Safety Practices & Precautions
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
1. Never use natural gas in a unit designed for liquid propane or visa versa.
2. If you smell gas:
A. Shut off gas to the appliance.
B. Extinguish any open flames.
C. Open lid.
D. If odor continues, immediately call your gas supplier.
3. DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
4. Whenever the grill burners have been removed, follow the installation instructions.
5. NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
6. California Proposition 65 -- WARNING! The burning of gas cooking fuel generates
some by-products, which are on the list of substances, which are known by the State of
California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to the
substances, always operate this unit according to the use and care instructions found in
this manual. Be certain to provide adequate ventilation when cooking.
California Proposition 65 lists "Silica, crystalline" which is used in one of the components of the
IR burner, as an agent known to the state of California to cause cancer,
7. Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless specifically recommended in this
manual. All other service should be performed by a qualified technician.
8. Gas grills are not design-certified for and are not to be installed in or on recreational
vehicles, portable trailers, boats or any other moving installation.
9. Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where a grill is located. Place your
grill well away from areas where children play. Do not store items that may interest children in or
around the grill, in the cart or in the masonry enclosure. When in use, portions of the grill are
hot enough to cause severe burns.
10. Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments or long sleeves 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. The grill hood must be fully opened when lighting.
Rev, 04/2005 3
Safety Practices & Precautions
11. Have an ABC Fire Extinguisher accessible -- never attempt to extinguish a grease fire
with water or other liquids.
12. Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces.
Gardez tout cordon d'alimentation _lectrique et tuyau d'alimentation en combustible a
I'_cart des surfaces chauff_es.
13. Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the container to
burst.
14. Never store additional or empty propane cylinders in the grill cabinet or around the grill.
Do not store propane cylinders indoors or on their sides. Never use dented, rusty or
damaged propane cylinders.
15. Do not use aluminum foil to line grill racks or drip pans. This will alter combustion
airflow or trap excessive heat in the control area. This can result in melted knobs and
ignition modules.
16. If the grill is installed by a professional installer or technician, be sure that he shows
you where your gas supply shut-off is located. All gas lines must have a shut-off that
is readily and easily accessible. If you smell gas, check for gas leaks immediately. Check
only with a soap and water solution. Never check for gas leaks with an open flame.
17. Never use charcoal in the grill. Never operate the grill in a windy area. If windy conditions
exist, install a suitable windbreak.
18. Be aware that cooking excessively fatty meats and other such products will cause flareups.
Internal fires or damage caused by flare-ups or the grill being left unattended while cooking, are
not the responsibility of LYNX and any resulting damage is not covered under the terms and
conditions of our Warranty.
19. Never grill without the drip pan in place. The drip pan must be pushed all the way to the
back of the grill. Without the drip pan in place, hot grease could leak downward and produce a
fire or explosion hazard.
20. Store your grill in a well-ventilated area. Remove the LP cylinder, if so equipped, and
store it outdoors in a well-ventilated area away from heat and away from where children may
tamper with it.
21. Always adhere to the required clearances from combustibles as detailed. The grill is
designed for use outdoors only. Never operate in a garage, building, shed, breezeway or other
enclosed area.
22. Grease is extremely flammable. Let hot grease cool down before attempting to handle
or dispose of it. The drip tray should be cleaned of grease on a regular basis.
23. Keep any electrical supply cord away from any heated surface. Electrical cords should be
placed away from walkways to avoid tripping hazard.

Rev, 04/2005
Safety Practices & Precautions
24. Do not use the grill until a leak check has been performed (see page 6).
25. Do not move grill while in use or hot.
26. Never place more than 30 pounds on a side shelf. Do not lean on shelves.
27. Do not operate grill under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
28. If any burner does not light or goes out during operation, turn off all gas control
knobs with hood open and wait five (5) minutes before attempting to re-light.
LOCATION:
Never connect any unregulated gas supply to the grill.
The regulator with hose Type 1 connection has the fol-
lowing safety features:
*The system will not allow gas to flow until a posi-
tive connection has been made.
*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 has a flow limiting device which, when
activated, will restrict the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per
hour.
NOTE:The cylinder control valve must be turned off before any connec-
tion is made or removed. NEVER USE GRILL WITHOUT LEAK TEST
ING THIS CONNECTION.
Should the large black thermally sensitive coupling nut be exposed to temperatures above 115-150°C it will
soften and allow the regulator probe to disengage from the cylinder valve, thereby shutting off the flow of
gas. Should this occur, do not attempt to reconnect the nut. Remove the entire regulator assembly and
replace it with a new one. The cause of the excessive heat should be determined and corrected before
operating your grill again. The regulator probe also contains a flow-sensing element, which wilt limit the
flow of gas to the regulator to a manageable amount (10 cubic feet/hour) in the event of a hose or regula
tot rupture. If it is evident that the flow control device has activated the cause of the excess flow should be
determined and correct ed before using your grill again.
NOTE: Improper lighting procedures can cause the flow control to activate, resulting in reduced heat out
put. If this is suspected, to reset flow control, shut off all burner controls and cylinder valve, wait 30 sec
onds, then turn cylinder valve on extremely slowly wait five (5) seconds and turn burner valve on and light.

Rev. 04/2005
Locating the Grill
When selecting a suitable location, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind and
traffic paths. Try to keep all gas supply lines as short as possible. Never locate the grill in a
building garage, shed or other such enclosed area. A carpenter's "spirit level" should be used to
assure that the unit is level both front-to-back and side-to-side. If it is not level, burner combus-
tion may be erratic. The unit may not function efficiently. If the floor is uneven or has a decided
slope, re-leveling may be required after each moving of a freestanding unit.
BUILT-IN INSTALLATIONS:
The LYNX Built-In Grill is designed for easy installation into masonry enclosures. For non-com-
bustible applications the grill drops into the opening shown in cutout detail drawing and hangs
from its counter top trim. A deck is not required to support it from the bottom. When using the
insulated jacket in a combustible enclosure, the jacket must be supported from the bottom by a
ledge on each side or a full deck beneath the jacket. Review the detailed drawing and pay spe-
cial attention to the provisions shown for gas line hook-up. It is recommended that the enclosure
have ventilation holes to prevent gas build-up in the event of a leak. The deck ledges and
counter should be flat and level. If your grill is equipped with a rotisserie, electrical service
should be provided (on the Left Side of most models).
CLEARANCE TO NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION:
A minimum of 2" clearance on Premier Models 27/36/48 from the back of the grill.
Professional Models 30142148 and 54 require a minimum of 4" for the purpose of opening the
hood. The grill exhausts combustion products and cooking greases to the back. Never locate the
grill where this exhaust will be difficult to clean.
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION:
Minimum clearance from sides and back of unit to adjacent combustible construction below top
of unit, 12 inches from sides and 12 inches from back. / D_gagement minimal entre les parois
lat_rales et I'arriere de I'appariel et la construction combustible au-dessous du panneau
sup_rieur de I'appareil (30 cm a partir des parois lat_rales et 30 cm a partir de I'arriere).
Minimum horizontal clearance from sides and back of unit to adjacent vertical combustible con-
struction extending above top of unit, 12 inches from sides and 12 inches from back. /
D_gagement horizontal minimal entre les parois lat_rales et I'arriere de I'appariel et la
construction verticale combustible au-dessus de I'appareil (30 cm a partir des parois
lat_rales et 30 cm a partir de I'arriere).
Do not use this appliance under overhead combustible surfaces. / Ne pas utiliser cet appareil
sous une surface combustible.
Warning: Installing this product into a combustible enclosure without an insulated jacked
could result in fire, property damage and personal injury.
If the grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure, an approved insulated jacket is neces-
sary and is available from your LYNX dealer. Use only a LYNX insulated jacket as it has been
designed and tested specifically for your Grill. Refer to page 8 for cutout dimensions.
A minimum of 6" of clearance is needed on each side of the grill for the motor and skewer.

Utility Requirements
PROPANE (LP) or NATURAL GAS ONLY
Your grill is equipped to use either propane (LP) or natural gas (NAT).
It is very important that the grill rating plate agrees with that of the gas
supply.
The rating plate is located either under the drip tray, the heat
shield behind the front panel (remove smoker tray) or on the
inside left cabinet wall (most freestanding grills). Do not attempt
to operate the grill on any gas other than what the grill is orificed
for and what the regulator is set for. The regulator cap must be
turned over to change gas types. For connection to an LP tank,
the grill comes equipped with a high capacity LP Regulator/hose
assembly (Type 1). Never connect an unregulated gas line to
the grill.
L.P. Gas Hook Up (Type 1 or QCC1 regulator): Appliance Regulator
Grills orificed for use with L.P. gas come equipped with an LP
hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. L.P. cylinder (Type 1). The L.P. tank
is not included. Connection: 1/2" NPT male with a 3/8" Flare adapter. LP Hose and fittings are
included. Operating pressure: 10.0"W.C.
Connect the 3/8" flare end of the L.P. hose to the brass adapter on the manifold Connect the
Regulator to the tank (with the tank valve fully closed). Although the flow of gas is stopped when
the Type 1 system is disconnected, you should always turn the L.R tank main valve off after
each use and during transport of the tank or unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve
and turn to the black coupler clockwise until the coupler is tight. Elbowl/2"x
Do not over-tighten the coupler, j/ 3/8 Flare
To purge gas line: Make sure all controls are in the OFF position.
Turn the main tank valve on SLOWLY and turn one burner control
valve on the unit to the "light" position (DO NOT LITE GRILL). Leave
control ON for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to
purge. Wait 10 minutes before attempting to light the burners.
Do not attempt lighting the grifl within 10 minutes after purging!
To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main tank valve is
turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counter clockwise. The inlet
will then disengage, remove the inlet from the tank valve opening if it
has not already done so when it disengaged. Your local L.P. filling
station should be equipped with the proper equipment to fill your tank.
If trading your tank in, always ensure to obtain only Type 1 201b cylin-
ders with an overfill protection device.

Utility Requirements
L.P. Tank Requirements: 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 specifica-
tions for L.P. gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and designed for use
with a Type 1 system only. Do not change the regulator/hose assembly from that supplied with
the unit or attempt to use a 5LP-A equipped regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL
tank/valve assembly. The 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 1.
If the appliance is stored indoors the cylinder must be disconnected and removed from
the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the
reach of children.
Turn off LP-gas supply at cylinder when appliance is not in use./Fermez ralimentation en
GPL a la bouteille si rappareil ne fonctionne pas.
The LP-gas supply cylinder must be disconnected when this appliance is not in use./ La
bouteille de GPL doit _tre d_connect_e si cet appareil ne fonctionne pas.
Natural Gas Installations:
The installation of the grill must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, to
the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-1988 or latest edition. If installed in Canada, installa-
tion must be in accordance with Gas Code CAN/CGA B149, 1 or .2 and local codes.
The gas supply line must be sized to accommodate all the gas-fired equipment that may
be connected to that supply, i.e. total BTU output to be consumed, needs to be deter-
mined so as to calculate what size diameter pipe is needed, for the total length of pipe
from the gas main (at house) to grill hook-up. If the gas line is too small, the grill will not
function properly.
An installer-supplied gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location.
All installer-supplied parts must conform to local codes with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-1990 and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1988.
The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures above 1/2" PSIG (3.5KPA).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual man-
ual shut off during any pressure testing. Do not apply threading compound to the first two pipe
threads as to avoid clogging of the burner valves and orifice. Do not put sealant on any male
end of flare fittings.

Rev. 04/2005
Utility Requirements
Electrical Requirements for Built-in Units:
Installation should include an outdoor 120VAC 15A GFI electrical outlet located adjacent
to the grill. Do not locate motor or outlet on the same side as a Side Burner unless a minimum
of 12" clearance is provided. Simply plug in the electrical cord from the transformer provided,
into a GFI equipped outdoor outlet.
Professional Models Only: The power source should be a GFI outlet for plugging in the cord
from the transformer (supplied). The transformer reduces the voltage to 12 Volts for the light and
rotisserie motor. A qualified electrician can install a GFI outlet inside the island enclosure for
built-in units. The transformer has 2 output leads with jackplugs on the end. These jackplugs
must be plugged in to the 2 female jacks mounted on the bottom rail of the grill on the lower left
side approximately half way towards the rear of the unit*. The 2 jackplugs are interchangeable
and can be plugged in to either of the female jacks. These supply the power to the light and
rotisserie motor jack.
Professional Series Units
*Plug both output jacks from the transformer
into the panel mounted on left side of grill.
WARNING
Electrical Grounding Instructions:
This outdoor cooking gas appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against
shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the
grounding prong from this plug.
