The built - in model of the Patio grill is shipped completely assembled and is ready to be
placed into the cut - out of a custom cabinet or island. No fasteners are required be-
cause the weight of the grill will hold it securely in place. However, the counter top
must be made of a non - combustible material, such as metal, tile on cement
board, stucco, stone, granite, marble, brick or polished cement. If the cabinet en-
closure is built of non combustible materials, no ventilation beneath the countertop is
required.
Clearances to Combustible Materials Above the Countertop
When installing the Patio built - in grill, clearances to combustible materials must be ob-
served. The grill should not be placed closer than 24” from the side and back of the grill
head to combustible construction or other combustible materials located above the
countertop.

Ven-
tilation Requirements And Clearances For
Grill Enclosures Built With Combustible Materials
When a cabinet or island for a built - in Patio grill is constructed of combustible materials,
the floor of the enclosure must be at least 25.5” below the bottom of the grill. The cabi-
net itself must be vented in two places, front and back, whether or not an LP tank is
contained within the enclosure. Each vent should provide 35 sq. inches of unobstructed
ventilation. The front cabinet vent should be centered below the grill at the bottom of the
cabinet. It can be concealed by cutting the vent opening into the floor on the inside of
the enclosure, just behind the cabinet doors. This will allow the grill to vent directly to
the outside of the cabinet above the toe kick. The back cabinet vent should be posi-
tioned behind the grill, at the top of the cabinet. A ventilation cover can be placed over
the vent openings as long as it provides at least 35 sq. inches of open area.
If the LP gas cylinder is to be contained in the enclosure, the enclosure must be built in
accordance with the specifications under
“ Enclosures for Self - Contained LP Gas Cylin-
ders. ”
