INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Installation must be performed by a qualifi ed professional service
technician.
This unit is designed for outdoor use only. DO NOT use this unit inside
a building, garage, enclosed area, or under an unprotected overhead
combustible construction.
See below and the EXHAUST REMOVAL section on the following
page for details on installing under overhead construction.
DO NOT use this unit in or on a recreational vehicle or boat.
Important: If installing this unit in a combustible surround, the correct
RHP insulating liner must be used.
Important: Refer to the information below to ensure all required
clearances are met.
The grill must have a minimum clearance of 18" from combustible
materials/items AT ALL TIMES.
Overhead Construction Requirements (if applicable)
Non-combustible overhead construction: A 6 foot clearance is required
between the countertop and the construction above (Fig. 9-1).
Combustible overhead construction: A 6 foot clearance is required
between the countertop and the construction above. A vent hood
(see EXHAUST REMOVAL section) or an RHP combustible overhead
protection kit is required directly above the unit. See Fig. 9-1. RHP vent
hoods and protection kits are available, contact your local dealer.
Side and Rear Wall Clearances
For the minimum clearances between the unit and any side or rear
walls, your setup must fall within one (or more) of the following:
A. Clearance between unit and strictly non-combustible wall
(i.e. brick wall, see Fig. 9-2)
• The unit must have a minimum of 4" right, left, and rear
clearance from any non-combustible wall.
(To allow for proper ventilation and prevent dangerous
overheating.)
B. Clearance between unit and a protected combustible wall
(i.e. a non-combustible wall in front of a combustible wall to serve
as a barrier. This can be accomplished by brick, or a metal stud
fi nished with non-combustible substrate, see Fig. 9-3)
• The unit must have a minimum of 14" right, left, and rear
clearance from the protected combustible wall.
(The 4" non-combustible material plus an additional 10"
clearance between the unit and protected wall.)
C. Clearance between unit and combustible wall
• The unit must have a minimum of 18" right, left, and rear
clearance from any combustible wall (see Fig. 9-4).
Backsplash Clearance (if applicable)
If a non-combustible backsplash exists, it must have a minimum of a
4" clearance from the rear of the unit (to allow for proper ventilation
and prevent dangerous overheating). See Fig. 9-5.
Important: This 4" backsplash clearance must fi rst be met prior to
any non-combustible walls beginning behind it.
