When determining a suitable location for your side burner, take into account concerns such as
exposure to wind, rain, sprinklers, proximity to traffic paths, and keeping any gas supply line runs as
short as possible.
Locate the side burner only in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the side burner in a building, garage,
breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas without an approved ventilation system. Never locate the
side burner over, under, or next to unprotected combustible construction.
Using the side burner in windy areas can disrupt the flame, especially on low or simmer settings. This
may cause nuisance sparking of the igniter. Relocate to a less windy area. If the side burner is mounted
in an enclosure (island), you may need to build a wind-break to avoid this issue in the future.
When installing a side burner or other gas appliance into an enclosure (island), the enclosure must be
constructed with ventilation openings to avoid accumulation of gas should there be a leak. See the
INSTALLATION section of this manual for details. Keep the area underneath the side burner free of
debris.
Ensure all packaging, straps, etc. have been removed from the side burner. Remove any tie-down wires
from the burners.
Keep the area underneath the side burner free of debris.
Ensure that the burner cap is mounted correctly on the
burner ring. Do not operate the side burner without the
burner cap in place (see Fig. 1).

INSTALLATION
CLEARANCES:
TO NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION
A minimum of 4” (10 cm) clearance from the back of the side burner to non-combustible construction is
required.
TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION
This appliance may be installed over, under or next to unprotected combustible construction. A minimum
clearance to vertical combustible material is 12” (30 cm) on the sides and the rear of the appliance.
The minimum vertical clearance to combustible materials means that ALL combustible materials must be
outside this 12” (30 cm) zone. As an example, if you have an island with a stucco or tiled surface and wood-
frame construction beneath, the wood is considered combustible, even though the side burner is touching
the stucco or tile surface, which is non-combustible. In extreme circumstances, the wood could potentially
get hot enough to burn.
VENTILATION OPENINGS
A minimum of three 10 in² (65 cm²) of ventilation openings must be provided for both left and right sides
of your enclosure (island), as well as the back. These openings are required to safely dissipate gas vapors if
there is a leak in your enclosure.
