 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

-Never grill without the drip pan in place and pushed all the way to the back of the grill. Without it,  hot grease could leak downward and produce a 
fire or explosion hazard. 
-Do not locate the grill under overhead unprotected surfaces. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breeze-
ways, or other such enclosed areas. 

THIS UNIT IS FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. 

-If a cart unit is stored indoors the LP cylinder must be disconnected and the LP cylinder stored outside in a well ventilated area, out of reach of 
children. 
-Never use the grill during windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area oceanfront, mountaintop, etc., a windbreak will be required. Al-
ways adhere to the specified clearances. 
-Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. 
-Never place paper inside the grill. 
-The ProFire gas grill is designed for use without lava rock. The use of lava rock or other forms of briquettes may cause a fire hazard. 
-Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the grill. 
-Keep the ventilation opening of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris. 

Only original factory parts should be used when repairing your grill. The use of unapproved or untested parts will void your warranty 
and may cause serious personal harm. 

LOCATING YOUR PROFIRE GRILL 

This gas appliance is designed and certified for outdoor use only. Do not locate this grill under overhead combustible surfaces. Do not operate the 
grill inside a building, garage, recreational vehicle or any enclosed area. When choosing an area, consider exposure to wind, proximity to traffic 
paths and length of gas supply line. Keep gas supply lines as short as possible to reduce pressure drop. Keep the grill away from windy areas, but 
keep the grill in a well-ventilated area. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the grill. The supporting edges of the grill 
must be located level and flat. The counter should also be leveled. 
 

LP GAS CYLINDER VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS 

To prevent invisible combustible gas from accumulating in your cylinder enclosure, you must provide adequate ventilation. This is accomplished by 
having one side of the gas cylinder enclosure left completely open to the outside or by providing four ventilation openings. Two openings are to be 

at the cylinder valve level (approx 16” above the floor) and on opposite walls of the enclosure. Two more openings must be at

 the floor level on 

opposite sides of the enclosure The floor level openings must start at the floor level and shall extend no higher than 5” abo

ve the floor. Each open-

ing must have a minimum 10 square inches of free area. To achieve proper ventilation, you must drill a series of holes, omit grout from the ma-
sonry joints or replace a brick with a hardware cloth screen. If the floor in the cabinet is raised and the space beneath the cabinet is open to the 
outside, the lower ventilation openings may be in the floor. 
For your safety, you must provide these openings for drainage, replacement air and cross ventilation of any storage area exposed to possible leak-
age from gas connections, the barbecue or propane cylinder. 

HOUSEHOLD PROPANE SERVICE 

It is recommended that the same ventilation requirement be used for household propane service as propane cylinders. 
 

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION 

A minimum clearance of 12” from the sides and 12” from the back of the grill 

to adjacent vertical combustible construction must be main-

tained. 

CLEARANCE TO NONCOMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION 

A minimum clearance of 2 1/2” from the back of the grill

 above cooking surface to non-combustible construction is required to allow the grill 

hood to open completely. 

A minimum of 6” clearance to the sides 

of the grill above cooking surface to non-combustible construction is recommended to provide space for 

the rotisserie motor and the spit rod. The grill can be installed directly next to non-combustible construction below the cooking surface.  
 

 
 

MODEL IDENTIFICATION 

Your ProFire Gas Grill is identified by a model number and a serial number located on the rear of the grill behind the side 
burners or on the right side behind the faceplate. Always use both the model and serial numbers when contacting ProFire 
about your grill. For future reference, take the time now to record the model and serial numbers below:
