or other liquids.
7)
Insure that the gas supply hose is free of kinks and at least 3” away from hot surfaces.
8)
Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
Never store additional or empty propane cylinders in the grill cabinet or around the grill. Do not
9)
store propane cylinders indoors or on their sides.
10)
Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill racks. This will change combustion airflow or trap
excessive heat in the control area. This can result in melted knobs and melted igniters.
11)
Whenever the grill burners have been removed, follow the installation instructions.
12)
Avoid wearing long sleeves or loose-fitting garments while using the grill. Never touch the grill racks,
hood or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands as these areas become
extremely hot during use and could cause burns. Use an insulated glove or mitt when opening and
operating the grill. Open grill lid slowly to allow heat and smoke to escape before fully opening.
Never lean over hot grill surface or look directly into the grill when attempting to light.

Perform leak tests outdoors only. Never use flame or fire to do a leak test.
PAGE 5
LOCATING THE GRILL
LOCATION:
Select a suitable location for your grill by avoiding traffic paths and exposure to wind. Keep all
gas supply lines as short as possible. Do not locate the grill in a shed, the garage of a building,
storage, or other enclosed areas. To assure the unit is level front-to-back and side-to-side, use a
"spirit level". If the unit is not level the burner combustion may be erratic and the unit may not
function efficiently. If the floor is uneven or there is a slope, you may need to re-level the unit
after each moving of the unit.
FOR BUILT -IN INSTALLATIONS:
The Luxor Built-In model is designed for installation in a masonry or a non combustible enclosure.
The grill drops into the opening, and hangs from its counter top trim. There is no support required
from the bottom. Pay attention to the provisions for gas line hook-up. The enclosure must have
ventilation holes to prevent gas build-up in case of a leak. The counter top should be level and
flat. Electrical service should be provided for the units equipped with rotisserie.
CLEARANCE:
- To a non-combustible construction a minimum of 5” clearance should be kept from back of
the grill. Do not locate the grill at a spot where It will be difficult to clean the exhaust and grease
from the grill.
- To a combustible construction you must keep a minimum of 16” clearance from back of the grill.
A 16” minimum clearance must also be maintained above and below the cooking surface and
in any combustible construction.
Do not build your LUXOR gas grill directly below unprotected overhead combustible construction.
WARNING: Installing this product into a combustible enclosure could
result in fire, property damage and personal injury.

GAS CONNECTION
The LUXOR gas grill is equipped to use (LP) propane Or (NG) natural gas. Your grill is designated a
gas type and the rating plate must agree with that of the gas supply. Do not operate the grill
on any gas other than what the grill is regulated and orificed for.
The rating plate which contains the information pertaining your grill is
located inside the cabinet wall of the freestanding units or behind
Also a conversion kit is required to convert the grill from (LP) propane
to (NG) natural gas or (NG) natural gas to (LP) propane..

APPLIANCE REGULATOR
AN UNREGULATED
GAS LINE TO THE GRILL
PROPANE (LP)
- The LP gas grill comes equipped with a (Type 1or QCC1 regulator) high capacity LP Regulator hose
assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder. .
- L.P. Hose and fittings are included, the connection is a 1/2” NPT male with a 3/8” flare adapter..
- The operating pressure is 10.0” W.C.
A) Connect the 3/8” flare end of the L.P. Hose to the brass adapter on the manifold.
B) Connect the regulator to the tank with the tank valve fully closed.
C) Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn the black plastic coupler clockwise until the
coupler is tight.
D) Make sure not to over tighten the coupler.
PURGING THE GAS LINE
A) All the controls must be in OFF position.
B) Slowly turn the main tank valve on.
C) Turn one burner control valve on the unit to the “Hi“ position. (DO NOT LITE THE GRILL).
D) The unit has to be purged, leave the control ON for about 15 seconds to allow the air in system
to purge.
E) Wait 10 minutes before lighting the burners. (DO NOT LIGHT THE GRILL WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF PURGING.)
The regulator with hose Type 1or Q. C. connection has the following safety
features:
- The system has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas between
115 and 150 C ( 240 and 300 F).
- The system will not allow gas to flow until a positive connection has been made.
- The system has a flow limiting device which, when activated, will restrict the flow
of the gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.
- The CYLINDER CONTROL VALVE MUST BE TURNED OFF BEFORE ANY CONNECTION

L.P. Cylinder (tank) requirements:
The LP Tank / gas cylinder for your grill is not provided from by our factory. Therefore, make sure that
only D.O.T. approved 20 Lb., or CAN/CGA-B339 approved L.P. gas tanks are used with the grill. All
approved Cylinders must have an integral collar designed to provide protection around the
cylinder valve and prevent damage. Do not use a damaged gas cylinder. Do not attempt to
repair a damaged tank at anytime. A dented or rusty L.P. tank may be hazardous and should be
checked by your L.P. supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Always
check for leaks after every L.P. tank change.
The L.P. gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for
the L.P. gas cylinder of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and designed for use with a
QCC or type 1 system. The gas cylinder must be provided with a shut off valve terminating in an L.P.
gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection type QCC1 in the standard
for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CGA-V-l.:
Manifold pressure: (operating) 10.5" W.C.
Additional tips for safety:
- Extra or spare gas tanks must be stored at least 15 feet fam the grill or any open flame, or
other types of heat producing device or source.
- Gas tanks are equipped with a pressure relief valve. In case a tank is exposed to excessive heat,
the relief valve lets the highly flammable gas vapor or liquid escape. That is why you should never
store the gast tank near heat or a flame.
- Store the gast tank in a well ventilated area
- Do not fill your gas cylinder beyond 3/4 full
L.P. Gas Connection:
When connecting the L.P. gas tank, make sure the hose does not come in contact with the grill
or a hot surface. For the use with an L.P. tank / cylinder, the LUXOR grill is equipped with its own
regulator. DO NOT REMOVE THIS REGULATOR.
If the assembly needs to be replaced, use a unit specified by LUXOR Grills only. Then:
1. Remove the panel in the back of the BBQ to reach the regulator and gas connection area.
2. Route the female end of the hose through the cart
3. Fasten the hose connection to 1/2" x 3/8" flare fitting connected to the Grill Regulator
A proper regulator should always be used with any gas operation. Check with the local Gas
Codes for proper installation. You must use a regulator approved by A.H. T. for any application.
NEVER CONNECT THE GRILL TO AN UNREGULATED GAS SUPPLY
