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 prevailingwind blows into the front control panel (at your back whengrilling), supporting the proper front-to-rear airflow.
Built-in grills located in areas with prevailing winds shouldbe 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 gaslines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow andtee that is added. This drop in pressure affects grill per-formance. (See INDEX: “Gas Supply Line Runs” for furtherdetails.)
ARE YOU “ON-THE-LEVEL”?
Proper leveling during installation is critical. A grill that isout of level will cause erratic burner combustion and inef-ficient, uneven heating. A carpenter’s spirit level should beused to level the grill both front-to-back and side-to-side.
If the floor is uneven or has a decided slope, re-levelingmay 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

WARNING
NEVER CONNECT A GAS LINE DIRECTLY TO THE GRILL. A PRESSURE REGULATOR MUST BE INSTALLED ONALL GAS EQUIPMENT. ALL LOCAL CODES REQUIRE THAT THE PRESSURE REGULATOR SUPPLIED WITH YOURGRILL IS USED. REMOVING OR FAILING TO INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR CAN RESULT IN FIRE ANDSERIOUS 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.

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)

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.)
For freestanding units using natural gas, using a metal flexhose is recommended.
This is available at your local hardware store or from yourdealer.
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 theassembly to the grill are included.
Permanently plumbed LP connections, such as those in linewith a bulk cylinder, require a 4/11 regulator.
When using the 4/11 regulator you must ensure that itis set for the proper fuel type. This is done by removingthe regulator cap and gasket and looking at the bottomof the plunger to see what fuel type is visible. This is theregulator fuel setting. NAT is for natural gas and LP is forpropane gas. The LP setting can be further identified bythe large diameter disk on the bottom of the plunger. Tochange from one gas to the other simply push the plungerto the side to snap it out of the cap, turn the plunger soit reads the desired gas type on the bottom, and pushthe plunger until it snaps back into place in the cap thenreplace 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 usewith a Type 1 system only.
Cylinders of free standing grills must be secured using theprovided cylinder retention system to avoid accidentalmovement.
When exchanging yourcylinder for a refill,exchange only for aType 1 20lb cylinder withan over-fill protectiondevice.
Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve.
A dented or rusty LP cylinder may be hazardous and shouldbe avoided. If in doubt, have it checked by your LP supplier.
Always check for leaks after every LP cylinder change. (SeeINDEX: “Leak Test” for further details.)
Always shut off the LP-gas supply at the cylinder when thegrill is not in use.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated areaout 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 possiblefor the valve to be open without releasing gas but, as soonas you start connecting the regulator, gas will leak from theconnection.
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.
