Grill Island Preparation
GSL-32 and GS-32 Operator Manual
The following planning considerations are provided as general information only. You must consult with a
licensed contractor to ensure safe and proper design, construction, ventilation, and installation in
accordance with all applicable codes.
Because the amount of venting required varies on a case-by-case basis, consult with a license contractor and
local codes for adequate ventilation requirements. Keep all enclosure ventilation opening free and clear
from any debris or obstructions.
Planning Considerations
Building permit:
Check with city and fire department for local building codes. A permit may be required for a
custom-built grill island.
Materials
: All custom-built grill islands must be constructed using only non-combustible materials. If any
combustible materials are used, an insulated jacket must be added between the grill and the island.
Adequate ventilation:
Ensure there is adequate ventilation, for both the grill and LP gas cylinder, to allow
proper combustion and to prevent gas build up.
Compartments:
A heat shield is required beneath the grill head. A plenum wall is required to create a
separate compartment for the LP gas cylinder. If multiple LP appliances are in use, each LP cylinder requires
its own vented compartment.
Firm level surface:
Use your grill only on a firm level surface. This grill is not designed for use in or on a
recreational vehicle, and should not be installed or used on a boat, marine craft, or other moving
conveyance.
Propane tank mount:
Your island must be equipped with a propane tank mounting bracket for a 20 lb
Protection from weather:
Keep the grill protected from adverse weather, including rain and wind. Custom-
fitted covers are available for purchase that have been specially designed for this grill.
Gas supply line:
Pay careful attention to the gas line location. It should be routed away from sources of
heat, sharp edges and rough surfaces, and should make as few bends as possible.
Gas supply access:
When your grill is installed, you should have clear access to the gas supply line including
the gas piping or hose, gas regulator, gas cylinder and any shut off valves. A safety shut off valve is required
at the gas supply connection point.
Partial enclosures:
Many backyards have areas that are partially closed off, such as balconies and pergolas.
In some cases, it is hard to decide whether these partially enclosed areas should be classified as indoor
areas, particularly in terms of permanent (non-closable) ventilation. If you are in doubt, consult your local
codes or a licensed contractor for guidance.
Measure:
Always have equipment measured by a Contractor before building.
