Precautions for Installation and Storage
I) DO NOT store or use gasoline
or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance.
2) 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.
3) Children should not be left
alone or unattended in an area
where a grill is located. Placeyour
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.
4) Never move the grill when hot.
S) Always adhere to the required
clearances from combustibles as
detailed. The grill is designed for
outdoor use only. Never use in a
garage, building, shed, breeze-
way or other enclosed area.
6) Gas grills are not design cer-
tified for and are not to be
installed in or on recreational
vehicles, portable trailers, boats
or any other moving installation.
7) Have an ABC Fire Extinguisher
accessible -- never attempt to
extinguish a grease fire with
water or other liquids.
8) Store your grill in a well-ven-
tilated area. Remove the L.P.cyl-
inder, if so equipped, and store
it outdoors in a well-ventilated
area away from heat and away
from where children may tam-
per with it.
9) Keep any electrical supply
cord and the fuel supply hose
away from any heated surfaces.
Electrical cords should be placed
away from walkways to avoid
tripping hazard.
10) Do not repair or replace
any part of the grill unless spe-
cifically recommended in this
manual. Other service should be
performed by a qualified tech.
11) If the grill is installed by a
professional installer or techni-
cian, 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 eas-
ily 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.
SPECIAL NOTE ON USING YOUR GRILL IN WINDY CONDITIONS
As a high-performance gas ap-
pliance, your Lynx grill requires
significant amounts of air to sup-
port the combustion process.
Your grill has been engineered
to take air in through the con-
trol panel area, and exhaust the
combustion byproducts out
through the gap between the
front and rear hoods (see figure
3-2 at right).
Using your grill in windy condi-
tions can disrupt the proper flow
of air through your grill, lead-
ing to reduced performance, or
in certain severe cases, causing
heat buildup in the control panel
area. This can lead to problems
such as having the control knobs
melt, or burn hazards when the
control panel surfaces become
too hot to touch.
During windy conditions, it is
best if you don't use your grill.
If you have a freestanding grill,
it is best to position the unit so
the prevailing wind blows into
the front control panel (or at
your back), thus supporting the
proper airflow. Winds hitting
the back of the grill directly are
the most likely to cause prob-
lems, although wind blowing
along the hood gap can also be
problematic.
Please note that damage to
your grill resulting from use
in windy conditions, such
as melted knobs or igniter
wires, or control panel dis-
coloration from heat build-
up, are excluded from war-
ranty coverage.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR LP USE
Never connect any unregulated
gas supply to the grill. The hose
with regulator and Type 1 con-
nection included with your grill
has these safety features:
. The system will not allow gas to
flow until a positive connection
has been made.
.The system has a thermal ele-
ment 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
connection is made or removed.
NEVER USE GRILL WITHOUT
FIRST LEAK TESTING THIS
CONNECTION, FOLLOWING
THE PROCEDURE ON PAGE 11.
Should the large, black, ther-
mally sensitive coupling nut be
exposed to temperatures above
115q50°C, it will soften, allow-
ing the regulator probe to dis-
engage 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 as-
sembly 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 el-
ement, which will limit the flow
of gas to the regulator to a man-
ageable amount in the event of
a hose or regulator rupture. If it
is evident that the flow control
device has activated, the cause
of the excess flow should be de-
termined and corrected before
using your grill again.
NOTE: Improper lighting proce-
dures can cause the flow control
to activate, resulting in reduced
heat output. If this is suspected,
to reset flow control, shut off
all burner controls and cylinder
valve, wait 30 seconds, then
turn cylinder valve on extremely
slowly, wait five (5) seconds and
turn burner valve on to light.

Figu re 3-2 - Steady or gusty winds can prevent the normal exhaust of hot gases. Locate your grill
away from prevailing winds and avoid grilfing in windy conditions.

Locadng Your GH
When selecting a suitable loca-
tion, 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 under a
roof or overhang, in a build-
ing, 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 or the unit
may not function efficiently. If
the floor is uneven or has a de-
cided 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 mason-
ry enclosures. For non-combus-
tible applications, the grill drops
into the opening shown in the
cutout detail drawing and hangs
from its counter-top trim. A deck
isnot required to support it from
the bottom. When using the in-
sulated 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 enclo-
sure have ventilation holes to
prevent gas build-up inthe event
of a leak. The deck ledges and
counter should be flat and level.
If your grill isequipped with a to-
tisserie, electrical service should
be provided (on the Left Side of
most models).
REARHOOD CLEARANCE:
Clearance is required behind the
grill to allow the front hood to
open (see figure 4q). 27" and 36"
models require a minimum of 2"
clearance, while 30", 42" and 54"
models require a minimum of
4" clearance. The grill exhausts
combustion products and cook-
ing greases to the back. Never lo-
cate the grill where this exhaust
will be difficult to clean.
