During heavy use, the grill will produce considerable smoke. therefore, locate the grill in a well-ventilated area.
Never locate the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas without an approved
ventilation system for outdoor use.
If installing grill in an island in an open area, without suitable protection from windy conditions, a windbreak MUST be created
to ensure proper performance of the grill. If installation does not conform with manufacturer’s guidelines, your warranty will be
voided.
WARNING!
Failure to maintain required clearances creates a fire hazard that may result in property damage or
serious personal injury.
WARNING!
Grill is designed to function in an open area. Recommended minimum clearances should be maintained to all surfaces
(combustible and noncombustible) for optimum performance. Noncombustible material within the minimum clearance area
could result in discoloration or deterioration.
WARNING!
If a noncombustible material such as stucco is covering a combustible material such as wood, the minimum clearance
distance needs to be held to the wood. The presence of a noncombustible material inside the clearance zone does not
eliminate the minimum clearance zone to combustible material.
* DEFINITION OF NONCOMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL - Material which is not capable of being ignited and burned,
such as materials consisting entirely of, or a combination of, steel, iron, brick tile, concrete, slate, and plaster.
Clearances to Combustible Construction**:
Minimum of 12” from the sides and rear of grill must be maintained to adjacent vertical combustible construction, above
the counter top level. You should take in account that there is a large volume of heat, and smoke will exhaust from the rear
of the grill. This may discolor or damage unprotected areas (Fig. below). Do not install under unprotected combustible
construction without using a fire safe ventilation system. A 6” minimum clearance must be maintained under the counter
top to combustible construction. The clearance can be modified by a use of an insulated jacket.
** DEFINITION OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
Any materials of a building structure or decorative structure made of wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, vinyl/plastic
or other materials that are capable of transferring heat or being ignited and burned. Such material shall be considered
combustible even though flame-proofed, fire-retardant treated, or painted surface or plastered.
