Locating the  Grill 

This  gas  appliance  is  designed  and  certified  for  outdoor  use  only.  Do  not 
operate the grill inside a building, garage, recreation  vehicle, screened porch 
or any enclosed area. 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.

 

Warning: 

Do not place the grill under overhead, unprotected 

combustible surfaces.

 

Clearance to Combustible Construction 

A  minimum  clearance  of  36  in.  from  the  sides  of  the  grill  and  a  minimum 
clearance  of  36  in.  from  the  back  of  the  grill  to  adjacent  vertical  combustible 
constructions  must  be  maintained.  However,  the  manufacturer  strongly 
suggests a 6 ft. clearance of the grill to combustible constructions.

 

Clearance to Noncombustible Construction 

A  minimum  clearance  of  36  in.  from  the  back  of  the  grill  above  the  cooking 
surface  to  noncombustible  constructions  is  required  to  allow  the  grill  hood  to 
open completely. A minimum of 36 in. clearance to the sides of the grill above 
the  cooking  surface  to  noncombustible  constructions  is  recommended.  The 
grill  can  be  installed  directly  next  to  noncombustible  construction  below  the 
cooking surface. 

Checking orifice alignment with burners 

Orifices may shift during assembly and movement; therefore, check the orifice 
alignment with the burners according to the following illustrations before lighting.
