Precautions for Installation and Storage
1) DO NOT store or use gasoline
or other ammable 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. 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.
4) Never move the grill when hot.
5) 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, breezeway 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 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.
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 specically recommended in this
manual. Other service should be
performed by a qualied tech.
11) If the grill is installed by a
professional installer or technician, be sure that he shows you
where your gas supply shut-o is
located. All gas lines must have
a shut-o 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 ame.
SPECIAL NOTE ON USING YOUR GRILL IN WINDY CONDITIONS
As a high-performance gas appliance, your Lynx grill requires
signicant amounts of air to support the combustion process.
Your grill has been engineered
to take air in through the control
panel area, and exhaust the combustion byproducts out through
the gap between the front and
rear hoods (see gure 2 at right).
Using your grill in windy conditions can disrupt the proper ow
of air through your grill, leading 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 high wind conditions, it
is best if you don’t use your grill.
If you live in an area that is subject to frequent high winds, or a
steady directional wind, then the
installation of the supplied wind
bae is advised.
If you have a freestanding grill,
it is best to position the unit so
the prevailing wind blows into
the front control panel, thus
supporting the proper airow.
Winds hitting the back of the
grill directly are the most likely to
cause problems, 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
discoloration from heat buildup, are excluded from warranty
coverage.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR LP USE
Never connect any unregulated
gas supply to the grill. The hose
with regulator and Type 1 connection included with your grill
has these safety features:
• The system will not allow gas to
ow until a positive connection
has been made.
•The system has a thermal element that will shut-o the ow
of gas between 115 and 150ºC
(240 and 300ºF).
• The system has a ow limiting
device which, when activated,
will restrict the ow of gas to 10
cubic feet per hour.
NOTE: The cylinder control valve
must be turned o 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, thermally sensitive coupling nut be
exposed to temperatures above
115-150ºC, it will soften, allowing the regulator probe to disengage from the cylinder valve,
thereby shutting o the ow 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 ow-sensing element, which will limit the ow
of gas to the regulator to a manageable amount in the event of
a hose or regulator rupture. If it
is evident that the ow control
device has activated, the cause
of the excess ow should be determined and corrected before
using your grill again.
NOTE: Improper lighting procedures can cause the ow control
to activate, resulting in reduced
heat output. If this is suspected,
to reset ow control, shut o
all burner controls and cylinder
valve, wait 30 seconds, then
turn cylinder valve on extremely
slowly, wait ve (5) seconds and
turn burner valve on to light.
Figure 3-1
and regulator must be used if
your grill is set-up for LP Gas.
- The included hose
Wind hitting the grill
while in use, especially
winds blowing into
or across this hood
gap, can cause poor
performance and in
some cases can cause
the control panel to
get dangerously hot.
Figure 3-2
away from prevailing winds and avoid grilling in windy conditions. If needed, install the wind bae

Locating Your Grill
4" min. for all other sizes
2" min. for 27" grills
When selecting a suitable location, take into account concerns
such as exposure to wind and
trac 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 combustion may be erratic or the unit
may not function eciently. If
the oor 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-combustible applications, the grill drops
into the opening shown in the
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 special 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 at and level.
If your grill is equipped with a rotisserie, electrical service should
be provided (on the Left Side of
most models).
REAR HOOD CLEARANCE:
Clearance is required behind the
grill to allow the front hood to
open (see gure 4-1). 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 cooking greases to the back. Never locate the grill where this exhaust
will be dicult to clean.
