Safety and Installation Instructions

Location of your Barbecue

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 fr equent, prevailing winds li ke a large body of water or open space unle ss there is a
substantial back spl ash or some way of blocking the wind. In some rare occurrenc es, when
there is a strong wind present, it can cause heat that is normally exhausted through 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
solve your problem but may be a possible alter native to changing the loc ation of the grill if it

BEFORE AFTER

Adequate Ventilation: Ensure there is adequate ventilation for both the

barbecue and cylinder. This is required for proper combustion and to prevent
gas build up.

Firm Level Surface: Use your barbecue only on a firm level surface. This
barbecue is not designed for recreational vehicles, and shall not be installed
on a boat or any marine craft.

Protection from Weather: Keep the barbecue protected from adverse
weather, including rain and high winds. Polyvinyl covers are available that
have been specially designed for this range of barbecues. Allow clear access
to the entire gas supply hose and regulator.

Maintenan ce A ccess: When your barbecue is installed, you should be able to
access the gas supply line including the gas piping or hose, gas regulator, gas
cylinder and any shut off valves.

Partial Enclosures: Many backyards have areas that are partially closed off,
such as balconies and pergolas. In some cases, it is hard to decide whether
these partial ly enclos ed ar eas shou ld b e clas s ified as indoor a reas, p articularly
in terms of permanent (non-closable) ventilation. The gas safety authorities
have agreed on the definition of partial enclosures below (See page 7).

recommended in this manual. All other services should be performed by a qualified
service technician.

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

wear loose-fitting clothes or long sleeves while using the grill as some fabrics may be
highly flammable.

7. Children shou ld be carefully supe r vised when they are in the vicinity of the grill. Do not

allow them to get close to the grill while in use. Items of interest to children should not
be stored in or around the grill in the cabinet or in the masonry enclosure. Portions of the

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. Greas e is hi g hl y flam m a bl e . Allow hot gre ase to cool dow n before att em pting to
