IMpORTANT SAFETY pRECAUTIONS
PLEASE REVIEW THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL.
1. NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
2. Ensure all tie-down wires have been removed from the burners.
3. Always use caution when operating the grill in a windy area. (See INDEX: “Grilling in Windy Condi-
tions” for further details.)
4. Avoid wearing loose-tting garments or long sleeves while grilling. They could ignite.
5. Never touch the grill racks, hood or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands while grilling.
6. Use an insulated glove or mitt when opening and operating the grill. Always open the grill lid slowly to allow heat and smoke to escape before fully opening.
7. The grill hood must be fully opened while lighting the grill. Releasing fuel into a closed grill
before lighting will not make it light sooner or more efciently. It will only risk explosion and
personal injury or death. Never lean over a hot grill surface or look directly into the grill when attempting to light.
8. Do not heat unopened food containers as pressure build-up will cause the container to explode.
9. Do not use aluminum foil to line grill racks or drip pans. This will alter the airow or trap ex­cessive heat in the control area and can melt control knobs and ignition modules. Such dam-
age is specically excluded from your warranty.
10. Never use charcoal or any other solid fuel in the grill.
11. Cooking excessively fatty meats and oils will cause are ups. Internal res or damage caused by them or by the grill being left unattended while cooking are not covered under the terms and conditions of our warranty.
12. Never grill without the drip pan in place. Always ensure the drip pan is pushed all the way to
the back of the grill. Hot grease can leak downward and produce a re or explosion.
13. Grease is extremely ammable. Let hot grease cool down before attempting to handle or dis­pose of it. The drip tray should be cleaned of grease on a regular basis.
14. Do not use the grill unless a leak check has been performed on all gas connections. (See IN-
DEX: “Leak Test Procedure” for further details.)
15. Never operate the grill while under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.
16. Do not lean on side shelves and never place a load weighing more than 25 pounds on a side shelf.
17. If any burner does not light or goes out during operation, turn off all gas control knobs, open
the hood and wait ve (5) minutes before attempting to re-light.
18. Portable LP cylinders: Always shut off the main valve on the LP cylinder after each use.
19. Spiders and insects like to nest in the burners, venturis, valves and orices of a grill, disrupt-
ing the gas ow. This very dangerous condition can cause a re behind the control panel,
damaging the grill and risking personal injury. If your grill has been unused for a long time,
inspect and clean the burners, venturis, valves and orices. (See INDEX: “Cleaning the Brass Burner”
for further details.)

IMPORTANT!
GRILLING IN WINdY CONdITIONS
Please Note: Any damage caused from use in windy conditions, such as melted knobs or igniter wires, or control panel discolor- ation from heat buildup, is excluded from warranty coverage.
Outdoor grills create more heat than interior kitchen ranges. That’s how they sear and grill steaks and other foods.
These high-performance
burners require a constant,
steady supply of fresh air to mix with the fuel. Your Lynx grill pulls air in through the front and vents hot gases out through the rear.
Fig 2 - Air enters through the front
Using your grill in windy conditions may disrupt the
front-to-back air ow. If, while
grilling with all burners on
high and the hood closed, you notice that the tempera- ture gauge fails to rise ... be careful. If wind has kept hot gases from exiting the rear of the grill the control panel and knobs may have become extremely hot.
Fig 3 - Wind hitting the back of the grill can disrupt proper exhaust.
Your Lynx grill features an exclusive, patent-pending
Heat Stabilizer that will deect
wind and, in most cases, prevent this situation.
But there are a few things you can do to further prevent the
possibility of improper heat buildup:
On breezy days, be careful not to leave the front hood down for more than 15 minutes when the burners are on high. (Never leave the grill
unattended when in operation)
► If you suspect the grill is overheating, using an oven mitt, open the front hood. Then adjust the burner control knob to a lower setting.
Install your grill with a wind break behind it.
► Orient the grill so prevail- ing winds are not blowing into the rear of the grill.

USING YOUR LYNx GRILL
pRE-GRILL CHECKLIST
Grilling requires high heat for
searing and low, controlled heat for slow cooking.
Thinner cuts of food are often cooked at a “HI” heat setting with the lid open.
On the other hand, large, thick pieces of meat or
poultry are often rst seared
at the grilled at a
high
setting and then
lower setting
... sometimes with the lid closed … achieving the best results in the middle of the food without burning the outside.
Some foods are cooked using direct heat and some using indirect heat.
Your Lynx grill features a variety of professional-level burners and tools for meeting the wide variety of cooking challenges. We will reveal how these features work for you. So please read and enjoy!
Depending on the model you chose, your Lynx grill may be equipped with up to three different
burner types. The operation of each type varies, so it is important to understand all three.
Main Brass Burner
This heavy-duty, durable brass burner is the standard main burner found under
the briquette trays.
ProSear™ 2 Burner
This advanced in- frared burner pro- vides high-intensity infrared heat for searing foods and
sealing in avor.
Rotisserie Burner
This infrared burner spans the back of the cooking area and provides consistent heat for slow rotisserie cooking.
BEFORE YOUR
FIRST
USE
There are a few must-check safety precautions to consider before you use your grill. Please be sure that:
 All packing materials and tie-downs have been removed from the burners. (See INDEX:
“Unpacking and Assembly” for further details.)
 You have fuel connected.
(See INDEX: “Gas Requirements”
for further details.)
10
You have electric
connected.
Requirements” for further details.)
(See INDEX: “Electric
A qualied plumber has
performed a leak test on all
the ttings that supply fuel to
your grill.
IF YOUR GRILL DOES
NOT LIGHT IN 4 TO 5 SECONDS you may need
to purge the line. (See
INDEX: “Purging the Gas Line” for further details.)
AT EACH NEW SEASON
At the start of each new grilling season you should remove the grilling racks and check the burners, venturis, orices and valves for obstruc­tions.
Spiders and insects often nest in these areas of the grill and
can disrupt air ow, causing
damage to the grill and personal injury.
Also, check all hoses and
ttings for damage, abrasion,
wear and tear.
Page 11
LIGHTING YOUR GRILL
BEFORE
EACH
USE
Before any use, always make sure that:
 ... you do not smell gas before you light the grill. If you do smell gas, shut every-
thing off and have a qualied
plumber check for leaks.
 … the cooking area is free and clear of any combustibles, besides your food, that might ignite.
 … the control knobs turn freely.
 … if you are using a portable propane cylinder, it is securely connected and leak tested. (See INDEX: “Cylinder
Retention Instructions” for details.)
 … you know where the main gas supply shut-off is located
 … the burners are seated properly in the grill with mounting legs in the slots. The main burners must sit
level and rmly on the burner
support frames. (See INDEX:
“Unpacking and Assembly” for details.)
 … wind is not blowing too strongly or blowing on the back of grill.
WARNING
1. Never attempt to light a burner if you smell gas.
2. Always keep the lid open (side-burner lids must be completely removed) when lighting your grill.
3. Releasing fuel into a closed grill before lighting will increase the risk of explosion, property damage , personal injury or death.
4. Keep your face and body as far from the grill as possible when lighting. Any time a burner doesn’t light within 5 seconds, turn off the control, wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and repeat the lighting procedure.
5. YOU NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
ELECTRIC IGNITION
Before proceeding, make sure you have completed the “Before Each Use” checklist.
Follow these steps to light any of the burners on your grill:
First, make sure all burner control knobs are set to OFF.
FOR THE MAIN BRASS BURNER or ProSear™ 2 BURNER:
Push and hold the control knob in for 2 seconds, allowing the igniter to heat up. Then rotate the knob to “LITE”. After ignition, set the knob to the desired heat setting.
FOR THE ROTISSERIE BURNER:
The rotisserie burner features a thermocouple sensor with a safety valve that automatically
shuts off the ow of gas if the
burner goes out.
“Windy Conditions” for tips on how to prevent burner blow out)
(See INDEX:
To light the rotisserie burner, push and hold the control knob in for 2 seconds and then turn the knob to the “LITE” position.
After ignition CONTINUE HOLDING THE CONTROL KNOB IN for 30 to 60 seconds. During this time the thermocouple will heat up and the safety valve will remain open.
If you release the control knob before the thermocouple has heated up, the safety valve
will shut off the ow of gas to
the rotisserie burner and you will have to re-light the burner.

PRE-HEATING
BASIC GRILLING
TYPES OF COOKING
Pre-heating your grill every time you use it is extremely important. Pre-heating allows
the briquettes to properly
heat up, providing more even and more consistent cooking results.
Pre-heat your grill by igniting all main burners, including the ProSear™ 2 burner, and setting them to “HI”.
Then close the hood and allow the grill to heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Once you’ve reached your desired pre-heat temperature, turn off the burners that you won’t be using to cook your food.
WARNING!
► DO NOT LEAVE THE
GRILL UNATTENDED DURING THE PREHEAT CYCLE OR AT ANY TIME WHILE THE GRILL IS IN USE.
► PREHEATING FOR
MORE THAN 15 MIN­UTES MAY OVERHEAT THE GRILL, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE GRILL.
The main brass burners and the ProSear™ 2 burner in your Lynx grill are capable of creating a range of heat intensities. By varying the heat output, the number of burners used and the position of the hood, you can create either direct or indirect heat or a combination of both and develop a wide variety of succulent recipes. There are two basic types of grilling in an outdoor grill... and
Indirect Heat
DIRECT HEAT
Direct heat cooking occurs when foods are placed directly over the heat source. This form of heat is known as “radiant” heat because the heat radiates directly from the source to the food.
Direct heat is a must when you want to sear the outside
of your food to seal in avor.
Lynx ProSear™ 2 Burners provide the heat necessary to
sear foods and seal in avor.
INDIRECT HEAT
Indirect heat cooking occurs when the food is not close to the heat source. Heat reaches the food via air movement within the cooking area. This form of heat is known as “con­vection” heat.
Indirect, or “convection” cooking is achieved by placing the food on one side of the grill and igniting burners on the other side. You leave the burner below the food “OFF”.
Direct Heat
You should keep the hood closed as much as possible during this type of cooking to maintain even heat around the food. You regulate the heat by adjusting the burner, using the hood thermometer to monitor the temperature.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Lynx grill cooking grids are heavy duty. Dropping them on the ProSear™ 2 burner will damage the burner. Such damage is not covered by the product warranty and will
cause a re, burns or other
personal injury.
ProSear™ 2 CLEANING It’s easy to keep your
ProSear™ 2 burner operating at peak performance. Just run it on “HI” with the hood open for 5 minutes after each use to burn away any food particles or drippings.
Any ash accumulation on the burner screen can be removed with a light brush (like a paint brush) or vacuum … BUT WAIT UNTIL THE BURNER IS COOL!
USING THE pROSEAR™ 2 BURNER
restaurant chefs rely on a different type of heat ... infrared heat ... to
create a higher searing temperature than what standard burners can achieve. So Lynx provides the ProSear™ 2 infrared burner.
Infrared burners work by
focusing the gas ame
through a ceramic element
lled with tiny holes.
These holes focus the
ame
on the
If the grill is already hot from cooking you should still pre-heat the ProSear™ 2 burner for 2-3 minutes, or until it glows red.
Never place food over a ProSear™ 2 burner before it is fully pre-heated because food particles and grease dripping onto a cold ProSear™ 2 burner can clog the tiny ports and damage the burner.
For the same reason you should minimize water spills on the ProSear™ 2 burner and should not use water to
control are-ups. Take special
care to minimize dropping
any liquids on the ProSear
2 burner while cleaning the cooking grids.
surface of the element, creating an intense heat much higher than that of a standard brass burner. It allows you to
sear your food more quickly
while leaving the inside rare, if desired.
The ProSear™ 2 burner, with its advanced components,
requires particular attention to
lighting, usage and cleaning guidelines. See INDEX:
“ProSear™ 2” for further details.
PREHEATING THE PROSEAR™ 2 BURNER
Always preheat the entire grill before cooking to achieve consistent, successful results.
(See INDEX: “Preheating” for further details.)
HOW TO SEAR
Searing locks in avor and
juices while allowing the food’s outer surface to absorb smoke and food-born aromas produced when drippings are vaporized by the burner.
The result is a restaurant-style
nish … crisp, avorful outside
with a tender, juicy inside. While the brass burners in
your grill are capable of producing searing heat, the ProSear™ 2 infrared burner is
specically designed for this
purpose.

Rotisserie cooking provides an

even delivery of heat to your foods. It has no equal. The constant rotation not only cooks
foods evenly, it also self bastes. As juices rise to the surface of the food, they
naturally ow around it as it
rotates. And, by moving the burner out from beneath the food, you avoid scorching
are-ups.
more tender and juicier when slow-roasted on a Lynx’s rotis­serie.
The Lynx rotisserie system consists of four main parts, the motor, the skewer, the forks and the infrared burner.
The Motor
Install the motor by sliding it into one of the slots shown here. Use the top slot for small foods or fast cooking and the lower slot for large foods and slower cooking.
Your foods will be more evenly cooked,
Plug the motor power cord into the motor and into the built-in power outlet on
the rear left panel. Your grill must be plugged into an AC power supply for the rotisserie to work.
Place a basting pan in the grill to prevent food accumulations
on the briquettes and burners.
But BE SURE YOU REMOVE IT before using any of the other burners.
The location of the rotisserie burner makes it more suscep­tible to strong wind conditions (more so than the main grill burners).
For this reason it features a safety valve that automatically closes any time the rotisserie burner is not properly lit … like if it were to extinguish in windy conditions. During windy conditions, it’s best to keep the lid closed and to pe­riodically check the burner.
The Skewer & Forks
The rotisserie can handle large food items up to 50 lbs. You should prepare any item and
rst mount it on the skewer.
Swing the warming rack up and out of the way. It will rest in place.
Then mount the skewer on the grill before lighting the rotis­serie infrared burner. Lighting
the burner rst could result
in burning your hands while trying to mount the skewer on the grill.
It’s okay to remove the grill
racks and even the briquette
trays to make room for large foods on the skewer.
To load the skewer, slide one of the forks onto the skewer. Push the skewer through the center of the food, then slide the second fork onto the skewer. Center the food to be cooked on the skewer then
push the forks rmly together.
Tighten the thumb screws (use pliers if necessary). You should wrap any loose, dangling pieces of food (like wings) with butcher’s string (never use nylon or plastic string).
With the food secured to the skewer slowly roll the skewer in the palms of your hands to check for balance. It should
rotate smoothly. If you nd it
has a heavy side, adjust where the skewer pierces the meat. An unbalanced skewer will cause uneven rotation and uneven cooking. It’s normal
for the skewer to ex with
large foods.

skewer into the motor and rest the other end on the rollers on the other side of the grill.
The notched portion of the skewer must rest on the rollers for proper operation.
The Rotisserie Burner
To light the rotisserie infrared
burner, rst mount the
skewered food item on the grill then follow the rotisserie lighting procedure. (See INDEX:
“Rotisserie Burner, Lighting” for further details.)
Once lit, the rotisserie burner should reach cooking tem­peratures in about 1 minute. It will glow evenly across its surface in about 5 minutes.
NOTE: The grill thermom- eter should not be used for rotisserie cooking. It is not designed to read direct infrared heat.
If the burner will not stay lit when you release the control knob, re-light it and hold the control knob in for at least 60 seconds to allow the thermo­couple to heat up.
If, after holding the control knob in for at least 60 seconds, the burner still will not stay lit when releasing the control knob, call for service.
(See INDEX: “Obtaining service from Lynx” for further details.)
Professional chefs far and wide set their restaurant cuisine apart by cooking
over wood res. Imparting a
delicate hint of wood smoke enhances food, raising your culinary skills to the next level.
Now you can impart that same culinary touch using the Lynx smoker/steamer accessory.
The smoker box will rest directly on
the briquettes
beneath the main racks
over the main brass burners. Do not use the smoker box over the ProSear™ 2 burner as damage to the ProSear™ 2 screen and burner will occur. The smoker box is not designed for, and
will not t over the ProSear™
2 burners.
Wood Chips
There are many wood chips available and selection is based on personal taste. The most common woods used
are mesquite or hickory.
Soak the chips in water for at least 30 minutes before putting them on the slotted
rack in the box. That will slow their burning and provide more smoke.
Extended cooking times, such as with large roasts, may
require adding wood chips
and water to the box several times. Try to limit the number of times you open the hood, as each opening can add as much as 15 minutes to the cooking time.
Use high heat to start the chips smoking, then reduce the heat to prevent them from
drying out and aming up.
The smoker box can also double as a steamer box,
lling it with water instead
of wood. Whether smoking or steaming though, keep the hood closed as much as possible to maximize the effect.
A high quality meat thermom­eter is a good thing to have when smoking your foods because cooking times can vary greatly from one food to the next and from one day to the next.

CLEANING YOUR LYNx GRILL
STAINLESS STEEL
Lynx products are known for their attractive appearance. We achieve this by selecting
only the nest grades of
stainless steel and applying exacting workmanship.
In order to maintain this at­tractive appearance over the life of the grill it is important to take the following steps:
► After each use wipe down the exterior of the grill to remove grease and splatters.
► Be sure to follow the cleaning instructions for keeping the grates and burners clean and ready for use.
► Use a commercially available Stainless Steel cleaner to clean and polish the exterior surfaces.
Doing these things on a regular basis minimizes the
amount of effort required.
Part of the appeal of your Lynx
Grill is the ne grain nish.
When removing stubborn stains:
► Do not use metallic abrasives and always rub in the direction of the grain.
Some household cleaning products are not suitable for stainless steel; be sure to read the label before using on your Lynx Grill.
► Always use the mildest
cleaning solution rst,
scrubbing in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease may gather in the grain of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface, giving the appear- ance of rust.
To remove these baked-on
foods use a ne to medium
grit non-metallic abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in con- junction with a stainless steel cleaner.
Solutions used for
cleaning concrete and masonry can be very corrosive and will ‘attack’ stainless steel. Ensure your Lynx products are well protected before you allow the use of such chemicals near your grill.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR LOCATIONS NEAR POOLS AND COASTAL AREAS
The 304 stainless steel material used in the con­struction of a Lynx Grill is highly rust resistant, however, chlorine in the air from swimming pools or the salt from sea air may cause surface rust to appear and even create some pitting if left on the product.
Here are a few tips to avoid this:
► Regularly wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp
cloth. (Micro ber cloths such
as Ecloth perform very well).
► Allow the surfaces to dry before installing the cover. –do not cover a damp grill.
► In extreme environments apply a rust inhibitor which leaves a microscopic protec­tive layer on the grill. Products that provide a layer of vapor corrosion inhibitors (VpCI™) protect the surface very well.
For seasonal storage use the product referred to above, ensure the grill is dry and then cover and secure the cover to minimize the amount of damp air getting to the surfaces.
THE LYNX LIMITED LIFE TIME WARRANTY PROVIDES PRO­TECTION AGAINST RUST THROUGH OF PARTS THAT RENDER THE PRODUCT INOPERATIVE. IT DOES NOT COVER OCCASIONAL SURFACE RUST OR STAINING DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
After your rst use certain
areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners - this is normal and cannot be cleaned off.
For light and heavy food stains there are many different stainless steel cleaners available.
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray should be cleaned after each use. After the grill is completely cool, remove the drip tray by pulling it out until it stops, then lifting the front edge until the drip tray comes free.
17
Page 18
Clean it with hot soapy water
warning
DO NOT ALLOW EXCESS GREASE OR LIQUIDS TO ACCUMULATE IN THE DRIP TRAY AS THIS MAY CRE- ATE A FIRE HAZARD.
NEVER USE GRILL WITHOUT DRIP TRAY PROPERLY INSTALLED.
warning
PROPER PLACEMENT OF EACH BURNER IS CRITICAL. AFTER CLEANING THEY MUST BE CENTERED ON THE BRASS ORIFICE, RESTING LEVEL WITHOUT ANY ROCKING.
FAILURE TO MEET THESE CONDITIONS MAY CAUSE A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY
AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
or an oven-style cleaning product and re-install. When using an oven-style cleaning product be sure to carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Many of these cleaners are toxic and can damage the stainless steel
nish if not used properly.
Also, check the tray after rain. If you’ve left the grill uncovered, you may need to remove the drip tray drain plug to drain the water from the tray. The drain plug can
be removed with a at-head
screwdriver.
When this happens, let the grill cool completely. Remove the racks and then
the briquette trays by lifting
the front edge and pulling them toward you.
Flip the trays over and put them back in place over the burner. Light the burners and set them to “HI” for 5
- 10 minutes
to burn the briquettes clean.
Any remaining food items can be brushed off using a soft brush.
Be sure the trays have com- pletely cooled before reinstall- ing them.
Replacement briquette trays
can be ordered from Lynx or from your dealer.
Be careful not to change the air shutter position.
To Clean the Brass Burner: To maximize grill perfor-
mance, clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Remove stubborn scale with a metal scraper.
Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port.
Shake out any debris through the air shutter.
Use a ashlight to inspect the
burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked. If obstructions can be seen, clean it with a paper clip or a pipe cleaner.
GRILLING RACKS
The easiest way to clean the grill racks is to do so imme- diately after turning off the burners, while they are still hot. Wearing a long BBQ mitt to protect your hand from steam, dip a brass bristle brush in hot water and scrub the grill rack. Dip the brush
frequently because the steam
helps remove baked-on foods.
CERAMIC BRIQUETTES
The ceramic briquettes
normally burn off any accumu­lated food drippings. But you may occasionally experience larger spills that don’t burn off under normal use.
18
MAIN BRASS BURNERS
Make sure the grill is com­pletely cool before proceed­ing.
Ensure that the gas supply is off and all control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
To Remove Brass Burners:
1. Remove the grill racks and
briquette trays.
2. Lift the burner up until the legs exit the frame.
3. Then pull to the rear of the grill so the burner head
comes off the brass orice at
the front.
4. Angle the burner sideways and lift it out.

TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR LYNx GRILL
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
Please check a few things before calling for service:
► Is there fuel supplied to the grill? ► Is the main shut-off valve open? ► Are you using the correct type of fuel? (LP or Natural Gas) (See INDEX: “Gas Requirements” for further
details.)
Is your propane cylinder empty? Have you recently relled the propane cylinder? If so, is the
connection tight? ► Have you opened the valve on the propane cylinder? ► Is the grill plugged in to a live electric circuit?
If you’ve checked the above items, review the trouble-shooting list below before calling for Lynx for service.
19
Page 20
GRILL WONT LIGHT
pOTENTIAL pROBLEMS
First, conrm that the grill is
getting electricity by turning on the lights, then:
► CHECK THE IGNITERS
Your Lynx grill uses an electric ignition system that does not spark. Instead, the igniters should glow constantly when a control knob is pushed in.
 Ensure that all burner
controls are set to OFF.
 Remove the cooking
grates and briquette trays.
 Watch an igniter as you
push in and hold the cor­responding control knob. You will need either a small mirror or shiny metal object to see the igniter under its cover. (Be sure you push in the correct control knob and keep the knob in the “OFF” position)
Check the remaining
igniters. If igniters don’t glow, proceed with trou- bleshooting or match- light the burner.
► CHECK THE BURNERS
If the igniters are working check to see if gas is reaching the burners by at­tempting to match light a burner.
BE CAREFUL! IF THE BURNER FAILS TO IGNITE, WAIT 5 MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO IGNITE OTHER BURNERS!
INDEX: “Match Lighting” for further details.)
(See
If match lighting doesn’t work, re-check fuel connections for leaks and ensure the supply is of the correct type and is of
adequate pressure. (See INDEX:
Leak Test” for further details.)
If the burner will light with a match, then the igniter may not be functioning correctly. Call for service.
If the burner will not match light, and you know you are getting gas, wait for any gas to dissipate and remove the burner and check it for blockages. (See INDEX: “Clean
the Brass Burner” for further details.)
SMELL OF GAS WHILE COOKING
IF YOU SMELL GAS WHILE THE GRILL IS OPERATING, IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ALL BURNERS AND SHUT OFF THE MAIN FUEL SUPPLY.
► PERFORM A LEAK TEST
(See INDEX: “Leak Test” for further details.)
► CHECK FOR BLOCKAGES
(See INDEX: “Clean the Brass Burner” for further details.)

YELLOW FLAMES
A yellow ame on the main
burners indicates a lack of air. But, if the air around the grill is dusty or if heavy grease is present, some orange tips on
the burner ame are normal.
► ADJUST THE AIR SHUTTER
To adjust for insufcient air,
adjust the air shutter.
INDEX: “Air Shutter Adjustment” for further details.)
(See
LOW OR INSUFFICIENT HEAT
NO PART OF THE GRILL SHOULD EVER BE LINED WITH ALUMINUM FOIL. Doing so will interfere with
airow and can cause a low
heat condition. Ensure that you’ve preheated
the main burners for at least 10 to 15 minutes with the hood closed and the ProSear™ 2 burner for 3 minutes.
Proper leveling during instal- lation is critical. A grill that is out of level will cause erratic burner combustion and inef-
cient, uneven heating. A
carpenter’s spirit level should be used to level the grill both front-to-back and side-to-side.
If the low heat problem persists:
► CHECK THE GAS SUPPLY
LINE SIZING REQUIRE-
MENTS. ► CHECK THE GAS SUPPLY
LINE FOR KINKS OR
DAMAGE.
REPLACE any damaged supply lines.
► CHECK THE REGULATOR
Make sure that the regulator & hose assembly is the one designed for and supplied
with your Lynx grill and that it is correctly set up for the type of fuel you are using.
(See INDEX: “Regulator Conver­sion” for further details.)
The hose and regulator provided by Lynx must be used if your grill is set-up for an LP Gas Cylinder.
Check that there is no physical pressure being applied to the regulator attached to the back of the grill. The regulator contains
a exible diaphragm and
should not be allowed to touch the grill body or its surroundings.
► CHECK FOR OBSTRUC-
TIONS
Ensure that the burners and drip tray are clean and free from obstructions.
LP (PROPANE) UNITS:
IS THE CYLINDER
ALMOST EMPTY?
Almost-empty cylinders may
not have sufcient pressure
to run the burners at high heat.
HAVE THE LINE
PRESSURE CHECKED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNI­CIAN (See INDEX: “Gas
Requirements” for further
details.)
► FLOW LIMITING DEVICE
Improper lighting proce­dures may have activated
the LP cylinder’s ow control
device, reducing the heat output.
To reset the ow control:
 Shut off all burner
controls and close the LP cylinder valve.
 Wait 30 seconds and,
very slowly, reopen the cylinder valve.
 Wait a few seconds and
relite a burner.
► Bulk LP Cylinder Users
Bulk LP cylinder lines must be properly regulated.
Ensure that you are using a 4/11 appliance regulator supplied by Lynx and converted to LP gas. Also ensure that you do not have more than one regulator in line.
NATURAL GAS UNITS:
SUPPLY LINE
Ensure that the supply line is at least 3/4” inside diameter or 1” outside diameter.
► CHECK LINE PRESSURE
Natural gas inlet pressure should be at least 7” W.C. and manifold pressure not less that 4” W.C. under full load (with all burners on.)
► CHECK BURNERS FOR
BLOCKAGES
► CHECK FLAME CHAR-
ACTERISTICS. (See INDEX:
“Flame, Correct Size” )
► CLEAN OR ADJUST AIR
SHUTTER (See INDEX: “Air
Shutter Adjustment.”
WIND HITTING GRILL
Wind hitting the grill while in use, especially winds blowing into or across the hood gap from behind, can cause poor performance and in some cases can cause the control panel to get dangerously hot.
Steady or gusty winds can prevent the normal exhaust of hot gases. Locate your grill away from prevail- ing winds and avoid grilling in windy conditions.
21
Page 22
BURNER GOES OUT
► LOCATION
First determine if the problem is being caused by location. If the grill is subject to high winds, reposition it to provide some protection.
► CHECK THE FLAME
Check the gas supply and
ame characteristics. (See
INDEX: “Flame, Correct Size”)
► BURNERS SEATED
Check to ensure that the burners are correctly posi­tioned in the grill. (See INDEX:
“Burner Placement” for further details.)
Correctly-installed burners
should be seated rmly and
level with no side-to-side movement.
BURNER GOES OUT ONLY WHEN SET TO “LOW”
The valves on the grill feature an adjustable low setting.
Fluctuations in gas pressure, gas conversion and even in
the quality of the gas itself
may affect burner perfor­mance at the “LOW” setting. It could be either too high or too low. (See INDEX: “Burner
Adjustment” for further details.)
ROTISSERIE WON’T LIGHT
Follow the same procedure as described for the grill burners to diagnose problems with the rotisserie burner.
BE CAREFUL! The rotisserie
burner ame may be hard to
see in bright sunny conditions.
ROTISSERIE LIGHTS BUT GOES OUT AS SOON AS CONTROL IS RELEASED
► CHECK
THERMOCOUPLE
The control knob must be held in for 30 to 60 seconds after ignition for the rotis­serie burner to stay lit. (See
INDEX: “Lighting the rotisserie” for further details.)
If the burner will not stay lit when you release the control knob, re-light it and hold the control knob in for at least 60 seconds to allow the ther- mocouple to heat up.
If, after holding the control knob in for at least 60 seconds, the burner still will not stay lit when releasing the control knob, call for service.
(See INDEX: “Obtaining service from Lynx” for further details.)
LIGHTS WON’T LIGHT
CHECK POWER
Ensure that the grill is connected to a live AC power source and check for rotisserie motor operation.
► RESET TRANSFORMER
Disconnect power from the grill and wait 5 minutes for the transformer to cool down and reset. Then reconnect power. If, after resetting the transformer and replacing bulbs, you still do not have power, call for service.
► REPLACE THE BULB
Replacement bulbs are halogen, 12 volt, 10W max, T3 type with a G4 bi-pin base.
The glass cover is held in place by two spring tension tabs. You may have to loosen the screw to remove the lens.
Avoid touching the glass of a new bulb. Halogen bulbs are very sensitive to the oils found in human skin. Touching the bulbs may shorten their life.
PULL ON SPRING TABS TO RELEASE LIGHT COVER
Pull the bulb straight out from the socket without twisting.
The 27” and 30”grills each
have one halogen light xture;
all other grills have two light
xtures.
Hold the bulb using a paper towel or other cloth and gently press it straight into the socket. The glass cover should be gently snapped back into place.

warning
1. Always maintain the required clearances from combustible construction as detailed. The
grill is designed for outdoor use only. NEVER use in a garage, building, shed, breezeway or other enclosed area. This grill shall not be used under any overhead combustible construc­tion.
2. Gas grills are not design certied for and are not to be installed in or on recreational ve-
hicles, portable trailers, boats or any other moving installation.
3. 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 creating a tripping hazard.
4. Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless specically recommended in this manual.
Other service should be performed by a qualied technician.
5. All gas lines must have a shut-off that is readily and easily accessible. Be sure the owner knows where the shut-off is located. 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. (See IN-
DEX: “Leak Testing” for further details.)
warning
1. The outdoor cooking gas appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pres­sures in excess of 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa).
2. The outdoor cooking gas appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply pip-

IMPORTANT NOTES:
Where’s the Wind?
When selecting a suitable location, consider important factors such as exposure
to the wind and foot-trafc
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 airow.
Built-in grills located in areas with prevailing winds should be protected by a wind barrier.
28
Winds hitting the grill directly may cause problems, as well as wind blowing along the
Be sure wind doesn’t blow into the hood gap.
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.)
back
of the
hood gap
.
Are you “on-the-level”?
Proper leveling during instal­lation is critical. A grill that is out of level will cause erratic burner combustion and inef-
cient, uneven heating. A
carpenter’s spirit level should be used to level the grill both front-to-back and side-to-side.
If the oor is uneven or has
a decided slope, re-leveling
may be required each time
you move a freestanding unit.
BUILT-IN INSTALLATIONS:
The Lynx Built-In Grill is designed for easy installation into masonry enclosures.
Page 29
NOTE:
(3” min)
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 at 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

Minimum clearance from sides and back of unit to adjacent combustible con­struction extending above the unit is 18” from the sides and back.
Dégagement horizontal minimal entre les parois latérales et l’arrière de l’appariel et la construction verticale combustible au-
dessus de l’appareil (45.7 cm à partir des parois latérales et
45.7 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 the left side of the grill above the counter top 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 only from your Lynx dealer. Lynx insulated jackets have been designed and tested
specically 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 difcult
to clean.

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 qualied profession­als perform the required
plumbing on this product. To ensure satisfactory per-
formance, the gas supply line must be sized to ac­commodate the total BTU
requirements of all the gas­red equipment that will be
connected to that line. In no case should 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
specic model ouputs)
► A gas shut-off valve must
be installed in an easily accessible location by a
qualied plumber.

► Keep threading compound
Keep last two threads clean
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 ll the cylinder beyond 80
percent full If the information above is not

death or serious injury may occur.
off of the rst two pipe
threads to avoid having any small pieces of compound break loose and clog a burner valve or
orice. Do not use
threading compound on any are ttings.
For built-in installations, it is rec-
ommended that any exible
pipe used be kept as short as possible. (See INDEX: “Gas
Connections” for typical permanent hook up.)
For
freestanding
units using
natural gas, Lynx strongly
recommends using a quick
disconnect kit.
This Quick Disconnect kit, part #LQD, is available 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 ttings
necessary to attach the assembly to the grill are included.
LP cylinder with type 1 valve connection
34
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 identied
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.
LP Cylinder Requirements
The LP cylinder must be con­structed and marked in accor-
dance with the specications
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 rell, exchange
only for a Type 1 20lb cylinder
with an over-ll 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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
warning - ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
► Product installation must meet local electric codes or, in the absence of local codes, the latest
edition of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code CGA 1.6b2005.
► Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) protected circuit with this outdoor cooking gas ap-
pliance.
IMPORTANT: When connecting your rotisserie motor, rst connect the motor to the grill and
then plug the grill into the outlet.
This grill is equipped with a three prong (grounding) electric plug for your protection against
shock hazard and must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong outlet. NEVER cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
Use only extension cords with a 3 prong grounding plug, rated for the power of the equip-
ment, and approved for outdoor use with a “W-A” marking.
► To protect against electric shock, do not immerse any part of the power cord, an extension
cord or any plugs in water or other liquid.
► Unplug the product from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow it to cool
before putting on or taking off parts.
► Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.
► Do not use an outdoor cooking gas appliance for purposes other than intended.
► Do not operate any outdoor cooking gas appliance with a damaged cord, plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer for repair.
CONNECTION TO AC
Installation requires an
outdoor 120VAC 15A GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) electrical outlet adjacent to the grill.
The GFI outlet features an internal breaker that reduces shock hazard. This type of outlet should be installed by
a qualied electrician either
inside the island enclosure for built-in units, or near the location where a free-standing unit will be used.
For built-in grills, the supplied 12V transformer is connected to the grill during installation.
When installing the trans­former to the grill be careful to prevent the wiring and transformer from contacting any hot surfaces behind or below the grill. It is recom­mended that the transformer be located below the grill in a readily accessible location.
Be sure to provide adequate
access to facilitate service if
the transformer or connec­tions should need future main­tenance.
If the electrical system fails to operate, a connection may have come loose in shipping or the GFI may have tripped,
requiring a reset. See the
Troubleshooting section for more details.

LP Connections
Danger!
To prevent re or explosion hazard, DO NOT smoke or allow any potential source of ignition (sparks, electri- cal arcing, etc) in the area while performing a leak test. Leak tests should be conducted outdoors only. Never conduct a leak test using re or ame.
Make sure the LP cylinder valve is fully closed. It is possible for the valve to be open without releasing gas but, as soon as you start con­necting the regulator, gas will leak from the connection.
Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve and turn the black coupler clockwise until the coupler is hand tight. Do not over-tighten this connec­tion.
To disconnect the coupler, rst
make sure the main cylinder valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counter clockwise. The inlet will then disengage.
Always leak-test the connec­tion after relling or exchang­ing LP cylinders. (See INDEX:
“Leak Test” for further details.)
GAS LINE PURGING
You should purge the gas line of air before attempting to light the grill.
► Make sure all grill controls
are in the “OFF” position.
► Slowly turn on the main
gas supply.
► Push in the rotisserie knob
and conrm that the igniter
is glowing. It is furthest from the fuel source and will completely purge the lines. It will take several seconds for the burner to light.
► Hold the knob ON for
about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge and the burner to light
► Wait at least 5 minutes
after shutting off the control before attempting to light the burners.
FINAL CHECKS
LEAK TESTING
Leak Test Procedure:
► Create a soapy solution
of 1 part soap and 3 parts water.
Conrm that all control
knobs are in the off position.
Turn on the fuel supply. For
natural gas, turn the valve handle 1/4 turn to align
with the gas ow.
For L.P., turn the cylinder
valve knob counter clockwise one full rotation.
► Apply the soap solution
generously by paint brush
or squirt bottle on all con­nections and ttings.
► If bubbles appear to
“grow” on any of the con­nections, you have a gas leak. IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas supply.
Fixing a Gas Leak
► Shut off the gas supply ► Turn all grill controls to
the “ON” position to purge the grill of any gas build-up, then turn the controls back “OFF”.
► Wash off the soapy solution
with cold water and dry.
► Tighten the loose joint, or
replace the faulty part with manufacturer-recommend­ed replacement parts.
► DO NOT attempt to repair
the L.P. cylinder valve if it is damaged. The only way to safely resolve a damaged cylinder is to REPLACE IT.
Repeat the leak test to
ensure that no leaks are present.
LOW HEAT BURNER ADJUSTMENT
FOR MAIN BRASS BURNERS AND SIDE BURNERS ONLY!
DO NOT ADJUST THE ROTISSERIE BURNER.
The main brass burners and side burners on your Lynx grill feature an adjustable low setting.
Fluctuations in gas pressure, gas conversion and even in
the quality of the gas itself
may affect burner perfor­mance at the “LOW” setting. It could be either too high or too low.
To adjust the burner low setting:
► Make sure the grill is cool. ► Remove the racks so you
can see the ames while
adjusting the burners.
► Light the burner and allow
it to preheat on high for 3 minutes.
► Turn the burner to “LO”.
37
Page 38
► Pull off the control knob.
danger!
Be extremely careful around hot Burners and other grill parts.
► While holding the valve shaft
with pliers as shown insert a
small at screwdriver into the
center shaft and adjust the
ame’s low setting.
Clockwise will lower the ame
setting, counterclockwise will raise it.
The proper setting is where
the ame is stable at its lowest setting. A slight utter will be
present in the crossover portion of the front of the burner before the burner itself becomes weak.
The factory setting for propane gas is ½ to ¾ turn from the very bottom of the adjustment. The setting for natural gas is 1-½ to 1-¾ from the bottom. After the low settings are proper, turn all burners to high for visual in­spection.
BRASS BURNER FLAME/AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
The amount of air that enters a burner is controlled by the
shutter
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment. However, uctua­tions in gas pressure, gas con-
version and even in the quality
of the gas itself may make it necessary to adjust the burner.
The ames of the main brass
burners should be visually checked.
Flames should be blue and stable with slight yellow tips. The bright-blue core should be about
3/8 inch high with a total ame
height of about 1 1/2 inches.
38
.
air
The ames should burn quietly.
(no “torch” sounds) and they should not “lift” up from the burner.
If your ames do not match
those indicated in the photo, ensure that the air shutter and burner ports are free and clear of dirt, debris, or spider webs. If clear, then adjust the air shutter.
It is locked in place by a screw which must be loosened before adjusting. Once adjusted retighten the screw.
To Adjust:
Remove the racks and
briquette trays.
► Lift out the burner, loosen
the set screw and then put the burner back in place and light it.
If the ame is excessively
yellow, indicating insuf-
cient air, CAREFULLY turn
the air shutter counter­clockwise to allow more air to the burner.
If the ame is noisy (sounds
like a torch) and tends to lift away from the burner, indi­cating too much air, turn the air shutter clockwise.
► After the burner cools
down, remove it, tighten the air shutter set screw and
reinstall the burner, briquette
trays and grill racks.
NOTE: The ProSear™ 2 does not have an air shutter.
The appearance of the
ProSear™ 2 burner should be visually checked. The ceramic tiles should be uniformly red to orange in appearance. There should
be no lifting, uttering or lazy blue ames. Some food
particles will show as yellow
ames but should burn off.
ONE LAST THING:
Finally, before leaving, check all the burners for proper operation. Make sure the control knobs turn freely and completely through their full range.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the owner knows
where the main gas supply shut off valve is located.
Finally, for safety and for proper use & care, you must leave this manual with the owner. Make sure you advise them to keep it for future reference.
