Operation
WARNING!
To eliminate the risk of burns by
reaching over heated surface units,
cabinet storage space located above
surface units should be avoided. If
cabinet storage is to be provided, the
risk can be reduced by installing a
range hood that projects horizontally
a minimum of 5” beyond the bottom of
the cabinets.
Before making the countertop cutout, check for
clearance. Check to see if the grill will clear
the front and side walls of the base cabinet. It
is also important to provide enough ventilation.
Adequate ventilation of the space below the
countertop must be provided to ensure proper
operation of the grill. Heat transferred from
the grill bottom pan during operation will over-
heat an improperly ventilated area.
2 INCH (51mm) MINIMUM
When making countertop cutout, radius the
corner to help prevent cracking of the countertop
material. A 1/4 inch radius is typical, but follow
the countertop manufacturer’s instructions
regarding the minimum radius and any
reinforcements required to prevent damage to
the countertop over time.
Use Plumber’s Putty to seal grill to countertop.
Plumber’s Putty is a soft, pliable sealing
compound that is used to make watertight seals
around faucets, drains, and other plumbing
parts. The putty is hidden under the flange, lip, or
edge of the grill and is not visible when the grill
is installed. If caulk were used instead of putty,
it would be difficult to access these areas to cut
through the caulk to remove the part.

For your convenience, the grill is equipped
with a 1/2” NPT brass pipe fitting and 90º
brass elbow which you can attach the 5/8” ID
flexible hose that came with your grill.

Remove the protective plastic film from the
lid, trim flange and glass panel. Clean the grill
before you use it for the first time. A thorough
cleaning with a stainless steel or glass cleaner
will remove any traces of plastic film adhesives
and manufacturing oils.
Wash the nonstick coated grates in warm
soapy water before using the grill.
Final Preparations Prior
to Use
Drain fitting for 5/8” ID hose
Plumber’s Putty is a very inexpensive material
that is sold in small plastic tubs. It is always
shaped by hand before it is applied. Follow
the basic instructions on the container of the
Plumber’s Putty. If your countertop is made of
granite, marble, quartz, sandstone or Corian use
a stain-free Plumber’s Putty to prevent staining
of the countertop.
