BUILT-IN INSTALLATION
The Altima grill can be installed as a built-in unit as shown. The island that holds the built-in unit
must be
constructed of
Non-combustible
material.
General Information
Review the detail drawings shown and take into account the provisions shown for gas line hook-up
clearance on the right side. It is recommended that ventilation holes are provided in the enclosure in
the event of a gas leak. The supporting ledges or deck must be level and flat. The counter should also
be level.
Location
When determining a suitable location take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity
to traffic paths and keeping any gas supply lines as short as possible. Locate the grill only in a well
ventilated area. Never locate the grill in a building, breezeway, garage, shed or other such enclosed
area without an approved ventilation system. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of smoke.
Ensure there is adequate area for it to dissipate.
Clearance to Non-Combustible Construction
A minimum of 3” clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required for
the purpose of allowing the lid to open fully. It is desirable to allow at least 6” side clearance to non-
combustible construction above the cooking surface for counter space. If you will be using the rotis-
serie option, the space is essential for motor and skewer clearance. The Altima grill can be place
directly adjacent to non-combustible construction below the cooking surface.
Island Construction
The island is usually constructed of steel studs and 3/8” Durarock or a similar concrete board product,
with the top being tiled and the body covered in stucco, painted or textured. The top of the diagram
below is designed to hold the main grill body, while the bottom portion is used to hold the Access
Doors in place. The ignitor cover plates are installed to hold the electronic starters in place.
Ignitor Plate Installation
The push button ignitors require a standard size electrical box with a minimum depth of 2.5” to be
mounted in the island unit. They should be placed on the front side of the built-in island, with the cen-
ter of the ignitor button no more than 5” from the grill unit. The ignitor plates, sold separately, fit
over the standard electrical box once mounted in the island unit. (See drawing on following page).
