BEFORE YOU START
IMPORTANT NOTES
WHERE’S THE WIND?
When selecting a suitable location, consider important fac-
tors such as exposure to the wind and foot-traffic patterns.
If you have a freestanding grill, position it so the prevailing
wind blows into the front control panel (at your back when
grilling), supporting the proper front-to-rear airflow.
Built-in grills located in areas with prevailing winds should
be protected by a wind barrier.
Winds hitting the back of the grill directly may cause prob-
lems, as well as wind blowing along the hood gap.
HOW LONG IS YOUR RUN?
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible because gas
lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow and
tee that is added. This drop in pressure affects grill per-
formance. (See INDEX: “Gas Supply Line Runs” for further
details.)
ARE YOU “ON-THE-LEVEL”?
Proper leveling during installation is critical. A grill that is
out of level will cause erratic burner combustion and inef-
ficient, 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 decided slope, re-leveling
may be required each time you move a freestanding unit.
WARNING
• Never install this product into a combustible enclosure without an insulated jacket. Doing so could result in fire,
property 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 Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and
Handling Code, B149.2, in Canada.
IF SHIPMENT ARRIVES DAMAGED
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE
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
If damage is unnoticed until the grill is unpacked, notify the
transportation company or carrier immediately and file 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.)
Be sure wind doesn’t blow into the hood gap.

BUILT-IN INSTALLATIONS
BEFORE YOU START ...continued
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
(LIJ).
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 flat and level. (refer to ANSI Z21.58 Standard
for Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliances, Section 1.7 Enclosures For Self Contained LP-Gas Supply Systems)
Ne pas utiliser cet appareil sous une surface combustible.
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 specifically for your grill.
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 difficult to clean.
This grill requires that a 120 volt, 60 hertz, 15 amp GFI certified outlet be installed by a qualified 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 back.
Dégagement minimal entre les parois latérales et
l’arrière de l’appariel 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).
Minimum clearance from sides and back of grill to adjacent
combustible construction extending above the counter top
surface is 18” from the sides and back.
Dégagement horizontal minimal entre les parois latérales et l’arrière de l’appariel et la construction verticale

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.
How to Remove the Carton
• Cut the main strap holding the grill to the pallet.
• Remove the staples at the bottom of the carton.
• Lift off the carton.
• With assistance, remove the grill from the pallet and
place into desired location.
Grill will not
slide directly
off pallet.
• Carefully cut the cable ties securing the warming rack and
rotisserie spit (if equipped).
• Cut the strapping that secures the briquette trays and
carefully lift them out, front first.
Make sure you remember to remove the tie-downs on the
burners.
• On ProSear™ 2 models, cut and remove ties from the
burner partition on the left side of the ProSear™ 2
burner.
• Ensure that all burners are properly seated on the burner
valve orifice and sitting level with the legs in the frame
slots and no side-to-side movement.
The wheels sit down in the gaps of the shipping crate so
that the grill can sit safely and solidly on the crate during
shipping. The grill cannot be slid directly off of the pallet.
One way to safely move the grill off of the pallet is by lifting
one end of the grill high enough to place a ramp under the
wheel and then lift the

WARNING
NEVER CONNECT A GAS LINE DIRECTLY TO THE GRILL. A PRESSURE REGULATOR MUST BE INSTALLED ON
ALL GAS EQUIPMENT. ALL LOCAL CODES REQUIRE THAT THE PRESSURE REGULATOR SUPPLIED WITH YOUR
GRILL IS USED. REMOVING OR FAILING TO INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR CAN RESULT IN FIRE AND
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
GAS CONNECTIONS
Keep last two
threads clean
The grill is factory set to use either propane (LP) or natural
gas (NAT). It is critical that the gas you use matches that
which the grill was set up for. You can verify that by checking the rating plate.
The Rating plate lists serial numbers, model numbers and gas
type. This one is underneath the drip tray.
The rating plate is located in one or more of the following
places:
• Attached to the underside of the drip tray
• On the heat shield behind the front panel
Ensure that the gas supplied meets with the minimum
pressure requirements. Do not operate the grill on any gas
other than that for which the grill has been set.

Water Column Requirements
NATURAL GAS
Viking Range, LLC 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.
Both the regulator and the manifold orifices have been
tuned for the type of gas specified on the rating plate.
Converting to a different type of gas requires a conversion
kit, available from your dealer and must be installed by a
qualified technician.
All installation and all installation parts must conform to
local codes with the National Electrical Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 70 latest edition and the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the U.S. and CGA-B149.1/.2 in
Canada.
Canadian installations must conform to CGA-B149.1/.2
natural gas/propane installation code. (Canada)
12
CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
|
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.)
Page 13
For freestanding units using natural gas, using a metal flex
hose is recommended.
This is available at your local hardware store or from your
dealer.
LP GAS
Grills set up for LP gas come equipped with an LP hose/
regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb.
LP cylinder. (Type 1). All fittings necessary to attach the
assembly to the grill are included.
Permanently plumbed LP connections, such as those in line
with a bulk cylinder, require a 4/11 regulator.
When using the 4/11 regulator you must ensure that it
is set for the proper fuel type. This is done by removing
the regulator cap and gasket and looking at the bottom
of the plunger to see what fuel type is visible. This is the
regulator fuel setting. NAT is for natural gas and LP is for
propane gas. The LP setting can be further identified by
the large diameter disk on the bottom of the plunger. To
change from one gas to the other simply push the plunger
to the side to snap it out of the cap, turn the plunger so
it reads the desired gas type on the bottom, and push
the plunger until it snaps back into place in the cap then
replace the cap into the regulator.
Never connect an unregulated gas line to the grill.
LP Cylinder Requirements
The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in accor-
dance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) and designed for use
with a Type 1 system only.
Cylinders of free standing grills must be secured using the
provided cylinder retention system to avoid accidental
movement.
When exchanging your
cylinder for a refill,
exchange only for 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 should
be avoided. If in doubt, have it checked by your LP supplier.
Always check for leaks after every LP cylinder change. (See
INDEX: “Leak Test” for further details.)
Always shut off the LP-gas supply at the cylinder when the
grill is not in use.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area
out of the reach of children. If your grill is stored indoors,
the LP cylinder must be stored outside.
LP Connections
Make sure the LP cylinder valve is fully closed. It is possible
for the valve to be open without releasing gas but, as soon
as you start connecting the regulator, gas will leak from the
connection.
GAS CONNECTIONS ...continued
WARNING
Do not change the regulator/hose assembly or
use any other assembly than the one supplied
with your grill.
Do not attempt to use a 5LP-A equipped
regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL
cylinder/valve assembly.
Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or
near this appliance.
Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
If the information above is not followed exactly, a
fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

Always leak-test the connection after refilling or exchanging
LP cylinders. (See INDEX: “Leak Test” for further details.)
GAS LINE PURGING
You should purge the gas line of air before attempting to
light the grill.
• Make sure all grill controls are in the “OFF” position.
• Slowly turn on the main gas supply.
• Push in the rotisserie knob and confirm that the igniter
is glowing. It is furthest from the fuel source and will
completely purge the lines. It will take several seconds for
the burner to light.
• Hold the knob ON for about 20 seconds to allow the air
in the system to purge and the burner to light
CART INSTALLATION
• Shut off the gas supply at the main valve.
• Disconnect all plumbing (if already attached) from the grill
and the gas supply valve.
• Remove all the fittings from the grill manifold.
• Install the side burner onto the cart according to the
directions supplied with the cart mounting kit.
• Connect the gas supply to the grill and the side burner as
shown in the diagrams on this page for your gas type.
• Turn the gas supply on and leak test all connections. (See

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
• Product installation must meet local electric 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 CGA 1.6b2005.
• Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) protected circuit with this outdoor cooking gas appliance.
• IMPORTANT: When connecting your rotisserie motor, first connect the motor to the grill and then plug the grill
into the outlet.
• This grill is equipped with a three prong (grounding) 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 3 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 from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow it to cool before putting on or
taking off parts.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not use an outdoor cooking gas appliance for purposes other than intended.
• Do not operate any outdoor cooking gas appliance with a damaged cord, plug, or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer for repair.
CONNECTION TO AC
Installation requires an outdoor 120VAC 15A GFI (Ground
Fault Interrupter) electrical outlet adjacent to the grill.
The GFI outlet features an internal breaker 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.
For built-in grills, the supplied 12VDC should be installed
below the grill within the cabinet enclosure. Select a
location where the transformer is protected against water,
heat and physical damage.
When installing the transformer to the grill be careful to
prevent the wiring and transformer from contacting any
hot surfaces behind or below the grill. It is recommended
that the transformer be located below the grill in a readily
accessible location. Be sure to provide adequate access to
facilitate service if the transformer or connections should
need future maintenance.
If the electrical system fails to operate, a connection may
have come loose in shipping or the GFI may have tripped,
requiring a reset. See the Troubleshooting section for more
details.

(sparks, electrical arcing, etc) in the area while
performing a leak test. Leak tests should be
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 knobs 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 knob 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.
The main brass burners and side burners on your grill
feature an adjustable low setting.
Fluctuations in gas pressure, gas conversion and even in the
quality of the gas itself may affect burner performance at the
“LOW” setting. It could be either too high or too low.
To Adjust the Burner to a Low Setting:
• Make sure the grill is cool.
• Remove the racks so you can see the flames while
adjusting the burners.
• Light the burner and allow it to preheat on high for 3
minutes.
• Turn the burner to “LOW”.
• Pull off the control knob.
• While holding the valve shaft with pliers as shown insert a
small flat screwdriver into the center shaft and adjust the
flame’s low setting.
Fixing a Gas Leak:
• Shut off the gas supply
• Turn all grill controls to the “ON” position to purge the
grill of any gas build-up, then turn the controls back
“OFF”.
• Wash off the soapy solution with cold water and dry.
• Tighten the loose joint, or replace the faulty part with
manufacturer-recommended replacement parts.
• DO NOT attempt to repair the L.P. cylinder valve if it
is damaged. The only way to safely resolve a damaged
cylinder is to REPLACE IT.
• Repeat the leak test to ensure that no leaks are present.
Clockwise will lower the flame setting, counterclockwise will
raise it.
The proper setting is where the flame is stable at its lowest setting. A slight flutter will be present in the crossover
portion of the front of the burner before the burner itself
becomes weak.
The factory setting for propane gas is ½ to ¾ turn from the
very bottom of the adjustment. The setting for natural gas
is 1-½ to 1-¾ from the bottom. After the low settings are
proper, turn all burners to high for visual inspection.
Please note the low flame adjustment is not available for
the rotisserie valve.

FINAL CHECKS ...continued
BRASS BURNER FLAME/AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
The amount of air that enters a burner is controlled by the
air shutter.
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior
to shipment. However, fluctuations in gas pressure, gas
conversion and even in the quality of the gas itself may
make it necessary to adjust the burner.
The flames of the main brass burners should be visually
checked.
Flames should be blue and stable with slight yellow tips.
The bright-blue core should be about 3/8 inch high with a
total flame height of about 1 1/2 inches.
The flames should burn quietly (no “torch” sounds) and
they should not “lift” up from the burner.
• If the flame is noisy (sounds like a torch) and tends to lift
away from the burner, indicating too much air, turn the air
shutter clockwise.
• After the burner cools down, remove it, tighten the air
shutter set screw and reinstall the burner, briquette trays
and grill racks.
NOTE: The ProSear™ 2 does not have an air shutter.
• The appearance of the ProSear™ 2 burner should be
visually checked. The ceramic tiles should be uniformly
red to orange in appearance. There should be no lifting,
fluttering or lazy blue flames. Some food particles will
show as yellow flames but should burn off.
If your flames do not match those indicated in the photo,
ensure that the air shutter and burner ports are free and
clear of dirt, debris, or spider webs. If clear, then adjust the
air shutter.
It is locked in place by a screw which must be loosened
before adjusting. Once adjusted retighten the screw.
To Adjust:
DANGER!
BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL AROUND HOT
BURNERS AND OTHER GRILL PARTS.
• Remove the racks and briquette trays.
• Lift out the burner, loosen the set screw and then put the
burner back in place and light it.
• If the flame is excessively
yellow, indicating insufficient air, CAREFULLY turn
the air shutter counterclockwise to allow more air
to the burner.
ONE LAST THING
Finally, before leaving, check all the burners for proper
operation. Make sure the control knobs turn freely and
completely through their full range.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the owner knows where the main gas supply
shut off valve is located.
Finally, for safety and for proper use & care, you must

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE REVIEW THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE YOU USE YOUR
GRILL.
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
area. (See INDEX: “Grilling in Windy Conditions” for
further details.)
4. Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments or long sleeves
while grilling. They could ignite.
5. Never touch the grill racks, hood or immediate
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.
8. Do not heat unopened food containers as pressure
build-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 the
control area and can melt control knobs and ignition
modules. Such damage is specifically excluded from
your warranty.
12. Never grill without the drip pan in place. Always ensure
the drip pan is pushed all the way to the back of the
grill. Hot grease can leak downward and produce a fire
or explosion.
13. Grease is extremely flammable. Let hot grease cool
down before attempting to handle or dispose of it.
The drip tray should be cleaned of grease on a regular
basis.
14. Do not use the grill unless a leak check has been performed on all gas connections. (See INDEX: “Leak Test
Procedure” for further details.)
15. Never operate the grill while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
16. Do not lean on side shelves and never place a load
weighing more than 25 pounds on a side shelf.
17. If any burner does not light or goes out during
operation, turn off all gas control knobs, open the hood
and wait five (5) minutes before attempting to re-light.
18. Portable L.P. cylinders: Always shut off the main valve
on the L.P. 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 behind the control panel, damaging the grill and risking
personal injury. If your grill has been unused for a long
time, inspect and clean the burners, venturis, valves
and orifices. (See INDEX: “Cleaning the Brass Burner”
for further details.)
10. Never use charcoal or any other solid fuel in the grill.
11. Cooking excessively fatty meats and oils will cause flare
ups. Internal fires or damage caused by them or by
the grill being left unattended while cooking are not
covered under the terms and conditions of our
warranty.

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 grill pulls air in

Using your grill in windy conditions may disrupt the
front-to-back 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
• 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.
Wind hitting the back of the grill can
disrupt proper exhaust.
from exiting the rear of the grill the control panel and knobs
may have become extremely hot.
Your 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)

Some foods are cooked using direct heat and some using
indirect heat.
Thinner cuts of food are often cooked at a “HI” heat setting
with the lid open.
On the other hand, large, thick pieces of meat or poultry
are often first seared at the high setting and then grilled at
a lower setting ... sometimes with the lid closed … achiev-

This advanced
infrared burner provides
high-intensity infrared
heat for searing foods
and sealing in flavor.
Your grill features a variety of professional-level burners and
tools for meeting the wide variety of cooking challenges.
We will reveal how these features work for you. So please
read and enjoy!
Depending on the model you chose, your grill may be
equipped with up to three different burner types. The
operation of each type varies, so it is important to
understand all three.
Rotisserie Burner
This infrared burner spans the back of the
cooking surface and provides consistent heat
for slow rotisserie cooking.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE
There are a few must-check safety precautions to consider
before you use your grill. Please be sure that:
• All packing materials and tie-downs have been removed
from the burners. (See INDEX: “Unpacking & Assembly”
for further details.)
• You have fuel connected. (See INDEX: “Gas
Requirements” for further details.)
• You have electric connected. (See INDEX: “Electric
Requirements” for further details.)
• A qualified plumber has performed a leak test on all the
fittings that supply fuel to your grill.
• IF YOUR GRILL DOES NOT LIGHT IN 4 TO 5 SECONDS
you may need to purge the line. (See INDEX: “Purging
the Gas Line”
AT EACH NEW SEASON
At the start of each new grilling season you should remove
the grilling racks and check the burners, venturis, orifices
and valves for obstructions.
Spiders and insects often nest in these areas of the grill
and can disrupt air flow, causing damage to the grill and
personal injury.
Also, check all hoses and fittings for damage, abrasion,
wear and tear.

5 seconds, turn off the control, wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and repeat the lighting procedure.
5. YOU NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
ELECTRIC IGNITION
Before proceeding, make sure you have completed the
“Before Each Use” checklist.
Follow these steps to light any of the burners on your grill:
First, make sure all burner control knobs are set to OFF.
For the Main Brass Burner
or ProSear™ 2 Burner:
Push and hold the control
knob in for 5-7 seconds,
allowing the igniter to heat
up. Then rotate the knob
to “LITE”. After ignition,
set the knob to the desired
heat setting.
For the Rotisserie Burner:
The rotisserie burner features a thermocouple sensor with
a safety valve that automatically shuts off the flow of gas if
the burner goes out. (See INDEX: “Windy Conditions” for
tips on how to prevent burner blow out)
To light the rotisserie burner, push and hold the control
knob in for 2 seconds and then turn the knob to the “LITE”
position.
After ignition CONTINUE HOLDING THE CONTROL KNOB
IN for 30 to 60 seconds. During this time the thermocouple
will heat up and the safety valve will remain open.
If you release the control knob before the thermocouple
has heated up, the safety valve will shut off the flow of gas
to the rotisserie burner and you will have to re-light the
burner.

LIGHTING YOUR GRILL ...continued
COLD WEATHER WARNING:
PROPANE
Extremely cold temperatures may cause your
ProSear™ 2 burners to light inside the burners
instead of outside. Once lit, if you hear a
‘whooshing’ sound, immediately turn the burner
knobs off to extinguish the flame and then
immediately re-light the burners.
MANUAL LIGHTING
If a burner doesn’t light after several attempts, it can be
match lit using the lighting rod stored in the drip tray.
Match-lighting your grill is done in one of three ways,
depending upon which burners are being lit.
Right-Most Main Burner
The right-most main burner does not feature a manual
lighting tube.
To match-light this burner, use the lighting rod to insert a lit
match through the cooking grate into the front slot of the
briquette tray for that burner.
First, make sure you’ve returned all of the control knobs
to the OFF position and have allowed 5 minutes for any
accumulated gas to dissipate before attempting to match
light a burner.
Manual Lighting Tube
Your grill features individual manual lighting tubes for all
main burners except for the right-most main burners.
Using the lighting rod, place a lit match in front of the
manual lighting tube for the burner you wish to light.
(See photo)
Push and turn the corresponding burner control knob to
“LITE”. If the burner doesn’t light within 5 seconds turn the
knob off and wait 5 minutes before attempting to light it
again.
ProSear™ 2 Burner
The ProSear™ 2 burner does not feature a manual lighting
tube.
To match-light this burner, use the lighting rod to insert
a lit match through the cooking grate and through the
protective screen.
Push and turn the corresponding burner control knob to
“LITE”. If the burner doesn’t light within 5 seconds turn the
knob off and wait 5 minutes before attempting to light it
again. Once lit, gas will stop flowing through the manual
lighting tube.

PRE-HEATING
BASIC GRILLING
TYPES OF COOKING
Pre-heating your grill every time you use it is extremely
important. Pre-heating allows the briquettes to properly
heat up, providing more even and more consistent cooking
results.
Pre-heat your grill by igniting all main burners, including the
ProSear™ 2 burner, and setting them to “HI”.
Then close the hood and allow the grill to heat for 10 to
15 minutes. Once you’ve reached your desired pre-heat
temperature, turn off the burners that you won’t be using to
cook your food.
WARNING!
DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED
DURING THE PRE-HEAT CYCLE OR AT ANY
TIME WHILE THE GRILL IS IN USE.
PRE-HEATING FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES
MAY OVERHEAT THE GRILL, CAUSING DAMAGE
TO THE GRILL.
The main brass burners and the ProSear™ 2 burner in your
grill are capable of creating a range of heat intensities. By
varying the heat output, the number of burners used and
the position of the hood, you can create either direct or
indirect heat or a combination of both and develop a wide
variety of succulent recipes. There are two basic types of
grilling in an outdoor grill... Direct Heat and Indirect Heat
Direct Heat
Direct heat cooking occurs when foods are placed directly over the heat source. This form of heat is known 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. ProSear™ 2 Burners provide the
heat necessary to sear foods and seal in flavor.
Indirect Heat
Indirect heat cooking occurs when the food is not
close to the heat source. Heat reaches the food via air
movement within the cooking area. This form of heat is
known as “convection” heat.
Indirect, or “convection” cooking is achieved by placing
the food on one side of the grill and igniting burners on the
other side. You leave the burner below the food “OFF”.
You should keep the hood closed as much as possible
during this type of cooking to maintain even heat around
the food. You regulate the heat by adjusting the burner,
using the hood thermometer to monitor the temperature.
24
CARE & USE/INSTALLATION

Page 25
Never place food over a ProSear™ 2 burner before it is fully
USING THE PROSEAR™ 2 BURNER
pre-heated because food particles and grease dripping
onto a cold ProSear™ 2 burner can clog the tiny ports and
damage the burner.
For the same reason you should minimize water spills
on the ProSear™ 2 burner and should not use water to
control flare-ups. Take special care to minimize dropping
any liquids on the ProSear™ 2 burner while cleaning the
cooking grids.
HOW TO SEAR
Professional restaurant chefs rely on a different type of heat
... infrared heat ... to create a higher searing temperature
than what standard burners can achieve. Viking Range, LLC
provides the ProSear™ 2 infrared burner.
Infrared burners work by focusing the gas flame through a
ceramic element filled with tiny holes.
These holes focus the flame on the surface of the element,
creating an intense heat much higher than that of a
standard brass burner. It allows you to sear your food more
quickly while leaving the inside rare, if desired.
The ProSear™ 2 burner, with its advanced components,
requires particular attention to lighting, usage and cleaning
guidelines. See INDEX: “ProSear™ 2” for further details.
Pre-Heating the ProSear™ 2 Burner
Always preheat the entire grill before cooking to achieve
consistent, successful results. (See INDEX: “Preheating” for
further details.)
Searing locks in flavor and juices while allowing the food’s
outer surface to absorb smoke and food-born aromas
produced when drippings are vaporized by the burner.
The result is a restaurant-style finish … crisp, flavorful
outside with a tender, juicy inside.
While the brass burners in your grill are capable of producing
searing heat, the ProSear™ 2 infrared burner is specifically
designed for this purpose.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Grill cooking grids are heavy duty. Dropping
them on the ProSear™ 2 Burner will damage
the burner. Such damage is not covered by the
product warranty and will cause a fire, burns or
other personal injury.
PROSEAR™ 2 CLEANING
It’s easy to keep your ProSear™ 2 Burner
operating at peak performance. Just run it on
“HI” with the hood open for 15 minutes after
each use to burn away any food particles or
drippings.
Any ash accumulation on the burner screen
can be removed with a light brush (like a paint
brush) or vacuum … BUT WAIT UNTIL THE
BURNER IS COOL!
If the grill is already hot from cooking you should still
pre-heat the ProSear™ 2 burner for 2-3 minutes, or
until it glows red.

Rotisserie cook-
USING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER
ing provides an
even delivery of
heat to your foods.
It has no equal.
The constant rotation not only cooks foods evenly, it also
self bastes. As juices rise to the surface of the food, they
naturally flow around it as it rotates. And, by moving the
burner out from beneath the food, you avoid scorching
flare-ups.
Your foods will be more evenly
cooked, more tender and juicier
when slow-roasted on a rotisserie.
The rotisserie system consists of four main parts, the motor,
the skewer, the forks and the infrared burner.
The Motor
Install the motor by sliding it into one
of the slots shown here. Use the top
slot for small foods or fast cooking
and the lower slot for large foods and
slower cooking.
The Skewer & Forks
The rotisserie can handle large food items up to 50 lbs. You
should prepare any item and first mount it on the skewer.
Swing the warming rack up and out of the way. It will rest in
place.
Plug the motor power cord into the
motor and into the built-in power
outlet on the rear left panel. Your
grill must be plugged into an AC
power supply for the rotisserie to
work.
Place a basting pan in the grill to prevent food
accumulations on the briquettes and burners. But BE SURE
YOU REMOVE IT before using any of the other burners.
The location of the rotisserie burner makes it more
susceptible to strong wind conditions (more so than the
main grill burners).
For this reason it features a safety valve that automatically
closes any time the rotisserie burner is not properly lit …
like if it were to extinguish in windy conditions. During
windy conditions, it’s best to keep the lid closed and to
periodically check the burner.
Rotisserie
Motor Mount
Then mount the skewer on the grill before lighting the
rotisserie infrared burner. Lighting the burner first could
result in burning your hands while trying to mount the
skewer on the grill.
It’s okay to remove the grill racks and even the briquette
trays to make room for large foods on the skewer.
To load the skewer, slide one of the forks onto the skewer.
Push the skewer through the center of the food, then slide
the second fork onto the skewer. Center the food to be
cooked on the skewer then push the forks firmly together.
Tighten the thumb screws (use pliers if necessary). You
should wrap any loose, dangling pieces of food (like wings)
with butcher’s string (never use nylon or plastic string).
With the food secured to the skewer slowly roll the skewer
in the palms of your hands to check for balance. It should
rotate smoothly. If you find it has a heavy side, adjust where
the skewer pierces the meat. An unbalanced skewer will
cause uneven rotation and uneven cooking. It’s normal for
the skewer to flex with large foods.
When the rotisserie is not in use the rotisserie motor should
be stored in a cool dry location.

The Rotisserie Burner
To light the rotisserie infrared burner, first mount
the skewered food item on the grill then follow the
rotisserie lighting procedure. (See INDEX: “Rotisserie
Burner, Lighting” for further details.)
Once lit, the rotisserie burner should reach cooking
temperatures in about 1 minute. It will glow evenly across
its surface in about 5 minutes.
NOTE: The grill thermometer should not be used for
rotisserie cooking. It is not designed to read direct infrared
heat.
If the burner will not stay lit when you release the control
knob, re-light it and hold the control knob in for at least 60
seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up.
If, after holding the control knob in for at least 60 seconds,
the burner still will not stay lit when releasing the control
knob, call for service.
(See INDEX: “Obtaining service” for further details.)
Shut off all other burners while using the rotisserie burner.
Professional chefs far and wide set their restaurant cuisine
apart by cooking
over wood fires.
Imparting a delicate
hint of wood smoke
enhances food,
raising your culinary
skills to the next
level.
Your new grill comes
with a new smoker
set with handle. This oval shaped smoker box can be
placed anywhere on the grates directly over any burner.
The unique handle and interlock mechanism is designed to
allow quick removal or refilling of the smoker box.
The smoker box is designed with special draft and flow
through for maximum smoke. It is constructed of 304 Heavy
Gauge Stainless Steel for years of use.
The smoker box can be used with smoker pellets or wood
chips. Whether using wood chips or pellets, we recommend
using approximately 3 oz. of either material. There is no
need for presoaking, just fill the smoker box.
Now use the handle to place
the smoker box directly on
the hot grates. Don’t forget
to remove the smoker handle
before closing the grill lid.
Smoke occurs at approximately
575 degrees F. at the grilling
surface. Set the burner knob to medium/medium low to
achieve this temperature. Use the handle to move or refill
the smoker box. Control the smoking by adjusting the heat
and being careful not to adjust it too high.
For best results keep the lid closed. The best absorption
of smoke flavor occurs early in the cooking process. When
finished with smoking, allow the smoker box to cool and
dispose of remnants.
CAUTION
Handle the smoker box with care. The cover
becomes extremely hot when in use. Use sturdy,
properly insulated gloves or dry pot holders.

STAINLESS STEEL
CLEANING YOUR GRILL
Our 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 follow the cleaning instructions for keeping the
grates and burners 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 Grill is the fine grain finish. When
removing stubborn stains:
• Do not use metallic abrasives and always rub in the
direction of the grain.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR LOCATIONS NEAR POOLS AND
COASTAL AREAS:
The 304 stainless steel material used in the construction
of the grill is highly rust resistant, however, chlorine in the
air from swimming pools or the salt from 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 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 (VpCI™)
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.
THE LIMITED LIFE TIME 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.
• Some household cleaning products are not suitable for
stainless steel; be sure to read the label before using on
your Grill.
• 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 on to 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 products are well protected before you allow the
use of such chemicals near your grill.
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 out until
it stops, then lifting the front edge until the drip tray comes
free.
Clean it with hot soapy water or an oven-style cleaning
product and re-install. When using an oven-style cleaning
product be sure to carefully follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Many of these cleaners are toxic and can
damage the stainless steel finish if not used properly.
Also, check the tray after rain. If you’ve left the grill
uncovered, you may need to remove the drip tray drain
plug to drain the water from the tray. The drain plug can be
removed with a flat-head screwdriver.

To Remove Brass Burners:
CLEANING YOUR GRILL ...continued
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.
GRILLING RACKS
The easiest way to clean the grill racks is to do so immediately after turning off the burners, while they are still hot.
Wearing a long BBQ mitt to protect your hand from steam,
dip a brass bristle brush in hot water and scrub the grill
rack. Dip the brush frequently because the steam helps
remove baked-on foods.
CERAMIC BRIQUETTES
The ceramic briquettes normally burn off any accumulated
food drippings. But you may occasionally experience larger
spills that don’t burn off under normal use.
When this happens, let the grill cool completely. Remove
the racks and then the briquette trays by lifting the front
edge and pulling them toward you.
Flip the trays over and put them
back in place over the burner.
Light the burners and set them to
“HI” for 5 - 10 minutes to burn the
briquettes clean. Any remaining
food items can be brushed off
using a soft brush.
Remove the grill racks and briquette trays.
Lift the burner up until the legs exit the frame.
Then pull to the rear of the grill so the burner head comes
off the brass orifice at the front.
Angle the burner sideways and lift it out.
Be careful not to change the air shutter position.
To Clean the Brass Burner:
To maximize grill performance, clean the exterior of the
burner with a wire brush. Remove stubborn scale with a
metal scraper.
Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip.
Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog
the port.
Shake out any debris through the air shutter.
Use a flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not
blocked. If obstructions can be seen, clean it with a paper
clip or a pipe cleaner.
WARNING
PROPER PLACEMENT OF EACH BURNER IS
CRITICAL. AFTER CLEANING THEY MUST BE
CENTERED ON THE BRASS ORIFICE,
RESTING LEVEL WITHOUT ANY ROCKING.
FAILURE TO MEET THESE CONDITIONS MAY
CAUSE A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION
THAT CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Be sure the trays have completely
cooled before reinstalling them.
Replacement briquette trays can be ordered from your
dealer.
MAIN BRASS BURNERS
Make sure the grill is completely cool before proceeding.
Ensure that the gas supply is off and all control knobs are in
the “OFF” position.

CLEANING YOUR GRILL ...continued
TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR GRILL
It’s easy to keep your ProSear™ 2 burner operating at peak
performance. Just run it on “HI” with the hood open for 5
minutes after each use to burn away any food particles or
drippings.
Food debris on the inside of the burner can be gently
shaken out. Do not touch the ceramic surface.
Any ash accumulation on the burner screen can be removed with a light brush or vacuum … BUT WAIT UNTIL
THE BURNER IS COOL!
Inside View, Orifice all
the way into venturi
Every 3 to 6 months, remove the burner and inspect the
venturi (inlet) and orifice to ensure that they’re free of obstructions.
Heat Shield Removed,
Orifice/Venturi Position
When re-installing the ProSear™ 2 burner, be sure to
correctly position the burner.
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
Please check a few things before calling for service:
• Is there fuel supplied to the grill?
• Is the main shut-off valve open?
• Are you using the correct type of fuel? (LP or Natural Gas)
(See INDEX: “Gas Requirements” for further details.)
30
CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
|
• Is your propane cylinder empty? Have you recently
refilled the propane cylinder? If so, is the connection
tight?
• Have you opened the valve on the propane cylinder?
• Is the grill plugged in to a live electric circuit?
If you’ve checked the above items, review the
trouble-shooting list below before calling for service.
Page 31
GRILL WON’T LIGHT
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
First, confirm that the grill is getting electricity by turning
on the lights, then:
If match lighting doesn’t work, 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.)
Check The Igniters
Your grill uses an electric ignition system that does not
spark. Instead, the igniters should glow constantly when a
control knob is pushed in.
• Ensure that all burner controls are set to OFF.
• Remove the cooking grates and briquette trays.
• Watch an igniter as you push in and hold the
corresponding control knob. You will need either a small
mirror or shiny metal object to see the igniter under its
cover.
(Be sure you push in the correct control knob and keep
the knob in the “OFF” position).
• Check the remaining igniters. If igniters don’t glow,
proceed with troubleshooting or match-light the burner.
If the burner will light with a match, then the igniter may
not be functioning correctly. Call for service.
If the burner will not match light, and you know you are
getting gas, wait for any gas to dissipate and remove the
burner and check it for blockages.
SMELL OF GAS WHILE COOKING
IF YOU SMELL GAS WHILE THE GRILL IS OPERATING,
IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ALL BURNERS AND SHUT OFF
THE MAIN FUEL SUPPLY.
• Perform a leak test (See INDEX: “Leak Test Procedure”
for further details.)
• Check for blockages (See INDEX: “Clean the Brass
Burner” for further details.)
YELLOW FLAMES
A yellow flame on the main burners indicates a lack of air.
But, if the air around the grill is dusty or if heavy grease is
present, some orange tips on the burner flame are normal.
• Adjust The Air Shutter
Check The Burners
If the igniters are working check to see if gas is reaching the
burners by attempting to match light a burner.
BE CAREFUL! IF THE BURNER FAILS TO IGNITE, WAIT
5 MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO IGNITE OTHER
BURNERS! (See INDEX: “Match Lighting” for further
details.)
Gas Collector
Hood
Hot
Surface
Igniter
To adjust for insufficient air, adjust the air shutter. (See
INDEX: “Air Shutter Adjustment” for further details.)
LOW OR INSUFFICIENT HEAT
No part of the grill should ever be lined with aluminum foil.
Doing so will interfere with airflow and can cause a low heat
condition.
Ensure that you’ve preheated the main burners for at least
10 to 15 minutes with the hood closed and the ProSear™ 2
burner for 3 minutes.
Proper leveling during installation is critical. 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 low heat problem persists:
• Check the gas supply line sizing requirements.
• Check the gas supply line for kinks or damage.
CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
31

Page 32
REPLACE any damaged supply lines.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS ...continued
• Check line pressure
• Check the Regulator
Make sure that the regulator & hose assembly is the
one designed for and supplied with your 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 must be used if your grill
is set-up for an LP 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 drip tray are clean and free
from obstructions.
LP (Propane) units:
• Is the cylinder almost empty?
Almost-empty cylinders may not have sufficient pressure
to run the burners at high heat.
Natural gas inlet pressure should be at least 5” W.C. and
manifold pressure not less than 4” W.C. under full load
(with all burners on.)
• Check burners for blockages.
• Check flame characteristics. (See INDEX: “Flame, Correct
Size” )
• Clean or adjust air shutter (See INDEX: “Air Shutter
Adjustment.”
WIND HITTING GRILL
Wind hitting the grill while in use, especially winds blowing
into or across the hood gap from behind, can cause poor
performance and in some cases can cause the control panel
to get dangerously hot.
Steady or gusty winds can prevent the normal exhaust of
hot gases. Locate your grill away from prevailing winds and
avoid grilling in windy conditions.
• Have the line pressure checked by a qualified technician
(See INDEX: “Gas Requirements” for further details.)
• Flow Limiting Device
Improper lighting procedures may have activated the LP
cylinder’s flow control device, reducing the heat output.
To reset the flow control:
• Shut off all burner controls and close the LP cylinder
valve.
• Wait 30 seconds and, very slowly, reopen the cylinder
valve.
• Wait a few seconds and relite a burner.
Bulk LP cylinder users:
Bulk LP cylinder lines must be properly regulated.
Ensure that you are using a 4/11 appliance regulator
supplied by Viking Range, LLC and converted to LP gas.
Also ensure that you do not have more than one regulator
in line.
Natural Gas units:
• Supply Line
Ensure that the supply line is at least 3/4” inside diameter
or 1” outside diameter.

BURNER GOES OUT
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS ...continued
• Location
First determine if the problem is being caused by location.
If the grill is subject to high winds, reposition it to provide
some protection.
• Check the Flame
Check the gas supply and flame characteristics. (See
INDEX: “Flame, Correct Size”)
• Burners Seated
Check to ensure that the burners are correctly positioned
in the grill. (See INDEX: “Burner Placement” for further
details.)
Correctly-installed burners should be seated firmly and
level with no side-to-side movement.
BURNER GOES OUT ONLY WHEN SET TO “LOW”
The valves on the grill feature an adjustable low setting.
Fluctuations in gas pressure, gas conversion and even in
the quality of the gas itself may affect burner performance
at the “LOW” setting. It could be either too high or too
low. (See INDEX: “Burner Adjustment” for further details.)
the burner still will not stay lit when releasing the control
knob, call for service.
(See INDEX: “Obtaining service” for further details.)
LIGHTS WON’T LIGHT
• Check Power
Ensure that the grill is connected to a live AC power source
and check for rotisserie motor operation.
• Reset Transformer
Disconnect power from the grill and wait 5 minutes for the
transformer to cool down and reset. Then reconnect power.
If, after resetting the transformer and replacing bulbs, you
still do not have power, call for service.
• Replace the Bulb
Replacement bulbs are halogen, 12 volt,
10W max, T3 type with a G4 bi-pin, and
are readily available at most stores. The
glass cover is held in place by two spring
tension tabs. The bulbs are easily removable without the
use of tools. Simply grasp the glass lens at the outer
corners, near the front tension clips and push the lens back.
Then, swing the lens down and pull it loose. You may have
to loosen the screw to remove the lens.
ROTISSERIE WON’T LIGHT
Follow the same procedure as described for the grill
burners to diagnose problems with the rotisserie burner.
BE CAREFUL! The rotisserie burner flame may be hard to
see in bright sunny conditions.
ROTISSERIE LIGHTS BUT GOES OUT AS SOON AS
CONTROL IS RELEASED
• Check Thermocouple
The control knob must be held in for 30 to 60 seconds after
ignition for the rotisserie burner to stay lit. (See INDEX:
“Lighting Rotisserie Burner” for further details.)
If the burner will not stay lit when you release the control
knob, re-light it and hold the control knob in for at least 60
seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up.
If, after holding the control knob in for at least 60 seconds,
Avoid touching the glass of a new bulb. Halogen bulbs are
very sensitive to the oils found in human skin. Touching the
