Planning the Best Location 1 Here are some of the things that you will need to consider when determining where to place your new barbecue island. Safety First Do not place your barbecue island near trees and shrubs. Be certain that your installation will meet all city and local safety codes and requirements. Consider How You Will Use Your Barbecue Island Your barbecue island is mainly used for family recreation. Be sure to leave plenty of room around it for activity.
2 Preparing a Good Foundation Your barbecue island needs a solid and level foundation. Damage caused by inadequate or improper foundation support is not covered by the warranty. It is the responsibility of the owner to provide a proper foundation for the barbecue island. If you do not already have a location for your barbecue island, we recommend you have a concrete slab prepared to accommodate it.
Electrical Requirements 3 You do not need to hire a contractor to install your electrical service, but you must ensure you have all required permits and the installation complies with State and local code. We recommend you hire a certified contractor if you do not wish to do the installation yourself. If your dealer is not a certified contractor, you will need to hire a contractor for installation of your electrical service.
4 Natural Gas Installation You do not need to hire a contractor to install your natural gas service, but you need to make sure you have all required permits and ensure the installation complies with State and local code. We recommend you hire a certified contractor if you do not wish to do the installation yourself. If your dealer is not a certified contractor, you will need to hire a contractor for installation of your gas service.
5 Water and Drainage Installation If you have a sink or ice maker installed, there are several ways you can provide water and drainage to your barbecue island. A contractor can help you decide on the best solution for your needs. You are responsible for ensuring all plumbing and drainage complies with State and local codes. Water Sources Garden hose -- This is by far the easiest way of getting water to your barbecue island.
6 Installation After Delivery For more information on installing your grill and accessories, see the grill owner’s manual. If your barbecue island has two or more pieces, the delivery crew will mate pieces and bolt them together. When sections are aligned and in place, the crew will apply grout and do whatever else is necessary cosmetically to ensure the barbecue island is attractive and presentable.
7 Light Switch Installation If you have the hardware interior island option, you will need to install the light kit. The kit consists of a 12-volt light, a wiring harness and a microswitch and bracketry. The microswitch mounts to the bracket with a supplied set of screws and nuts. Once you mount the the switch bracketry, choose a location for the light. The light can be mounted anywhere in the island that provides you with the light you need for your internal storage area.
8 Cleaning and Maintenance About Natural Stone A natural characteristic of granite and marble is its inherent lack of uniformity. Because it is a completely natural material, it can have a great deal of variation in color, shade, finish, tint, hardness, strength, and so on. Any time you use natural stone, you can always expect differences from one tile to the next. You will frequently see dry seams, pit or fossils. These areas are often filled in at the factory.
9 tary color. After the filler sets and is sanded smooth, apply a weather sealant to help prevent further cracking. Granite Top Clean stone surfaces with a few drops of neutral cleaner, stone soap (available from Monticello Granite) or a mild liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Use a clean rag for best results. Too much cleaner or soap may leave a film and cause streaks. Do not use products that contain lemon, vinegar or other acids on the granite the high acid content may etch the surface.
10 epoxied back into place. The chip can also be filled with colored epoxy to match the surrounding stone. Repairing this kind of damage should be left to other knowledgeable professionals. Tile If spillage occurs, then clean up as soon as possible. Care • Protect against chipping by using a cutting board. • Protect against scratches, especially on natural stone tiles. • Avoid hard blows that can chip the tile.
11 DO’s and DON’Ts of Tile Care • Do test scouring pads in a small area first. • Do use a silicone sealer on grout joints if continuous staining is a problem. • Do read and follow label directions for all cleaners. • Do keep this information and refer to it when necessary. • Do not combine ammonia and household bleaches. • Do not use harsh cleaning agents (such as steel wool pads) which can scratch or damage the surface of your tile. • Do not place sharp object on tile surface.
12 Synthetic Panel Do’s • Do dust surfaces frequently. • Do clean synthetic panels with water and mild detergent. Don’ts • • • • Don’t use any cleaning chemical to clean or wash synthetic panels. Don’t use vinegar, lemon juice or other cleaners containing acids. Don’t use cleaners that contain acid such as bathroom cleaners. Don’t mix bleach and ammonia; this combination creates a toxic and lethal gas.
13 Cleaning Products and Materials Avoid using these common cleaning products and materials – they will damage the surface of your stainless steel.
14 1. Clean Thoroughly clean stains, food, and grime using a sponge or damp cloth with warm water and a mild dish soap. Use Fantastik or Formula 409 to remove heavier soil. 2. Rinse Thoroughly rinse all surfaces and dry them completely with a clean towel. Do not allow stainless steel to air dry. 3. Polish We strongly recommend that you apply a surface protectant to all exposed stainless steel surfaces.
15 Rust Removal It is a common misconception that stainless steel does not rust. It does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel (it stains less), but it is not stain-proof. If not properly protected and maintained, it can corrode, pit, and discolor. Because salt will accelerate rust and corrosion, grill or barbecue island owners who live near the beach need to be diligent in maintaining their stainless steel hardware.
16 Cleaning the Interior of Your Grill 1. Thoroughly clean stains, food, and grime using a sponge or damp cloth with warm water and a mild dish soap. Use Fantastik or Formula 409 to remove heavier soil. 2. Thoroughly rinse all surfaces and dry them completely with a clean towel. Do not allow water to accumulate and puddle on stainless steel. Water from various sources such as garden hoses contains iron which will give the appearance of rusting on stainless steel.
17 Cooking Grates Use a solution equal parts detergent and hot water just as you would for any cooking equipment. A stiff wire brush or steel wool may also be helpful in removing grime and food deposits. Note Do not use a wire brush or stainless steel on any other part of your grill or any other stainless steel surface except the cooking grates or the griddle! Drip Pan The full width drip pan will collect grease from the main grill area.
