LOCATING GRILL – Grill Cut-Out Dimensions Grill Cut-Out Your grill is SELF-RIMMING, meaning the lip of grill rests on top of the counter edge around the cut-out with the front of grill which is Free-Hanging from counter top. Because of this, there is No Need for any Trim-Kit like with many other grills in the market. 1. Maintain 24” Clearance from any Combustible Materials in ANY direction of Grill. 2.
LOCATING GRILL – Installing into Open Area Windy Conditions Your grill is specially designed to draw fresh air in through the front, and in direct to the bottom burners. When grilling the hot gases are then released through the back of grill through a venting system. Using your grill in windy conditions may disrupt the front-to-back air flow. 1. For breezy days, be careful not to leave the front hood down for more than 15 minutes, when the burners are on. (Never leave grill unattended when in operation) 2.
LOCATING GRILL– Installing into Windy Open Area ATTENTION: Take special precaution when installing grill in open Breezy area, check the direction of Prevailing Wind, if back of grill is facing any oncoming wind or breeze, be sure to protect the back of grill, and erect a partition wall, or only use grill with hood open on breezy days. Windy Area Positioning your grill in your backyard is more often thought of how it is pleasing to the eye, but more important than this is how that it functions correctly.
LOCATING GRILL– Installing under overhead structure Overhead Structure Definition: Structure built above Appliance that is sometimes attached to the home’s exterior outside wall or roof and there is a Minimum of “Two” adjacent sides which are open with outside exposure.
LOCATING GRILL – Installing into Enclosed Area 13
LOCATING GRILL – Installing into Enclosed Area Enclosed Island Definition: Any Appliance that is installed into “Enclosed” structure with Two or more sides walled off, either into an outdoor home’s patio structure, against any home exterior wall or under any Eaves of the home. Clearances to Non-Combustible Construction*: A minimum of 4” to 6” clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required for the purpose of allowing the lid to open fully.
GRILL INSTALLATION- Light Transformer Installation 1. Locate the transformer Remove the transformer from the plastic bag located in the interior of grill. Make sure the Transformer is complete, and double check the grill light plug cord is properly secured to transformer, and all wires are firmly fixed into plastic clip plug. 2.

GRILL INSTALLATION – Propane Tank Types Types of Propane Tanks: Propane tanks are mainly used alongside stoves, water heaters, grills, generators, and welding equipment. These bottles or metal cylinders contain propane, a type of alkaline gas that has been compressed and transformed into liquid form. Transporting, storing, and using propane safely can only be possible if it is held inside tanks or containers. Since propane has various applications, many types of tanks are being used as propane containers.
GRILL INSTALLATION – Propane Tank Types WARNING: If you have a Side Yard Propane Tank, you MUST have additional Medium Pressure Regulator located at the Grill. If you do not serious bodily harm may result or damage to the grill and island structure from HIGH Heat extremes.
GRILL INSTALLATION – LP Gas Line Connections 1. For this type of installation, it is most similar to the NG gas installation method, only the regulator is set for liquid propane. First you will install a gas pipe, coming into island from outside, be sure the Safety Shut-Off valve is easily accessible. 2. Next, locate the gas manifold on grill, for this type of installation, the 1/2" to 3/8" flare adapter, and LP Regulator Hose that comes with your LP Grill is not needed.

Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or LP, and make sure the marking on the appliance rating label agrees with that of the supply. All pipe sealants must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of LP gas. Never use pipe sealant on flare fittings.
GRILL INSTALLATION – Propane Tank Connections Hose and Regulator The Type 1 connection system has the following features: The system will not allow gas to flow until a positive connection has been made. NOTE: The cylinder control valve must be turned off before any connection is made or removed. The system has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas in the event of a fire. The system has a flow limiting device which, when activated, will limit the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.
