• Children should never be left alone or unattended in an area where a grill is located. Place your grill well away from
areas where children play. Do not store items that may interest children in or around the grill, in the cart, or in the
masonry enclosure.
• Never move the grill when hot. When in use, portions of the grill are hot enough to cause severe burns.
• Always maintain the required clearances from combustibles as detailed. The grill is designed for outdoor use only.
Never use in a garage, building, shed, breezeway, or other enclosed area. Do not use this grill under any unprotect-
ed overhead combustible construction.
• Gas grills are not designed or certi ed for and are not to be installed in or on recreational vehicles, portable trailers,

• 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 tripping hazard.
• 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.
• If the grill is installed by a professional installer or technician, be sure that he/she shows you where your gas supply
shut-o is located. All gas lines must have a shut-o that is readily and easily accessible. If you smell gas, check for
gas leaks immediately. Check only with a soap and water solution. (See INDEX: “Leak Testing” for further details.)
Never check for gas leaks with an open ame.
• Inspect the L.P. gas supply hose prior to each use of the grill. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or
the hose is cut, it must be replaced before using the grill.

damage and personal injury.
• Never locate the grill under a roof or overhang, in a building, garage, shed or other such enclosed area.
• Never locate the grill under unprotected combustible construction.
• Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI

Be certain any visible damage to the carton is noted on freight
bill or express receipt and signed by the person making delivery.
FILE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES IMMEDIATELY, regardless of extent of
damage.
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE
WHERE’S THE WIND
hen selecting a suitable location, consider important factors
such as exposure to the wind and foot-tra c patterns
If you have a freestanding grill, position it so the prevailing wind
blows into the front control panel (at
supportin
Built-in grills located in areas with prevailing winds should be
protected by a wind barrier.

If damage is unnoticed until the grill is unpacked, notify the
transportation company or carrier immediately and le a
“concealed damage” claim with them. This should be done
within (15) days of the date delivery is made to you. Be sure
to hold on to the container for inspection. We cannot assume
responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit. (See INDEX:
“Obtaining Service” for further details.)
IMPORTANT NOTES
W LONG IS YOUR RUN
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible because gas lines
ose pressure over distance and with each elbow and tee that
is added. This drop in pressure a ects grill performance. (See
INDEX: “Gas Suppl
ARE YOU “ONTHELEVEL”
Proper leveling during installation is critical. A grill that is out
of level will cause erratic burner combustion and ine cient
uneven heating. A carpenter’s spirit level should be used to level
the grill both front-to-back and side-to-side

BUILTIN INSTALLATIONS
This built-in grill is designed for easy installation into masonry
enclosures.
NOTE: 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 insulating jacket).
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)
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
di cult to clean.
3” (7.6 cm)
This grill requires that a 120 volt, 60 hertz, 15 amp GFI certi ed
outlet be installed by a quali ed electrician.
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 6 1/4” from the back of the hood.
Minimum clearance from sides and back of grill to adjacent
combustible construction extending above the counter top
surface is 12” from the sides and 6 1/4” from the back.
Do not use this appliance under unprotected overhead combustible surfaces.
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 Viking Range, LLC dealer. Insulated jackets have
been designed and tested speci cally for your grill.

NPACKING & ASSEMBLY
The grill arrives nearly ready to use and requires only minor assembly.
By carefully following the uncrating and unpacking steps, you
will improve your rst experience with the grill.
Shipping weight on smaller units is app. 300 pounds and larger
units may weigh over 500 pounds.
WARNING:
EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD!
Use two or more people to move or install this unit.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in back or
other personal injuries.
CRATE & CARTON
• IMPORTANT! Do not remove staples around the top of the
carton. These staples hold a wooden pallet in place inside the
carton that protects the unit from damage. Removing these
staples may cause the pallet to fall on the top of grill.
INTERIOR PACKING
Viking Range, LLC uses sturdy tie-down cables and straps to
ensure your grill arrives at your home in the same condition that
it left our factory. BE SURE YOU HAVE REMOVED ALL TIE DOWNS

the grill can sit safely and solidly on the crate during shipping.
The grill cannot be slid directly o of the pallet.
One way to safely move the grill o of the pallet is by lifting one
end of the grill high enough to place a ramp under the wheel
and then lift the other end while rolling the grill o of the pallet.
Make sure you remember to remove the tie-downs on the burners.
• On ProSear™ models, cut and remove ties from the burner
partition on the left side of the ProSear™ burner.
