Use and Care
8 
Check your local building codes for the proper method of installation. If an external electrical source is utilized, 
this outdoor cooking appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes. 
In  the  absence  of  local  codes,  this  unit  should  be  installed  in  accordance  with  the  National  Electrical  Code 
ANSI/NFPA No. 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1, 1990 or latest version. 
•  Before  installing  built-in  grills  in  enclosures,  copy  all  product  information such  as model  number,  serial 
number and store information in a safe place.     
•  If the grill is installed by a professional installer or technician, be sure that he or she shows you where your 
electrical supply shut-off is located.   
Notice:  We strongly  recommend  professional installation  of  your  Coyote  grill.  These  instructions  provide the 
measurements necessary to construct a masonry structure to house your outdoor pellet grill. 
LOCATION OF YOUR GRILL: 
Locate the grill only OUTSIDE in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, 
shed  or  other  such  enclosed  areas  without  an  approved  ventilation  system.  When  in  use,  the  grill  will 
generate a lot of smoke. When installing your grill, select an outdoor location that will ensure there is adequate 
area for the smoke to dissipate IN ORDER TO AVOID INHALATION OF POTENTIALLY TOXIC FUMES. 
Ventilation Requirements for Proper Operation of your Coyote Grill 
•  Ventilation for a pellet grill is absolutely mandatory to ensure that your grill performs as intended and 
to  ensure  the  safety  of  you,  your  family,  and  guests.  Proper  ventilation  is  necessary  to  allow  heat 
inside your grill to escape.   
•  Failure to provide proper ventilation will nullify Coyote’s warranty and will cause a risk of bodily injury 
or death. 
•  If  you  elect  to  install your grill into an  island,  the  island itself must be ventilated properly. Any such 
island must have a minimum of 2 vents (but optimally 4 vents) per cabinet. Each vent must be at least 
20 sq. in in size and have access to outside/fresh air. Those vents will allow heat that is trapped inside 
due  to  wind  to  be  able to  dissipate out  of  the  island vents.  However,  if  the  island  is not  ventilated 
properly and the wind  is coming from the back, then the heat will try to escape through the easiest 
exit,  which  will  most  likely  be  through  the  bottom  of  the  grill  and  front  control  panel. 
•  A simple way to think of what is occurring inside your grill is that when your burners are on, they are 
emitting a flame that creates the heat to cook your food. This heat must exhaust or escape from the 
grill, otherwise you  would eventually have a unit that would not only build up  intense heat but also 
dangerous pressure. This could cause severe damage to not only the grill but any operators or people 
or property near-by. The grill itself allows for ventilation mainly through the rear of the unit above the 
rear  panel  but  below  the  top  of  the  hood.  However,  wind  can  act  as  a  barrier  to  ventilation  and 
exhaust. This blockage of exhaust can cause problems and hazardous conditions. Therefore, great care 
must be taken in selecting a location for your grill and in the installation of it into any masonry island 
or other outdoor structure. This can cause the control panel to get hot to the touch and possibly even 
burn your fingers.   
•  Ventilation and typical wind direction and conditions must always be considered when planning your
