Island / Cabinet Cutout Dimensions Do not store extra propane or butane tanks in proximity to your gas grill. All BBQ islands must be manufactured from non-combustible material(s). Minimum clearance to combustible construction material(s) is 24” from the back and sides. Built-in islands and cabinets must be equipped with vents to allow for proper ventilation and combustion. 4” x 6” vents or larger are required.
Maintaining Adequate Ventilation When building a gas grill into outdoor cabinetry or an island, it is important to maintain proper ventilation. Ventilation is required to prevent the build-up of gas, which could ultimately lead to improper performance of the gas grill; damage to the grill; fire, explosion, or injury to the user. Always make sure that there is proper ventilation and that all flammable materials are placed at least 24 inches away from the grill on all side.
Installing the Gas Grill Tip: Gather the model and serial number from the product label and write them down before installing the gas grill(s). Notes About Installation The gas grill should be installed in accordance with all local code requirements in addition to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54. Installation by a professional is highly recommended for proper placement and functionality.
Liquid Propane (LP) Installation and Requirements: Grills operated with LP fuel must be installed with the supplied LP regulator. EdgeStar LP grills are designed to be used with a standard 20 lb. Department of Transportation (DOT) approved LP tank. No tanks larger than 20 lbs. are to be used. The tank must be marked in accordance with the latest DOT specification for LP gas tanks: Specifications for LP gas Cylinders (DOT CFR49).
To Connect the LP Gas Supply: 1. Ensure the 20 lb. LP tank valve is fully closed. To do so, make sure the tank handle is turned all the way clockwise. You should not hear a hissing noise or smell propane. 2. All gas control (burner) knobs must be in the off position. 3. Align the 3/8” brass coupling nut with the LP tank threads; turn the coupling nut clockwise by hand. Note that the fittings have flared ends and do not require any modifications or sealant.
6. Once you have confirmed that all connections are secure and there are no gas leaks, you may proceed with normal use of your grill. All connection points must be free from gas leaks before first use of the gas grill. 7. A reminder to always close the LP tank valve [by turning the handle clockwise] when the grill is not in use.
Natural Gas (NG) Installation and Requirements: Ensure that the natural gas supply line is fitted with a shut-off valve that can be easily accessed in the event that shutoff at the source is required. Grills operated with NG fuel must be installed with the NG regulator supplied with your EdgeStar grill. EdgeStar NG grills are equipped with an NG regulator set to 4 inches water column. This regulator is for NG only. The standard fitting connector for an NG supply is 1/2”.

Checking for Gas Leaks At least once every six months, and any time a tank is disconnected and reconnected, perform a leak test. Additionally, any time any components including the gas supply lines or the regulator are replaced, perform a leak test. Never use the grill without testing for gas leaks first. WARNING: Do not test for gas leaks with an open flame. When testing for leaks, make sure all gas control knobs are in the off position.
Electrical Requirements ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD! Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Never use an adapter to bypass the grounding prong. DO NOT use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electrical shock, or death. Before you install your gas grill into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended Grounding Method For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-pronged wall socket, and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
Included Cooking Components CAUTION: The included ceramic flame tamers are only meant for use with the main cast burners. Do not install the ceramic flame tamers over the included infrared burner(s) as they will be damaged. For information on purchasing additional / substitute burners, please visit www.edgestar.com.
Operation Important: You must always have the grill hood open when lighting the gas grill. Otherwise, you risk build-up of gas and possible fire or explosion. Important: To avoid risk of injury, always keep your face and body as far away as possible from the grill when lighting. As you proceed to operate the grill, note that surfaces may be hot and pose a burn hazard. Take care around the grill and make sure to never leave it unattended. Children should not operate the grill.

NEVER turn on the grill without testing for leaks first. Keep all body parts as far away from the grill as possible. Never smoke while lighting the grill. 2. Open the grill hood. 3. With all gas control (burner) knobs in the OFF position, open the gas supply. 4.
Manually Lighting the Burner(s) Important: If you have tried lighting your burners using the Piezo-style system, wait at least five (5) minutes before manually lighting the burners. Leave the hood open and allow gas to dissipate to avoid a possible hazard. 1. Make sure you have observed all safety warnings in this manual. Follow the instructions for connecting the gas supply. NEVER turn on the grill without testing for leaks first. Keep all body parts as far away from the grill as possible.
6. Push the gas control (burner) knob in, and rotate counterclockwise to the “High” position marking on the knob. 7. Repeat steps 4-6 for each main burner you need to light. 8. Close the lid and allow the burners to run on “High” for about five minutes to burn off extra gas and residue. 9. Open the lid and adjust the burner knobs to your desired cooking temperature. 10. Safely dispose of the match(es) and replace the manual lighting clip extension on the drip tray.
Manually Lighting the Rear Burner Important: If you tried lighting the rear burner with the burner knob and were unable, wait at least five (5) minutes before manually lighting the burner. Leave the hood open and allow gas to dissipate to avoid a possible hazard. 1. Make sure you have observed all safety warnings in this manual. Follow the instructions for connecting the gas supply. NEVER turn on the grill without testing for leaks first. Keep all body parts as far away from the grill as possible. 2.
Cleaning and Maintenance Caution: Always ensure that the gas supply is fully turned off prior to performing any cleaning and maintenance on your grill. Never attempt to clean parts of the grill while they are still hot. Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life. Additionally, proper preventive maintenance is required for your own safety. Use a pipe cleaner or wire to clear any blockages in the tubes that lead into the burners.
2. Use a bristled brush and run it through the orifices of the burner several times. 3. Go over the exterior of the burner with a wire brush several times to loosen debris and residue. You may also wipe it with a terry cloth or damp rag without using any chemicals. For stubborn scale, you may use a scraper. 4. Look at all burner ports (the small openings) and run a pipe cleaner or thin wire through them. 5. Analyze the burner for corrosion and any damage caused by corrosion. 6.
Inspecting / Adjusting the Air Shutter If necessary, the gas to air mixture feeding to the main cast burners can be adjusted. With the main burner removed from the firebox, loosen the screw shown in the image below. Rotate the shutter clip. Tighten the screw and reinstall the burner. Note: Before adjusting the air shutter, ensure that the burner has been cleaned. Note: The ideal flame coming off of the main burner is 1” – 1-1/2” tall. The color should be blue with yellow peaks.
Cleaning the Drip Tray The removable drip tray will collect grease as you use your grill. Inspect the drip tray frequently to ensure that grease and debris do not build up. The drip tray can be wiped with a warm soapy water mixture and a terry cloth. Use a wire brush, if necessary, to loosen hardened grease. Warning: Grease build-up poses a fire hazard. Clean the drip tray regularly.
