times (12” to sides, front, and back). Do not locate this grill
under any combustible, overhead construction.
2. Select a location where prevailing winds come from either side of the grill or from the front. If your grill is equipped
with an optional hood, do not face the back of the grill toward oncoming winds. When grilling with the hood closed,
winds can enter from the back, disrupt air flow, and cause overheating. Damage caused is not covered under warranty.
3. Position the grill within 30” of an outdoor 120V electrical outlet for the optional rotisserie operation. If this is not
possible, then position grill such that when using an outdoor extension cord, the cord does not lay in a high traffic
area. This cord can create a trip hazard. The cord can be ‘taped’ to the ground securely to prevent any such hazard. If
the freestanding grill is using Natural Gas (NG), position the grill in the vicinity of a gas outlet/valve to minimize the
amount of piping required to hook up the grill.
