THE WIND
?
When selecting a suitable location, consider important fac-
tors such as exposure to the wind and foot-traffi c patterns
.
If you have a freestanding grill, position it so the prevailing
wind blows into the front control panel (at your back when
grilling), su

orting the

er front-to-rear airfl ow
.
Built-in grills located in areas with
p
revailing winds should
be
p
rotected by a wind barrier.
Winds hittin
g
the

ck
of the grill directly may cause prob-
k

HOW LONG IS YOUR RUN
?
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible because gas
lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow and
t
ee that is added. This drop in pressure affects grill per
-
f
ormance. (See INDEX: “Gas Supply Line Runs” for furthe
r
details.

“

N-THE-LEVEL”
?
Proper leveling during installation is critical. A grill that is
out of level will

cient, uneven heating. A carpenter’s spirit level should be
used to level the grill both front-to-back and side-to-side
.
If the fl oor is uneven or has a decided slope, re-leveling
may be required each time you move a freestanding unit.
Be sure wind doesn’t blow into the hood gap.
