Precautions for Installation and Storage

1)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. 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 certified 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 specifically recommended in this manual. Other service should be performed by a qualified tech.

11)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.

SPECIAL NOTE ON USING YOUR GRILL IN WINDY CONDITIONS

As a high-performance gas appliance, your Lynx grill requires significant 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 figure 2 at right).

Using your grill in windy conditions can disrupt the proper flow 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 baffle 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 airflow. 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.

Locating Your 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 combustion may be erratic or 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-combus- tible 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 flat 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 figure 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 difficult to clean.

2" min. for 27" grills

4" min. for all other sizes

Figure 4-1 - Required clearance to allow opening of front hood.

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION:

Minimum clearance from sides and back of unit to adjacent combustible construction below top of unit are 12” from sides and 12” from back.

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 30 cm

à partir de l’arrière).

Minimum horizontal clearance from sides and back of unit to adjacent vertical combustible construction extending above top of unit is 12” from sides and 12” from 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 30 cm à partir de l’arrière).

Do not use this appliance under overhead combustible surfaces.

Ne pas utiliser cet appareil sous une surface combustible.

A minimum of 6” of clearance is needed on each side of the grill for the motor and skewer.

If the grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure, an approved insulated jacket is necessary 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 next page for cutout dimensions.

WA R N I N G

Installing this product into a combustible enclosure without an insulated jacket could result in fire, property damage and personal injury.
