CARE & USE/INSTALLATION | 7

BEFORE YOU START

WARNING

•Never install this product into a combustible enclosure without an insulated jacket. Doing so could result in fire, property damage and personal injury.

•Never locate the grill under a roof or overhang, in a building, garage, shed or other such enclosed area.

•Never locate the grill under unprotected combustible construction.

•Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2, in Canada.

IF SHIPMENT ARRIVES DAMAGED

VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE

Be certain any visible damage to the carton is noted on freight bill or express receipt and signed by the person making delivery.

FILE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES IMMEDIATELY, regardless of extent of damage.

CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE

If damage is unnoticed until the grill is unpacked, notify the transportation company or carrier immediately and file a “concealed damage” claim with them. This should be done within (5) days of the date delivery is made to you. Be sure to hold on to the container for inspection. We cannot assume responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit. (See INDEX: “Obtaining Service from Lynx” for further details.)

IMPORTANT NOTES

WHERE’S THE WIND?

When selecting a suitable location, consider important factors such as exposure to the wind and foot-traffic patterns.

If you have a freestanding grill, position it so the prevailing wind blows into the front control panel (at your back when grilling), supporting the proper front-to-rear airflow.

Built-in grills located in areas with prevailing winds should be protected by a wind barrier.

Winds hitting the back of the grill directly may cause problems, as well as wind blowing along

the hood gap.

Be sure wind doesn’t blow into the hood gap.

8 | CARE & USE/INSTALLATION

HOW LONG IS YOUR RUN?

Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible because gas lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow and tee that is added. This drop in pressure affects grill performance. (See INDEX: “Gas Supply Line Runs” for further details.)

ARE YOU “ON-THE-LEVEL”?

Proper leveling during installation is critical. A grill that is out of level will cause erratic burner combustion and inefficient, uneven heating. A carpenter’s spirit level

should be used to level the grill both front-to-back and side-to-side.

If the floor is uneven or has a decided slope, re-leveling may be required each time you move a freestanding unit.

BEFORE YOU START ...continued

BUILT-IN INSTALLATIONS

The Lynx Built-In Grill is designed for easy installation into masonry enclosures.

NOTE: Lynx built-in grills are intended either for

installation in a built-in enclosure constructed of non-combustible materials or for an installation in a built

in enclosure constructed of combustible material when installed with a Lynx insulating jacket (LIJ).

For non-combustible applications, the grill drops into the opening shown in the cutout detail drawing (See INDEX: “Gas Requirements”) 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.

(See INDEX: “Gas Requirements”) Pay special attention to the provisions shown for gas line hook-up.

The enclosure should have ventilation holes to prevent gas build-up in the event of a leak. The deck ledges and counter should be flat and level. (refer to ANSI Z21.58 Standard for Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliances, Section 1.7 Enclosures For Self Contained LP-Gas Supply Systems)

This grill requires that a 120 volt, 60 hertz, 15 amp GFI certified outlet be installed by a qualified electrician.

Never locate the transformer or grill gas line behind the grill inside the insulated jacket.

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS

Minimum clearance from the sides and back of the grill to adjacent combustible construction below the counter top surface is 12” from the sides and 6 1/4” from the back of the hood.

Dégagement minimal entre les parois latérales et l’arrière de l’appariel et la construction combustible au-dessous du panneau supérieur de l’appareil (30 cm à partir des parois latérales et 15.9 cm à partir de

l’arrière de la hotte).

Minimum clearance from sides and back of grill to adjacent combustible construction extending above the counter top surface is 12” from the sides and 6 1/4” from the back.

Dégagement horizontal minimal entre les parois latérales et l’arrière de l’appariel et la construction verticale combustible au-dessus de l’appareil (30 cm à partir des parois latérales et 15.9 cm à partir de

l’arrière).

Do not use this appliance under unprotected overhead combustible surfaces.

N’utilisez pas cet appareil sous des surfaces inflammables non protégées.

A minimum of 6” of clearance is needed on the left side of the grill above the counter top for the rotisserie motor and spit rod.

If the grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure, an approved insulated jacket is necessary and is available only from your Lynx dealer. Lynx insulated jackets have been designed and tested specifically for your Grill.

REAR HOOD CLEARANCE

A 3 inch clearance is required behind the grill to allow the front hood to open.

The grill exhausts combustion products and cooking greases to the back. Never locate the grill where this exhaust will be difficult to clean.

GAS CONNECTIONS

WARNING

NEVER CONNECT A GAS LINE DIRECTLY TO THE GRILL. A PRESSURE REGULATOR MUST BE INSTALLED ON ALL GAS EQUIPMENT. ALL LOCAL CODES REQUIRE IT AND LYNX SUPPLIES THE CORRECT REGULATOR WITH YOUR GRILL. REMOVING OR FAILING TO INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR CAN RESULT IN FIRE AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

The grill is factory set to use either propane (LP) or natural gas (NAT). It is critical that the gas you use matches that which the grill was set up for. You can verify that by checking the rating plate.

The Rating plate lists serial numbers, model numbers and gas type. This one is underneath the drip tray.

The rating plate is located in one or more of the following places:

•Attached to the underside of the drip tray

•On the heat shield behind the front panel

Ensure that the gas supplied meets with the minimum pressure requirements. Do not operate the grill on any gas other than that for which the grill has been set.

Fuel	WC Max Inlet	WC Min Under
		Full Load
Nat Gas	10 in	4 in
LP	14 in	11 in

Water Column Requirements

Both the regulator and the manifold orifices have been tuned for the type of gas specified on the rating plate.

Converting to a different type of gas requires a conversion kit, available from Lynx or from your dealer and must be installed by a qualified technician or certified plumber.

All installation and all installation parts must conform to local codes with the National Electrical Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 70 latest edition and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the U.S. and CGA-B149.1/.2 in Canada.

Canadian installations must conform to CGA-B149.1/.2 natural gas/propane installation code. (Canada)

NATURAL GAS

Lynx recommends that only qualified professionals perform the required plumbing on this product.

To ensure satisfactory performance, the gas supply line must be sized to accommodate the total BTU requirements of all the gas-fired equipment that will be connected to that line.

In no case should an inlet pipe less than 3/4” inside diameter or 1” outside diameter ever be used to connect this product.

•Calculate the total BTU output of all equipment and refer to “INDEX: Gas Supply Line Runs” for allowable run distances for ¾ inch pipe. Failure to meet these minimum requirements may reduce performance of the grill and any other appliances running on that supply line.

•Always keep supply line runs as short as possible. (See INDEX: “BTU Output” for specific model outputs)

•A gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location by a qualified plumber.

•Keep threading compound off of the first two pipe threads to avoid having any small pieces of compound break loose and clog a burner valve or orifice. Do not use threading compound on any flare fittings.

Keep last two threads clean

For built-in installations, it is recommended that any flexible pipe used be kept as short as possible. (See INDEX: “Gas Connections” for typical permanent hook up.)

GAS CONNECTIONS ...continued

For freestanding units using natural gas, Lynx recommends using a mobile flex gas line.

This is available at your local hardware store or from your dealer.

LP GAS

Grills set up for LP gas come equipped with an LP hose/ regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder. (Type 1). All fittings necessary to attach the assembly to the grill are included.

LP cylinder with type 1 valve connection

Permanently plumbed LP connections, such as those in line with a bulk cylinder, require a 4/11 regulator. (Lynx P/N 30781)

When using the 4/11 regulator you must ensure that it is set for the proper fuel type. This is done by removing the regulator cap and gasket and looking at the bottom of the plunger to see what fuel type is visible. This is the regulator fuel setting. NAT is for natural gas and LP is for propane gas. The LP setting can be further identified by the large diameter disk on the bottom of the plunger. To change from one gas to the other simply push the plunger to the side to snap it out of the cap, turn the plunger so

it reads the desired gas type on the bottom, and push the plunger until it snaps back into place in the cap then replace the cap into the regulator.

Never connect an unregulated gas line to the grill.

WARNING

Do not change the regulator/hose assembly or use any other assembly than the one supplied with your Lynx grill.

Do not attempt to use a 5LP-A equipped regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL cylinder/valve assembly.

Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance.

Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.

If the information above is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

LP Cylinder Requirements

The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only.

Cylinders of free standing grills must be secured using the provided cylinder retention system to avoid accidental movement.

When exchanging your cylinder for a refill, exchange only for a Type 1 20lb cylinder with an over-fill protection device.

Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve.

A dented or rusty LP cylinder may be hazardous and should be avoided. If in doubt, have it checked by your LP supplier.

Always check for leaks after every LP cylinder change. (See INDEX: “Leak Test” for further details.)

Always shut off the LP-gas supply at the cylinder when the grill is not in use.

Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children. If your grill is stored indoors, the LP cylinder must be stored outside.

LP Connections
