Use and Care Manual

Check your local building codes for the proper method of installation. In the absence of local codes, this unit
should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code No. Z223.1-1998 USA or CAN/CGA-B149.1/.2
Natural Gas/Propane Code (Canada) latest edition or 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 type of grill (e.g. natural gas or LP) and store information in a safe place.
- If the grill is installed by a professional installer or technician, be sure that he shows you where your gas
supply shut-off is located. All gas lines must have a shut-off that is readily and easily accessible. If you
smell gas, check for gas leaks immediately. Check only with a soap and water solution. Never check for gas
leaks with an open flame.
Notice: We strongly recommend professional installation and hookup of the Gas BBQ grill. These instructions will
provide you with the measurements necessary for you or your builder to construct a masonry structure to house
your outdoor gas grill.
IMPORTANT: Gas fittings, regulator, and installer supplied shut-off valves must be easily accessible.
LOCATION OF YOUR GRILL:
Locate the grill only 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. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot
of smoke. Ensure there is adequate area for it to dissipate.
Ventilation Requirements for Proper Operation of your Coyote Grill
• Ventilation for a gas grill is absolutely mandatory to ensure that your grill performs as intended and to
ensure the safety of you and your family. The vents that are required to honor a Coyote warranty, not
only ensure that any heat that is trapped inside your grill from environmental factors (such as wind)
escape but they also allow any gas that has leaked from a tank or connection, to escape before a
buildup of such gas can occur and possibly ignite.
• 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 from the grill,
otherwise you would eventually have a unit that would not only build up immense heat but also
immense pressure. This could cause severe damage to not only the grill but any operators or property
near by. With that said, if you have wind coming into the back of your unit, the problem will not be
with the wind hitting your flames and causing them to push the flame downward. The problem
actually lies with the wind acting as a block for the exhaust, which is mainly out the back of the hood
(above the rear panel but below the top of the hood). This blockage of exhaust is what starts the
problems.
• If the island is ventilated properly (with a minimum of 2 vents for cross ventilation and at least 20 sq in
on each vent) then any heat that is trapped inside due to wind should 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. This can cause the control panel and knobs to get hot to the touch
and possibly even burn your fingers, not to mention that it can melt all rubber gaskets on the valves
