WARNINGS
PLEASE REVIEW THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL.
WARNING
1. Do not open the central electronics container as there are no user-serviceable parts inside, and doing so will
void all warranties. All other services should be performed by a qualified technician.
2. All gas lines must have a gas shut-off valve that is readily and easily accessible. Be sure you know 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 flame. (See INDEX: “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 piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS
1. Massachusetts requires all gas be installed using a plumber or gas fitter carrying the appropriate
Massachusetts license.
2. All permanently-installed natural gas or propane installations require a “T” handle type manual gas valve be
installed in the gas supply line to this appliance.
3. This does not apply to portable propane installations using a 20 pound cylinder.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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

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 efficiently. 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS...(continued)
8. Do not heat unopened food containers as pressurebuild-up will cause the container to explode.
9. Do not use aluminum foil to line grill racks or drip pans.This will alter the airflow or trap excessive heat in thecontrol area and can melt control knobs and ignitionmodules. Such damage is specifically excluded fromyour warranty.
10. Never use charcoal or any other solid fuel in the grill.
11. Cooking excessively fatty meats and oils will causeflare ups. Internal fires or damage caused by doingso or by the grill being left unattended while cookingare not covered under the terms and conditions of ourwarranty.
12. Never grill without the drip pan in place. Always ensurethe drip pan is pushed all the way to the back of thegrill. Hot grease can leak downward and produce a fireor explosion.
13. Grease is extremely flammable. Let hot grease cooldown before attempting to handle or dispose of it. Thedrip tray and bottom of the firebox should be cleanedof grease on a regular basis.
14. Do not use the grill unless a leak check has beenperformed on all gas connections. (See INDEX: “LeakTest Procedure” for further details.)
15. Never operate the grill while under the influence ofalcohol or drugs.
16. Do not lean on side shelves and never place a loadweighing more than 25 pounds on a side shelf.
17. If any burner does not light or goes out duringoperation, turn off all gas control knobs, open the hoodand wait five (5) minutes before attempting to re-light.
18. Portable LP cylinders: Always shut off the main valve onthe LP cylinder after each use.
19. Spiders and insects like to nest in the burners, venturis,valves and orifices of a grill, disrupting the gas flow.This very dangerous condition can cause a fire behindthe control panel, damaging the grill and riskingpersonal injury. If your grill has been unused for a longtime, inspect and clean the burners, venturis, valvesand orifices. (See INDEX: “Cleaning your Lynx Grill” forfurther details.)
GRILLING IN WINDY CONDITIONS
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.
Using your grill in windy conditions may disrupt the front-toback air flow. If, while grilling with all burners on high and
the hood closed, you notice that the temperature 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.
Air enters through the front of the grill.
Wind hitting the back
of the grill can disrupt
proper exhaust.
Your Lynx grill features an exclusive, patent-pending Heat
Stabilizer that will deflect 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 prevailing winds are not blowing into the
rear of the grill.
Please Note: Any damage caused from use in windy
conditions, such as melted knobs or igniter wires,
or control panel discoloration from heat buildup, is
excluded from warranty coverage.

BUILT-IN INSTALLATIONS
CLEARANCE TO NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Non-combustible materials may make direct contact
with the edges of the firebox body up to the top surface
of the firebox. Below the counter top surface the
non-combustibles should not encroach on the cutout
dimensions defined in this manual for both fit, access to
service and airflow.
Above the counter top a minimum clearance of 6” is
needed on the left side of the grill for the motor and
skewer if you have a rotisserie model grill. At least 6” of
clearance on the right side is recommended as well.
A 3 inch clearance is required immediately behind the
grill to allow the front hood to open. The grill exhausts
combustion products and cooking greases to the back of
the unit. Never locate the grill where this residue will be
difficult to clean.
Any non-combustible overhead surfaces must be at least
6 feet above the counter top surface. A vent hood may be
closer to the counter top surface than 6 feet.
The SmartGrill by Lynx™ built-in grill is designed for easy
installation into masonry enclosures.
NOTE: Lynx built-in SmartGrills are intended either for
installation in a built-in enclosure constructed of noncombustible material or for an installation to 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 Page 12:
“Gas Connections”) 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
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 back.
Dégagement minimal entre les parois latérales et
l’arrière de l’appareil 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).

Do not use this appliance under unprotected overhead
combustible surfaces.
Ne pas utiliser cet appareil en-dessous de surfaces
combustibles non protégées.
If the grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure,
an approved insulated jacket is necessary and is
available only from Lynx or your Lynx dealer. Lynx
insulated jackets have been designed and tested
specifically for your Grill.
OVERHEAD PROTECTION AND EXHAUST REMOVAL
If the grill is installed under any combustible construction
the cooking area over the grill must be covered with an
outdoor approved exhaust hood. The hood must provide 3
to 6 inches of overhang on all exposed sides. The bottom
of the hood should be positioned at least 36 inches above
the counter top surface. The exhaust hood shall provide no
less than 1200 CFM for proper exhaust ventilation and it
must be provided with a dedicated GFCI protected branch
circuit.
The grill exhausts combustion products and cooking
greases to the back. Never locate the grill where this
exhaust will be difficult to clean.
SPECIFICATIONS AND INSTALLATION
The guides, measurements and dimensions detailed below
are designed to assist you with planning your outdoor
kitchen.
NOTE: Due to continuing product innovation, specifications
are subject to change without notice.
IMPORTANT: Please reference the Care & Use/Installation
manual for details on gas plumbing requirements,
electrical specifications and the proper installation of your
Lynx outdoor kitchen equipment. This manual can be
downloaded from the Lynx Web site at www.lynxgrills.com.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
HOW LONG IS YOUR RUN?
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible. Gas lines lose
pressure over distance and with each elbow and tee that is
added. This drop in pressure affects the grill’s performance.
(See INDEX: “Gas Supply Line Runs” for further details.)
BE SURE YOUR GRILL IS LEVEL
REAR HOOD CLEARANCE
A 3 inch clearance is required behind the grill to provide
unobstructed opening of the hood.
Proper levelling during installation is critical to the smooth
operation of your SmartGrill by Lynx™. 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 pronounced slope, re-leveling
may be required each time you move a freestanding
SmartGrill by Lynx™.

GAS CONNECTIONS
Keep last two threads clean
The SmartGrill by Lynx™ is factory set to use either
liquid propane or natural gas. It is critical that the gas
you use matches that for which the grill was set up. You
can verify this by checking the rating plate.
The rating plate lists serial numbers, model numbers and
gas type and is located in one or more of the following
places:
• Attached to the underside of the drip tray
• On the back of the Care & Use manual
• On the PC case
Ensure that the gas supplied meets with the minimum
pressure requirements. Do not operate the grill with any
gas other than that for which the grill has been set.

GAS CONVERSION KITS
Gas conversion kits are available from Lynx grills to allow
the SmartGrill by Lynx™ to operate on either natural gas
or liquid propane gas. These kits should be installed by a
qualified technician.
NATURAL GAS
Lynx Grills 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 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.
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.)
The kits come with complete installation instructions. These
instructions should be read completely and fully.
All installation and all installation parts must conform to local

LIQUID PROPANE GAS
Grills set up for liquid propane gas come equipped witha liquid propane hose/ regulator assembly for connectionto a standard 20 lb. Liquid propane cylinder (Type 1). Allfittings necessary to attach the assembly to the grill areincluded.
Permanently plumbed liquid propane connections, such asthose 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 isset for the proper fuel type. This is done by removing theregulator cap and gasket and looking at the bottom of theplunger to see what fuel type is visible. This is the regulatorfuel setting. NAT is for natural gas and LP is for propanegas. The LP setting can be further identified by the largediameter disk on the bottom of the plunger. To changefrom one gas to the other, simply push the plunger to theside to snap it out of the cap, turn the plunger so it readsthe desired gas type on the bottom, and push the plungeruntil it snaps back into place in the cap and then replacethe cap into the regulator.
NEVER CONNECT AN UNREGULATED GAS LINE TOTHE GRILL.
Liquid Propane Cylinder Requirements
The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked inaccordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders ofthe U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and designedfor use with a Type 1 system only.
Cylinders of free standing grills must be secured using theprovided cylinder retention system to avoid accidentalmovement. Make sure the hose between the grill and the
propane bottle does not touch the back or bottom of thefirebox.
When exchanging your cylinder for a refill, exchange onlyfor 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 shouldbe avoided. If in doubt, have it checked by your liquidpropane supplier.
Always check for leaks after every liquid propane cylinderchange. (See INDEX: “Leak Test” for further details.)
Always shut off the liquid propane gas supply at the
cylinder when theSmartGrill is not in use.
Cylinders must be storedoutdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the
reach of children. If yourgrill is stored indoors, the liquid propane cylinder must bestored outside.
Liquid Propane Connections
Make sure the liquid propane cylinder valve is completelyclosed. It is possible for the valve to be opened withoutreleasing gas, but as soon as you start connecting theregulator, gas can flow from the connection.
Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve and turn theblack coupler clockwise until the coupler is hand tight. Donot over-tighten this connection.
To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main cylindervalve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counter-clockwise. The inlet will then disengage.

WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
• Product installation must meet local electrical 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 CSA C22.1.
• Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) protected circuit with this outdoor cooking gas appliance.
• Do not use this outdoor cooking appliance if it has been submerged underwater without a thorough inspection by
a qualified technician.
• This grill is equipped with a three-prong (grounded) 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 three-prong grounding plug, rated for the power of the equipment 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 before thorough cleaning. Allow it to cool before putting on or taking off parts.

CONNECTION TO AC POWER
Installation requires an outdoor 120VAC 15A GFI (Ground
Fault Interrupter) electrical outlet adjacent to the SmartGrill
by Lynx™.
The GFI outlet features an internal break that reduces
shock hazard. This type of outlet should be installed by a
qualified electrician either inside the island enclosure for
built-in units, or near the location where a free standing unit
will be used.
If the electrical system fails to operate, a connection may
have come loose in shipping or the GFI may have tripped
requiring a re-set. See the Troubleshooting section for
more details.
A side burner or power burner can be connected to your
SmartGrill with the wiring connection in the back of each
unit. Ask your dealer or call Lynx at 888-289-5969 for more

conducted outdoors only. Never conduct a leak
test using fire or flame.
Leak Test Procedure:
• Create a soapy solution of 1 part soap and 3 parts water.
• Confirm that all control dials 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 flow.
• For L.P., turn the cylinder valve dial counter clockwise one
full rotation.
• Apply the soap solution generously by paint brush or
squirt bottle on all connections and fittings.
• If bubbles appear to “grow” on any of the connections,
you have a gas leak. IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas
supply.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure you know where the main gas supply shut-off
valve is located.
Finally, for safety and for proper use and care, you must
have this manual. Please keep it somewhere safe for
future reference.

SIMULTANEOUS MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC CONTROL
When beginning a Recipe Cook or Timed Cook, your
SmartGrill by Lynx™ will automatically default to using
burner number 1. This can be changed through the use
of verbal commands (See INDEX: “Voice Commands”).
During this cooking process, the other burners can be used
in manual mode by turning their corresponding dials to the
desired temperature.
DIRECT HEATING
Direct heat cooking occurs when food is placed directly
over the heat source. This form of heat is know 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 flavor. Lynx ProSear™2 Burners provide
the heat necessary to sear foods and seal in flavor.
INDIRECT HEATING
It is possible to turn on burners 1 and 3 and place the
food over burner 2. This type of cooking is called “indirect
heating” and can only be achieved under manual control.
All recipes in Timed Cook, Recipe Cook, Meal Mode, and
Party Mode must be done via direct heating.
CANCELLATION COMMANDS
Command: “SmartGrill, Cancel <RecipeName>”
Function: This command will cancel the selected recipe.
The SmartGrill by Lynx™ will then ask if you wish to shut
down the burners or continue cooking in Manual mode.
Note that this command does not shut off the grill.
Command: "SmartGrill, Override <RecipeName>"
Function: This command will cancel the ongoing recipe
and leave the burners on for manual usage.
Command: “SmartGrill, Turn off burners.”

STAINLESS STEEL
Lynx products are known for their attractive appearance.
We achieve this by selecting only the finest 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 turn your Listen Mode back on at the end of
your grilling session. If you do not turn it back on, the next
time you start SmartGrill, it will not respond to your voice
commands.
To turn Listen Mode back on:
• Press the SmartGrill menu icon.
• At the bottom of the menu under “Grill Controls”, press
the “Listen Mode” icon. The X should disappear, and your
SmartGrill will be able to listen.
• Be sure to follow the cleaning instructions for keeping the
cooking surface 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 SmartGrill by Lynx™ is the
fine grain finish. When removing stubborn stains:
28
CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
|
• Do not use metallic abrasives and always rub in the
CLEANING YOUR SMARTGRILL BY LYNX™ ...continued
direction of the grain.
• Some household cleaning products are not suitable for
stainless steel and high heat; be sure to read the label
before using on your SmartGrill by Lynx™.
• Always use the mildest cleaning solution first, scrubbing
in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease may gather
in the grain of the stainless steel and bake onto the
surface, giving the appearance of rust.
To remove these baked on foods, use a fine to medium
grit non-metallic abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in
conjunction 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.
THE LYNX LIMITED LIFETIME 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 first 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
forward and up, lifting it out.
It can be wiped down with a paper towel.
WARNING
DO NOT ALLOW EXCESS GREASE OR LIQUIDS
TO ACCUMULATE IN THE DRIP TRAY AS THIS
MAY CREATE A FIRE HAZARD.
NEVER USE GRILL WITHOUT DRIP TRAY
PROPERLY INSTALLED.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR LOCATIONS NEAR POOLS AND
COASTAL AREAS:
The 304 stainless steel material used in the construction of
a Lynx SmartGrill by Lynx™ is highly rust resistant, however
chlorine in the air from swimming pools or salt in the 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 fiber 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 (VpCl™)
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.
PROSEAR2 BURNERS
With the hood up, turn all burners on high for 5 minutes.
Do not touch the ceramic surfaces, and do not use water or
cleaner on the ceramic surface. Do not poke anything into
the holes in the ceramic.
Every three to six months, remove the burners and inspect
the venturi (inlet) and orifice to ensure they are free of
obstructions.
Food debris on the inside of the burners can be gently
shaken out.
While the burners are removed, remove the grease and
debris off the bottom of the firebox.
When re-installing the ProSear™2 burners, be sure to
correctly position the burners.

• Once the SmartGrill by Lynx™ has successfully accessed your home network, you will receive a “Success” message.
Once you have successfully connected the SmartGrill by Lynx™ to your home network, you may have to return to your device’s “Settings” app and reconnect with your home network.
FACTORY RESET
If needed, the Wi-Fi setting in your grill can be reset. Press the power button to turn the grill off. Then press and hold the Power button in the OFF position for 15 seconds.
If a factory reset is done, you will have to setup your Wi-Fi connection again. Please refer to the Quick Start Guide for setup procedure.
GRILL WON’T LIGHT
First, confirm that the grill is getting electricity by checking the lights that surround the dials on the front panel of your SmartGrill by Lynx™.
Check the Igniters
Your Lynx SmartGrill by Lynx™ uses an electric ignition system that does not spark. Instead the igniters will glow
constantly when a control knob is turned on. If one of your igniters is not working, SmartGrill will say or send you a text of "Igniter Failure".
• Ensure that all burners are set to OFF
• Remove a cooking grate so you can clearly see the igniter.
• Turn the burner knob ON (two full rotations clockwise) and wait approximately one minute for the igniter to glow.
• Check all igniters. If they do not glow, call Lynx for service at 888-289-5969.
Check the Burners
If your burner fails to ignite, SmartGrill will text or say "Burner <N> has no flame." If the burner has no flame, SmartGrill will turn off the gas to that burner.
Be careful! If the burner fails to ignite, wait five minutes before attempting to ignite other burners!
Check to make sure your gas line is connected and the shut off valve is turned on. Re-check fuel connections for leaks and ensure the supply is of the correct type and is of adequate pressure. (See INDEX: “Leak Test Procedure” for further details.)
If you know you are getting gas, wait for any gas to dissipate and remove the burner and check for gas blockages.
Replace any damaged supply lines.
• Check the regulator.
Make sure that the regulator and 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 Grills must be used if your grill is set up for use with a liquid propane 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 flexible diaphragm and should not be allowed to touch the grill body or its surroundings.
• Check for obstructions.
Ensure that the burners and the drip tray are clean and free from obstructions.
Liquid Propane Units:

TROUBLESHOOTING ...continued
• Is the cylinder almost empty?
Almost empty cylinders may not have sufficient pressure to run the burners at high heat.
• Have the line pressure checked by a qualified technician.
• Flow limiting device.Improper lighting procedure may have activated the liquid
propane cylinder’s flow control device, reducing heat output.
To reset the flow control:
• Shut off all burner controls and close the liquid propane cylinder valve.
• Open one gas valve to relieve any pressure in the LPhose, then close the gas valve
• Wait 30 seconds and, very slowly, reopen the cylindervalve.
Wait a few seconds and relight a burner.
Bulk Liquid Propane cylinder users:
Bulk liquid propane cylinder lines must be properlyregulated.
Ensure that you are using a 4/11 appliance regulatorsupplied by Lynx and converted to liquid propane gas.Also, ensure that you do not have more than one regulatorin line.
Natural Gas Units:
• Supply line
Ensure that the supply line is at least ¾” inside diameter or1” outside diameter.
• Check Line pressure
Natural gas inlet pressure should be at least 5” W.C. andmanifold pressure not less than 4” W.C. under full load(with all burners on).
• Check burners for blockages.
LOW OR INSUFFICIENT HEAT
Proper levelling during installation is critical. A grill thatis out of level will cause erratic burner combustion andinefficient, uneven heating. A carpenter’s spirit level shouldbe 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 requirements.
• Check the gas supply line for kinks or damage.
• Check the thermostatic control for proper operation.
LIGHTS WON’T LIGHT
• For the blue LED lights and white halogen lights
• Check power
Ensure that the grill is connected to a live AC powersource.

NETWORK TROUBLESHOOTING
If you do not have at least a 60% signal on your smart
device while standing at your grill, your grill will not perform
optimally. Here are some suggestions for improving your
network:
Position your wireless router, modem router, or access point
in a central location. The best place for a Wi-Fi router is in
the center of your home.
• The distance between your router and your SmartGrill
should not exceed 50 ft.
• Verify that there are no obstacles between your SmartGrill
and the router.
• Appliances, metal objects, cordless phones, stone walls,
fireplaces, etc. decrease Wi-Fi strength.
• Check the cable that connects the modem to the router
to make sure it is in good condition. If not, replace the
cable.
• Replace your router antenna with a Hi-Gain wireless
antenna. They boost the signal strength and aim the
signal in one direction.
• Reduce wireless interferences by using devices that
communicate via the 5.0 GHz frequency instead of the
more common 2.4 GHz frequency (same frequency as
baby monitors, garage door openers, cordless phones,
microwave ovens).
• Connect your SmartGrill to your router using a CAT 5E
or better cable and then try to setup a wired network
connection.
Indicates that a knob is missing or not connecting to the
grill correctly. The grill will turn that burner off until the
knob is fixed. Replace any knob that has been removed or
fallen off. If the problem persists, call Lynx at 888-289-5969.
Audible: "Burner <N> gas valve is malfunctioning."
Text: "Burner <N> gas valve has malfunctioned."
Indicates gas is not flowing through the valve. Check to be
sure the gas is turned on, and there is enough gas in your
propane bottle. The grill will turn this burner off until the
valve is fixed. Call Lynx at 888-289-5969.
Audible: "Burner<N> valve short circuit."
Text: "Burner<N> gas valve has short circuited."
Add a wireless repeater
A wireless repeater is a device that extends your wireless
network's range without requiring you to add any wiring.
Place the repeater halfway between your wireless router
and your SmartGrill to get an instant boost in your wireless
strength.
Add an extended antenna
Sometimes when a SmartGrill is built-in to an island, the
antenna cannot pickup a strong enough signal to run the
SmartGrill. If this is the issue, please call Lynx to request an
antenna extension at 888-289-5969 option 5.
For additional troubleshooting of wireless connections,
contact your local Wi-Fi installation expert.
