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.

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 L.P. 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
3-2 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 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 discoloration from heat buildup, are excluded from warranty coverage.

Gas Requirements & Hook-up
Your grill is setup to use either
propane (LP) or natural gas (NAT).
It is very important that the
grill rating plate matches
with your gas supply.
The rating plate is located in one
or more of the following places:
• under the drip tray
• on the heat shield behind the
front panel
• 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 oriced for and what
the regulator is set for. Should
you need to convert your grill
for use with a dierent gas type,
a conversion kit, available from
your dealer, is required.
Never connect an unregulated gas line to the grill.
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. In no case
should pipe less than 3/4” inside diameter or 1” outside
diameter be used to connect
this product.
An installer-supplied gas
shut-o 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 Z21.58D-2002.
The appliance and its individual
shut o valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pres-
sure 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 manual shut o during
any pressure testing. Do not apply threading compound to the
rst two pipe threads as to avoid
clogging of the burner valves
and orice. Do not put sealant
on any male end of are ttings.
For built-in installations, it is recommended that any exible pipe
used be kept as short as possible. For freestanding units using
natural gas, it is strongly recommended that a quick disconnect
kit from Lynx be installed. This
kit, part #LQD, is available from
your dealer.
IMPORTANT- See Gas
Plumbing Requirements
on page 28 for additional
information
NATURAL GAS
The installation of the grill must
conform with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, to
the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z21.58D-2002 or latest edition. If
installed in Canada, installation
must be in accordance with Gas
Code CAN / CGA-B149.1/.2 and
local codes.
The gas supply line must be
sized to accommodate all the
gas-red equipment that may
be connected to that supply,
i.e. total BTU output to be consumed, needs to be determined

Grills oriced 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). All ttings necessary to attach the hose/regulator
to the grill are included. The L.P.
tank is not included. Operating
pressure: 11.0” W.C.
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
(see page 11).
The L.P. gas cylinder must be
constructed and marked in accordance with the specications
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 o valve terminating in
an L.P. gas supply cylinder valve

tighten the coupler.
To disconnect the coupler, rst
make sure the main tank valve
is turned o. Grasp the coupler
and turn counter clockwise. The
inlet will then disengage.
For hard plumbed LP connections to a large source (tank), a
4/11 regulator must be utilized.
Never connect an unregulated
gas line to the grill.
Gas Line Purging
To purge the L.P. 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
5 minutes before attempting to
light the burners.
Do not attempt lighting the grill
within 5 minutes after purging!
Cylinders must be stored
outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of
children. If the appliance
is stored indoors, the L.P.
cylinder must be removed
from the appliance, and
stored outside.

Using the Rotisserie
The rotisserie system consists of
three main parts - the motor, the
skewer which holds the food,
and the infrared rotis burner. The
rotisserie evenly cooks large cuts
of meat by turning them continuously in front of a high-intensity burner. The rotis is capable of
turning up to a 25 lb. cut of meat.
THE MOTOR
The rotisserie motor runs on 12
volt DC power that is supplied
by the grill. To power the motor,
plug the “L” shaped jack of the
power cord into the motor, and
plug the other end into the jack
provided on the left side of the
grill (see gure 16-1). This hookup allows for simple installation
and removal of the motor for
storage when not in use.
THE SKEWER
To load the skewer, slide one of
the meat holders onto the skewer. Push the skewer through the
center of the food, then slide the
second meat holder onto the
skewer. Center the food to be
cooked on the skewer then push
the meat holders rmly together.
Tighten the thumb screws (use
pliers if necessary). It may also be
necessary to wrap the food with
butchers string (never use nylon
or plastic string) to secure any
loose portions.
Remove the warming rack and,
if needed, remove the grill racks
and briquette trays to gain better clearance. It is normal for the
skewer to ex when cooking
large foods. Place a basting pan
beneath the food for basting
and to ease cleaning.
Never operate a grill burner
with a basting pan in place.

THE INFRARED BURNER
The location of the rotis burner
makes it more susceptible to
strong wind conditions (more
so than the main grill burners).
For this reason you should avoid
operating the rotis during windy
conditions. As an added safety
feature, the burner is equipped
with an automatic safety valve
which will not allow gas to ow
to the rotis burner if it is not
properly lit. To light the rotis
burner, follow this procedure:
16
Figure 16-1
power jack located on grill
- Rotis motor
NOTE: The grill must be con-
nected to 115 volt AC power as
described on page 7 for the rotis
motor to function.
Install the motor onto the grill by
sliding it onto the bracket located on the left side of the grill.
The skewer for the rotis is assembled into the motor assembly
by placing the pointed end into
the motor, and resting the short,
round end (threaded end on 27”
models) onto the support at the
opposite side of the grill. With
the skewer pushed into the motor, it should rest on the bracket.
The Lynx rotisserie features dual
positions to accommodate larger cuts of meat or to allow slower cooking (see gure 16-2). Any
food to be cooked should be a
minimum of 2” from the surface
of the infrared burner.
1) Open hood completely. Do
not attempt to light grill with the
hood closed.
2) Load food onto skewer, and
install motor and skewer onto
grill in desired cooking position.
3) Check to ensure that all burn-
er control knobs are set to OFF.
4) Turn on main gas supply.
Purge if needed (see page 9).
5) Push in and turn burner con-
trol knob to LITE. Hold knob in
for 30 to 60 seconds.

Troubleshooting
If the Grill does not function
properly, use this checklist before
contacting Lynx for service.
GRILL WON’T LIGHT
Check to ensure that all burner
control knobs are set to OFF.
Push control knob in and ensure
that the ignition is glowing. If
ignition is not glowing, proceed with troubleshooting or
match-light the burner. If the
igniters are working correctly,
next determine if gas is reaching
the burners. Ensure the gas supply is turned on, and that there
are no leaks, according to the
procedure on page 11. Attempt
to match-light a burner according to the procedure on page
14. If the burner will light with
a match, then the igniter may
not be functioning correctly, or
may not be adjusted correctly.
See above or call for service. If
the burner will not match light,
and the gas supply has been
confirmed, check the burner for
blockages according to the procedure on page 19.
YELLOW FLAME/GAS SMELL
IF YOU SMELL GAS WHILE
THE GRILL IS OPERATING,
IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ALL
BURNERS. Perform a leak test,
check for blockages and check
the air shutter adjustment
according to page 19.
NOTE: If the grill is operating in
a dusty area or if heavy grease
is present, some orange tips on
the burner flame are normal.
LOW/INSUFFICIENT HEAT
Ensure that adequate preheat
time has elapsed. Brass burners
should preheat for at least 15
minutes with the hood closed;
ProSear burners should preheat
for at least 3 minutes.
If adequate preheat time was
allowed, check the gas supply
for a damaged and/or kinked
supply line. Replace if necessary.
On LP units, a mostly empty tank
may not have sufficient pressure to run the grill at high heat.
Replace with a full tank. Make
sure that the regulator/hose
assembly being used is the unit
supplied with the grill. On natural gas units, ensure that the
supply line is at least 3/4” inside
diameter or 1” outside diameter.
Check the Natural Gas supply
pressure to ensure at least 7”
W.C. and 4” W.C. pressure under
full load (all burners on.) For LP,
11” W.C. supply (not to exceed
14”) with 11” under full load.
If gas supply is adequate, check
burners for blockages and check
flame characteristics according
to the procedure on page 19
and clean or adjust air shutter if
needed. Check also that there is
no pressure being applied to the
regulator attached to the back
of the grill. This regulator contains a flexible diaphragm and
should not be allowed to touch
the grill body or surroundings.
Check to make sure that the
burners and the drip tray are
clean and free from obstruc-
tions. Clean if necessary. NOTE:
No part of the grill should ever
be lined with aluminum foil as
it will interfere with airflow and
can cause a low heat condition.
BURNER BLOWS OUT
First determine if the problem
is being caused by location.
If location is subject to high
winds, reposition grill to provide
some protection. Check the gas
supply and flame characteristic according to the procedure
under Low/Insufficient Heat.
Check to ensure that the burners
are correctly positioned in the
grill according to the procedure
on page 19. Correctly installed
burners should be seated firmly
with no side-to-side movement.
ROTISSERIE WON’T LIGHT
Follow the same procedure as
described above for the grill
burners to diagnose problems
with the Rotisserie IR burner. The
IR burner flame may be hard to
see in bright sunny conditions.
LIGHTS WON’T OPERATE
Ensure that the grill has AC
power by removing the D cell
battery according to the instructions on page 7, and then pressing a burner control knob to test
the spark igniter. If the igniters don’t function, no AC power
is connected. If the igniters do
function, replace the bulb.

Light Bulb Replacement
TO CHANGE LIGHT BULBS
Remove the glass light cover by
grasping the edge of the glass
and gently prying it o. It may
be necessary to remove one
screw. Pull the old bulb straight
out from socket - do not twist.
Replacement bulbs are halogen,
12 volt, T3 type with a G4 bipin
base. The 27” and 30” grill uses
one 10W bulb, all others use two
10W bulbs.
AVOID TOUCHING THE
GLASS OF NEW BULBS.
Install new bulb by gently pressing it into the socket. Replace
glass cover by gently snapping
back into place.
Figure 21-1
- Remove glass cover to access work light bulb.
Replacing the Briquettes
TO REPLACE BRIQUETTES
The special Lynx ceramic briquettes are secured to the trays
with stainless steel clips. To insert a briquette into the tray, it
is necessary to remove the clip
from one side of the empty slot.
This is done by bending the retaining tabs for the clip located
on the back side of the briquette
tray as shown below.
WA R N I N G
The edges of the clips
may be sharp. Pliers
MUST be used to remove
clips - never attempt to
remove them by hand as
injury may result.

Lighting the Side Burner or LPSGE
WA R N I N G
Never attempt to light
burner if odor of gas
is present. Lid must be
open/o when lighting.
Keep face and body as
far from unit as possible
when lighting. Always
wait at least 5 minutes
before attempting to relight a hot burner.
Before proceeding, make sure
you have completed a leak test.
This check should be performed
before each use of the side burner or grill extender.
Follow these steps to light the
burners:
1) Open or remove lid complete-
ly. Do not attempt to light burners with the lid closed.
2) Check to ensure that all burn-
er control knobs are set to OFF.
Push control knob in and ensure
that the ignition is glowing. If
ignition is not glowing, proceed
with troubleshooting or matchlight the burner.
3) Turn on main gas supply.
Purge if needed (see page 9).
4) Push in and turn burner con-
trol knob to LITE. Hold knob in
for 5 seconds.
5) If burner does not light, turn
knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes to
allow gas to dissipate, and repeat step 4 above.
PREHEATING THE LPSGE
Before cooking, always preheat
the ProSear burner for best results. To preheat, light the burner, set to HIGH and allow to preheat until the burner glows red,
usually about 2-3 minutes.
DO NOT LEAVE THE UNIT
UNATTENDED DURING
THE PREHEAT CYCLE OR AT
ANY TIME WHILE IN USE.
DO NOT ALLOW UNIT TO
PREHEAT FOR PROLONGED
PERIODS OF TIME. OVERHEATING THE UNIT CAN
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE

MATCH LIGHTING
If burners will not light after several attempts, the burners can be
match lit. If you’ve just attempted to light the burner with the
igniter, allow 5 minutes for any
accumulated gas to dissipate.
Make sure all knobs are in the
OFF position. Keep your face as
far away from the unit as possible. With the lid removed, pass
the alternate lighting rod with a
lit paper match installed to the
ports of the burner. Push and
turn the corresponding control
knob of the burner to LITE. If the
burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn the knob o and wait
5 minutes before attempting
again.

Gas Plumbing Requirements
• A pressure regulator must be installed on all gas equipment. All local codes require that
a pressure regulator be installed. Removing or failing to install the pressure regulator can
result in fire and serious bodily harm.
• An installer supplied gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location for
all hard-plumbed natural gas and liquid propane applications.
• In order for a Lynx Grill to perform properly you must have adequate gas plumbing. Please
see the guidelines below to help ensure that you have the appropriate gas plumbing with
respect to gas pipe diameter, length of pipe run and the grills BTU requirements.
Internal Pipe
Diameter10 ft.20 ft.30 ft.40 ft.50 ft.60 ft.70 ft.80 ft.
Natural Gas Supply pressure = 7” water column (17.8 cm) min. and
pressure under full load = 4” water column (10.2 cm) minimum.
Liquid Propane Supply Pressure = 11-14” water column (27.9 – 35.5 cm), not to exceed 14” water column and
pressure = 11” water column (27.0 cm) minimum.
Note: All BTU and water column requirements are approximations.
