Most importantly, this is an outdoor appliance. Ensure your barbecue is
positioned safely away from anything that can catch fire.
Under no circumstances is this barbecue to be used indoors. This
includes garages or any other enclosed area.
Clearance from Combustibles: Ensure your barbecue remains at a distance
of at least 24” from any combustible material such as wood, gyprock, paper
and plants. Do not store combustible materials, gasoline or flammable liquids
or vapors within 48” of the barbecue. Do not locate under unprotected
combustible materials. Do not store ANY types of chemicals in a cabinet near
the grill or any stainless components, doors, drawers, etc.
Wind Guard: WARNING! Your RCS grill should NOT be installed with the back of the grill
facing frequent, prevai ling winds like a large body of w ater or open space unless there is a
substantial back splash or some way of blocking the wind. In some rare occur rences, when
there is a strong wind present, it c an cause heat that is norm ally exhausted thr ough the rear
ports to be forced back into the grill and may cause overheating of the control panel and
controls. Damage caused by this type of installation is not covered by warranty. If you are
experiencing this problem , please contact us to order a wind guard which may or may not

6. Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or near the appliance. Do not

8. Protect your hand with a glove or mitt when opening and operating the grill. Open grill lid
slowly to allow heat and smoke to escape before fully opening.
9. Never use aluminum foil to line the crumb pan or grill racks. This can alter airflow for
proper combustion and also build up heat in the control area causing the knobs and
igniters to melt and void your grill warranty.
10. Grease is highly flammable. Allow hot grease to cool down before attempting to
handle it. Clean grease tray often so that grease does not accu mulate and st ay i n it which
may cause a fire.

Gas Connections
Check gas type – use only the type of gas indicated in the rating plate.
Do NOT connect an unregulated gas source to the appliance. You MUST use the
regulator(s) that are available from RCS.
Safe and satisfactory operation depends to a great extent on the proper installation of the
appliance. The installation must comply with the local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with
either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CGA – B149.1 or 149.2.
Installer supplied manual gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location in the
gas supply line ahead of the pressure regulator (4”W. C.).
The outdoor cooking gas appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during any pressure tes t ing of the s ystem at test pressur es in excess of
Psi (3.5kPa). Over-pressure will cause the valves to fail!
The supply line must be sized and installed to provide a sufficient supply of gas to meet the
maximum demand of the grill without undue loss of pressure. The sealant used on the threaded
joints of the gas pipe must be a type resistant to the action of LP gases.
