INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS (cont.)
The control panel MUST remain removable for
servicing and air shutter adjustment (see PARTS
LIST).
ENSURING PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND
COOLING AIRFLOW
Proper airfl ow (Fig. 10-1) MUST be maintained for
the grill to perform as it was designed. If airfl ow
is blocked, overheating and poor combustion will
result. Do not block the 1" (2.5 cm) front air inlet
along the bottom of the control panel or more
than 75% of the cooking grid surface with pans
or griddles.
Note: The 1" (2.5 cm) front air space also
allows access to the drip tray.
EXHAUST REMOVAL
If installed or used under a patio roof, the cooking
grid area must be fully covered by an exhaust
hood with a vent. An exhaust fan with a rating of
1,000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) (472 liters per
second) or more may be necessary to effectively
remove smoke and other cooking by-products from
the area under the hood.
Fire Magic Vent Hoods are
available to meet this requirement.
This outdoor grill
must not be used under unprotected overhead
combustible construction. THIS UNIT MUST NOT
BE LOCATED IN A FULLY ENCLOSED AREA
OF ANY KIND.
CAUTION: Wind blowing into or across the rear
oven lid vent (Fig. 10-2) can cause
poor performance and/or dangerous
overheating. Orient the grill so that the
prevailing wind blows toward the front
of the grill (Fig. 10-3).
YOU MUST PROTECT REAR OVEN

unit. An outdoor approved fl exible connector can
be used to connect your household gas supply to
the grill. DO NOT use a rubber hose within the
enclosure for the grill . Apply only joint compounds
that are resistant to all gasses on all male pipe
fi ttings. Make sure to tighten every joint securely.

should be no longer than 20'.
An external valve (with a removable key) in the
