below. All hardware is supplied in the Hardware Kit (302).

(See the enlarged detail.)

end of the Grill. Screw a bolt with washers into each of the four nut inserts, but
do not tighten at this step.

tighten.

INSTALLING THE HEAT BAFFLE:

Install the Heat Baffle (310) directly over the Firepot Assembly (222) on the locating
brackets found on the bottom of the Firebox. The notched legs of the Heat Baffle (310)
should be facing downward to fit onto the locating brackets.

POSITIONING THE GREASE DRAIN PAN:

RECOMMENDATION for ease of clean-up: Line the Grease Drain Pan (313) with
heavy-duty aluminum foil. Be sure the edges and ends of the foil are tight against
the bottom of the Grease Drain Pan (313).

Position the Grease Drain Pan (313) over the Heat Baffle (310) so that the Short Lip
end hooks over the Grease Drain Pan Support on the left side of the Firebox. The Long
Lip end should rest in the V-Shaped Grease Drain (178) located inside the Firebox on
the right.
