Island / Cabinet Cutout Dimensions Non-combustible material(s) 4” 101.6mm W Opening Widt h ateria l(s) 4″ 4-1/2″ busti ble m 6″ Com • 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.
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) Cylinder Specifications • • • • • • • • • Any LP gas supply cylinder used with this grill must be approximately 12 inches in diameter, and 18 inches high. The maximum fuel capacity is 80% and is approximately 20 pounds of propane. The LP cylinder must have a shut-off valve (see picture below) terminating in a Type 1 LP. A Type 1 compatible cylinder with a Type 1 cylinder valve has a back-check valve which does not permit gas flow until a positive seal has been established.
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 and in the off position. 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.
To Disconnect the LP Gas Supply: 1. The tank valve should be in the “OFF” position If not, turn the knob clockwise until it stops. 2. Make sure all burner valves are in the “OFF” position. 3. Turn the coupling nut anticlockwise until the coupler is loose ! Important: Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by the outdoor cooking gas appliance manufacturer.
Using an LP Gas Supply in an Enclosure CSA-listed 3/8” Stainless Steel Flex Connector (Not Included with Purchase) 11” WC Regulator 3/8” Hose Assembly 5” Min + 20 lb. LP Cylinder + + + (Clamp Down Flex Connector) For appliances designed to use a CGA No.791 connection: Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve.
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”.
The use of a rigid pipe, semi-rigid tubing, and / or a connector that complies with the Standard for connectors for Outdoor Gas Appliances and Manufactured Homes, ANSI Z21.75 • CSA 6.27.
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.

Additionally, proper preventive maintenance is required for your own safety. We recommend to maintain and clean the grill at least twice a year.
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. Go over the exterior of the burner with a wire brush several times to loosen debris and residue. 5.

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. Main Burner Screw Shutter Clip 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.
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.
