This appliance shall only be used in an above ground open-air situation with natural ventilation, without
stagnant areas, where gas leakage and products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural
convection.
Any outdoor enclosure in which the appliance is used shall comply with one of the following:
An enclosure with walls on all sides, but at least one permanent opening at ground level and no overhead
cover. See Figure 1.
Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and no more than two walls. See Figure 2 & 3.
Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and more than two walls, the following shall apply:
- At least 25% of the total wall area is completely open; and
- At least 30% of the remaining wall area is open and unrestricted. See Figure 4 & 5.
In the case of balconies, at least 20% of the total of the side, back and front wall areas shall be and remain
open and unrestricted.
The following diagrams provide a diagrammatic representation of outdoor areas. Rectangular areas have been
used in these figures - the same principles apply to any other shaped area.

Cleaning and Maintenance cont’d
b) Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle. Run the brush through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner
several times, removing any debris.
c) Use an air hose to force air through each Burner Tube. The forced air should pass debris or obstructions
through the Burner and out the ports.
Regardless of which Burner cleaning procedure you use, we recommend you also complete the following steps
to help prolong Burner life.
1. Use a brass wire brush to clean the entire outer surface of each Burner until free of food residue and dirt.
2. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as an open paper clip.
3. Inspect each Burner for damage (cracks or holes) and if such damage is found, order and install a new
Burner. After installation, check to insure that the Gas Valve Nozzle are correctly placed inside the ends of
the Burner Tubes. Also check the position of your Spark Electrode.
WARNING: The location of the Burner Tube with respect to the Nozzle is vital for safe operation. Check to
ensure the Orifice is inside of the Burner Tube before using your Outdoor Cooking Centre. See below. If the
Burner Tube does not fit over the Nozzle, lighting the Burner may cause explosion and/or fire.
a) Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger works well) into a small hook as shown below. Run the hook
through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner several times to remove any debris.
