GRILL PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION
Clearance to non-combustible construction*:
A minimum of 3” clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible
construction is required for the lid to open freely. It is desirable to allow at least 6” rear and side clearance to non-
combustible construction above the cooking surface for counter space. If you’ll be using the rotisserie option, the space is
essential for motor and skewer clearance. The grill can be placed directly adjacent to non-combustible construction be-
low the cooking surface. (Fig.03)
Important! Gas fittings, regulator, and installer supplied shut-off valves must be easily accessible.
WARNING!
DO NOT install the grill in combustible enclosures. The Grill must be installed into a NON-Com-
bustible enclosure
LOCATION
»
When selecting a suitable location, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to traffic paths, and
keeping gas supply lines as short as possible.
»
When determining a suitable location take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to traffic paths
and keeping any gas or electrical supply lines as short as possible and away from heat sources. Locate the grill only in
a well ventilated area. Do not build the grill under overhead unprotected combustible construction. Never locate the
grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of
heat and smoke. Ensure there is adequate area for it to dissipate.
»
If locating the grill in a windy area, try to locate the grill so the prevailing wind will blow air at the front of the grill.
This will assist the grill in venting hot air thru the back of the grill. In addition, this will help keep any smoke from
blowing at someone who is cooking on the grill. If you have to locate the grill in a windy area where the prevailing
wind is at the rear of the grill, a windbreak must be installed. The windbreak should be made such that it will block
wind from entering the exhaust vent in the rear of the unit.
»
As high-performance gas appliance, your grill requires significant amounts of air to support the combustion process.
Your grill is designed to take air in through the valve panel area, and send the exhaust products out through the exhaust
gap at the rear of the hood. Using your grill in windy conditions can disrupt the proper flow of air though your grill,
leading to reduced performance, or in certain severe cases, causing heat buildup in the valve panel area. This can lead to
problems such as having the knobs melt, or burn hazards when the valve panel surfaces become too hot to touch.
»
During high wind conditions, it is best if you don’t use your grill. If you live in an area that is subject to frequent high
winds, or a steady directional wind, then the installation of a suitable windbreak may be advised. If you have a grilling
cart, it is best to position the unit so the prevailing wind blows into the valve panel, thus supporting the proper airflow.
Winds hitting the back of the grill directly are the most likely to cause problems, although wind blowing along the
exhaust gap in the rear can also be problematic.
Please note that damage to your grill resulting from use in windy conditions, such as melted knobs or igniter wires, or
valve panel discoloration from heat build-up, are excluded from warranty coverage.
