BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Important Safety Information
Before installing your American Muscle Grill, please read and
follow these important precautions:
Attention:
• This gas grill must be installed in accordance with all
local codes.
• If installation is planned in an area with no local codes,
the gas grill must be installed in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 and storage and
handling of liqueed petroleum gases, ANSI/NFPA 58 or
CSA B149.1 natural gas and propane installation code.
DANGER - If You Smell Gas
1. Shut off the gas supply to the appliance at its source.
2. Extinguish any open ames.
3. Open grill hood to release any accumulation of gas
vapor.
4. If a gas odor persists, keep away from your appliance
contact your gas supplier and/ or re department im-
mediately.
DANGER !
EXPLOSION HAZARD.
Do not use the gas grill as storage area for
ammable materials. Keep area free and clear
from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other ammable vapors and liquids. Failure to
do so can result in death, explosion, or re.
WARNING !
• Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable liquids
or vapor in the vicinity of this or any other appliances
• An LP cylinder not connected for use shall not be stored
in the vicinity of this or any other appliances.
!!! WARNING !!!
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
• The burning of gas and solid cooking fuels generates
some by-products known to the State of California
to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law
requires businesses to warn customers of potential ex-
posure to such substances. To minimize your exposures
to such substances, always operate the unit as outlined
in these instructions, ensuring that you provide good
ventilation while cooking.
WARNING !
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock or injury, read and
follow these basic precautions before operating your gas
grill or side burners.
WARNING!
• Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Read
these Installation, Operating & Maintenance Instruc-
tions thoroughly before installing or servicing this
equipment.
• Never move the grill when hot. During and after use,
portions of the grill are hot enough to cause severe
burns.
• Always maintain the required clearances from combusti-
bles as detailed in the following section.
• Always have an ABC Fire Extinguisher accessible —
never attempt to extinguish a grease re with water or
other liquids.
• Store your grill in a well-ventilated area. If stored in-
doors, detach and leave any LP cylinders outdoors in a
secure, well-ventilated area away from heat and away
from anywhere children may tamper with it.
• Keep any electrical supply cord and fuel supply hose
away from any heated surfaces. Electrical cords should
be placed away from walkways to avoid a tripping
hazard.
• If the grill is installed by a professional installer or
technician, be sure that he/she shows you where your
gas supply shut-off is located. All gas lines must have a
shut-off that is readily and easily accessible. If you smell
gas, check for gas leaks immediately. Check only with a
soap and water solution. Never check for gas leaks with
open ame.
• Installation must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and
Handling Code, B149.2, in Canada.

PREPARATION
Choosing Your Location
Your AMG grill has been carefully designed for easy placement
and operation on your outdoor room, patio or deck.
Before installation, it is important to carefully select, plan,
and prepare the location of your new grill. When selecting a
location, consider important factors such as gas line access,
exposure to wind and foot-trafc, and areas where people
congregate. Avoid locating the grill in areas where it may be
accidentally touched or bumped. Most importantly, this is an
outdoor appliance. Ensure your barbecue is positioned safely
away from anything that can catch re. Under no circum-
stance is this grill to be used indoors. This includes garages or
any other enclosed area.
WARNING!
• Never locate the grill under a roof or overhang, in a
building, garage, shed or other such enclosed area.
• Never locate the grill under combustible construction.
• Never locate the grill where the gas hose could create a
safety hazard, or be exposed to damage.
• Gas grills are not designed or certied for and are not
to be installed in or on recreational vehicles, portable
trailers, boats or any other moving installation.
• Children should never be left unattended in an area
where a grill is located. Place your grill well away from
areas where children play. Do not store items that may
interest children in or around the grill, in the cart, or in
the masonry enclosure.
NOTE !
Partial Enclosures:
• Many backyards have areas that are partially enclosed
such as balconies and pergolas. In some cases, it is hard
to determine whether these areas should be classi-
ed as indoor areas, particularly in terms of permanent
(non-closable) ventilation. If you are uncertain how to
categorize a partial enclosure, contact the authority hav-
ing jurisdiction for help describing the space.
Prevailing Wind
The American Muscle Grill design includes a wind deecting
spoiler at the rear of the grill, however winds blowing directly
in the back of the grill can still affect burner performance and
proper air ow which may cause overheating.
If you have a freestanding grill, position it so the prevailing
wind blows toward the front control panel (at your back when
grilling) for the proper front-to-rear airow. Built-in grills
located in areas with prevailing winds should be protected by
a wind barrier.
Clearances to Combustibles
IMPORTANT!
• Never install this product in a combustible enclosure
without an accessory grill liner. Doing so could result in
re, property damage, and personal injury.
• Maintain at least 15 inches of clearance between the
sides and back of the grill and any combustible surface
or material.
• Maintain at least 6 inches of clearance between the
sides and back of the grill and any non-combustible
surface or material.
• Do not locate the grill under any overhead combustible
construction
Proper Ventilation
Ensure there is adequate fresh air ventilation for both the
barbecue and cylinder if your grill operates on LP gas. This is
required not only for proper combustion, but also to prevent
gas buildup and a possible explosion.
Keep it Level
Use your barbecue only on a rm level surface. Proper leveling
during installation is critical both front-to-back and side-to-
side. A grill that is out of level will experience erratic burner
combustion and inefcient, uneven heating.
Protection from Weather
Keep the barbecue protected from adverse weather, includ-
ing rain and high winds. A Polyvinyl cover is included that has
been custom designed for your AMG grill. Always keep your
grill covered when not in use.
WARNING !
If your grill includes the optional rotisserie kit and you store
the rotisserie rod at the back of the grill, always remove the
rear of the cover rst, carefully avoiding the rotisserie rod so
it doesn’t fall from the grill. The rotisserie rod is very heavy
and sharp and can cause severe personal injury.
Easy Access
Allow clear access to the gas supply hose and regulator. When
your grill is installed, you should be able to access the gas sup-
ply line, including the gas piping or hose, gas regulator, gas
cylinder and any shut off valves.
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible because gas lines
lose pressure over distance and with each elbow and tee that
is added. This drop in pressure affects grill performance.
Built-In Installations
The AMG is designed for easy installation into built-in mason-
ry enclosures constructed of non-combustible materials, or in
a builtin enclosure constructed of combustible material when
installed with a grill liner.

6
Before installing a grill in any island or cut out, make sure that
the opening is not bigger than the outside frame of the grill
unit. The grill should rest on the entire lip of the frame. Refer
to gure 1. and table 1. below for proper dimensions.
Be sure the planned location’s prevailing wind doesn’t blow
toward the hood gap at the back of the grill. This can cause
poor grill performance as well as overheating.
Pay careful attention to the location of the gas line. It should
be routed away from sources of heat and should make as few
bends as possible.
Check to see if the gas line connection will be accessible when
grill is installed. If the gas line connection is not easily acces-
sible when the grill is installed, support the grill above counter
level and attach the gas line to the grill. When the gas connec-
tion is made and has been checked for leaks, slide the grill into
the cutout. If the gas line connection is accessible when the
grill is installed, slide the grill into the cutout and then attach
the gas line.
Be very careful not to kink the gas line when lowering the grill
into the cutout.
Keep your ngers away from where the grill will be supported
on counter. Your ngers could become trapped and serious
injury could occur.
Check to make sure the grill is level and is supported around
the entire outside edge. If the grill is not level or is unstable,
use non-combustible shims under the outside lip to stabilize it.
You will need a second person to help you avoid damaging the
grill or your barbecue island.
You may want to use cardboard strips under the outside edges
of the grill to protect the nish of the island.
The deck ledges and counter should be at and level. (refer
to ANSI Z21.58 Standard for Outdoor Cooking Gas Appli-
ances, Section 1.7 Enclosures For Self Contained LP-Gas Supply
Systems)
This grill requires that a 120 volt, 60 hertz, 15 amp GFI certi-
ed outlet be installed by a qualied electrician.

LP Gas Requirements
NOTE !
• For you to truly enjoy the experience of cooking on your
AMG high performance grill, we recommend connecting
it to a bulk fuel supply if possible. A standard 20-pound
liquid propane cylinder cannot supply enough gas for
extended cooking with gas. If you choose to run your
AMG system off propane cylinders, we recommend
keeping a spare, full cylinder available.
WARNING!
• All propane gas connections must be performed by a
licensed contractor or the local gas company
• The gas line must be appropriately sized and installed to
supply the maximum demand of the grill without loss of
pressure.
• The sealant used on threaded connections must be
resistant to the action of propane gas.
• A gas shut-off valve must be installed by a qualied
plumber in an easily accessible location.
• IMPORTANT: Never connect the grill to an unregulated
gas supply.
• The installation of this appliance must conform with
local codes or in the absence of local codes, to the na-
tional fuel gas code, ANSI Z223.1a-1998. Installation in
Canada must be in accordance with the standard CAN/
CGA-B149.2, Propane Installation Code.
• The grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 0.5 psi (3.5
kPa).
• The grill and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressure in excess

6. Grill Hood: Your AMG hood is a double-wall design with
internal, spring assist system. Always open the grill hood
before lighting the grill. Keep the hood open when start-
ing a charcoal or wood re and when the hood thermom-
eter temperature reads greater than 600°F.
7. Full Length Handle: The heavy-duty, full length handle
enables you to open the hood from either side to avoid
the blast of heat that releases from a grill when the hood
is opened.
8. Warming Rack: The removable warming rack can be used
for warming food or for cooking food more slowly than
on the primary cooking grates. The warming rack ips up
out of the way for convenience while using the optional
rotisserie system.
9. Drip Tray: The removable AMG drip tray features easy,
roller bearing operation with close, drain, and fully open
positioning. AMG features a unique drain plug which
allows you to drain oils and liquids from the tray before
removing it for thorough cleaning.
10. Cooking Grates: The standard grill grates are a custom
cast stainless design that maximizes rapid cooking heat
absorption while minimizing infrared heat exposure to the
chef. The grates are reversible for a variety of cooking op-
tions. Generally, the convex side (peak) of the grate is for
cooking meat while the concave (valley) side of the grate
is used for sh and vegetables.
10 11 12 13
image 3.
11. Charcoal Trays: The AMG charcoal tray is a unique,
patent-pending design crucial for gas as well as solid fuel
cooking. They are laser crafted using heavy, 12-gauge,
#430 stainless steel. When cooking with gas and the
trays are empty, they absorb and radiate intense heat at a
steady temperature. When using solid fuel, NEVER FILL
THE TRAYS BEYOND THE MAXIMUM LEVEL INDICATED
ON THE TRAYS. THE GRILL WILL OVERHEAT WHICH MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE NOT COVERED IN YOUR WARRANTY.
12. Burner Covers: The AMG burner cover is another innova-
tive, patent-pending, component built of 14-gauge, #430
stainless steel. While protecting the burners from falling
grease and debris, they also prevent burner ports from
becoming clogged. The burner covers also manage the
ame with a steady burn and minimum impingement for
exceptionally clean, efcient combustion.
13. Main Burners: Your AMG grill uses heavy, 1 inch diame-
ter, 14 gauge, #304 stainless burners with a lower adjust-
able venturi for long life and solid performance. Each
burner is 20,000 BTUs for plenty of gas cooking power.
The burners are also used for quick and easy lighting of
solid fuels in the charcoal trays. Optional plug-and-play
sear burners are also available which can be interchanged
with any of the standard tube burners.
14. Power Cord (not shown): The power cord connects the
control panel lighting and cooking lights. Use a customer-
supplied single-outlet outdoor-rated extension cord to
connect this short cord provided to an outdoor-rated GFI
outlet.
15. Lifting Tool: Cooking with solid fuels is more interactive
than simple gas grilling. With the grill in operation, you
may want to access or move some components of the grill
that will be hot and dangerous. For this reason, AMG has
created a custom, multi-purpose tool that allows you to
lift and secure the cooking grates in an open position, and
also to move and remove the charcoal trays.
16. Hi-temp Cooking Gloves: AMG recommends you always
wear your protective gloves while using the grill or any
time you come into contact with the grill while it is hot.
Never use the lifting tool without your protective grilling
gloves.

INSTALLATION
Important Installation Warnings
• Please read all instructions before installing or operating
your gas grill to prevent injury and appliance damage.
• Never test the grill for gas leaks using a lighted match
or any other open ame; see “Leak Testing” procedures
using soap/water solutions included in following pages
of this manual.
• The use of accessories, regulators, or components
not recommended by the appliance manufacturer
may cause injuries and will void warranty.
• Be sure that the gas supplied to the grill conforms
to the model you purchased. A Natural Gas grill re-
quires natural gas to operate; an LP grill requires liquid
propane gas to operate. Check the rating label on the
left hand side of the unit to be certain of the gas type
intended for this grill.
• Your AMG grill is equipped with a convertible gas regu-
lator that is set at our factory for the type of gas indicat-
ed on the rating plate. Never connect the appliance to
an unregulated gas supply line. Grills operated without
a regulator are unsafe and will not be serviced until
installed properly and safely. Unsafe operation without
a gas regulator will void warranty of the grill.
• Grills operated with NG (natural gas) must be installed
with the regulator supplied with the unit and set to 4.0”
water column pressure.
• Grills operated with LP (liquid propane) gas must be
installed with the regulator supplied with the unit and
set to 11” water column pressure.
• The gas valves used in the grills are preset at the factory
for Natural Gas or Liquid Propane operation. Please
contact your dealer and use a licensed contractor or
installer to convert your grill to a different gas type.
• Never locate the grill under combustible construction.
WARNING !
Use your Head not your Back.
The shipping weight of your American Muscle Grill is at least
250 pounds. Larger units may weigh over 400 pounds. Use
two or more people to move or install this unit. Failure to
follow this instruction can result in back or other personal
injuries.
Unpacking the Carton
1. Cut the strapping that secures the grill to the pallet.
2. Remove the staples on the lower sides of the carton.
Note: It is not necessary to remove the staples at the top
of the carton.
3. Slide the carton over the top of the grill and set aside.
4. Remove all LOOSE interior packaging and paperwork from
the grill and set safely aside. Be careful to keep all impor-
tant documentation for future reference.
5. Open the hood and remove all accessories and packaging
from inside the grill.
6. Carefully remove all the screws securing the grill to the
pallet and remove the wood bracing.
7. Carefully cut the strapping that secures the grates in posi-
tion.

10
• AMG uses sturdy tie-down cables and straps to
ensure your grill arrives at your home in showroom
condition. BE SURE YOU HAVE REMOVED ALL TIE
DOWNS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LIFT THE GRILL.
8. With at least 1 buddy, lift the grill from the pallet and
place in it’s nal location.
Connecting the Gas
WARNING!
• A manual, gas shut-off valve must be installed in the gas
supply line ahead of the gas regulator. Be sure the valve
is installed in an easily accessable location.
• Never connect a gas line directly to the grill. A pressure
regulator must be installed on all gas equipment. All lo-
cal codes require it and AMG supplies the correct regu-
lator with your grill. Removing or failing to install the
pressure regulator can result in re and serious personal
injury and will void the warranty.
• The grill is factory set to use either propane (LP) or nat-
ural gas (NG). It is critical that the gas you use matches
that which the grill was set up for. You can verify that
by checking the rating plate located on the left hand
side of the grill. Converting to a different gas requires
a gas conversion kit available from AMG or from your
dealer and must be installed by a qualied technician.
• Installation must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and
Handling Code, B149.2, in Canada.
• Do not operate the grill on any gas other than that for
which the grill has been set.
1. Verify that the fuel type that the grill has been congured
for matches the fuel supply.
2. Ensure that the gas supply meets with the following mini-
mum and maximum pressure requirements.

2. Turn all grill control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Connect a suitable Propane (LP) gas hose from the pro-
pane tank to the regulator at the rear of the grill.
Electrical Connection
Your AMG grill uses AC power for the control panel lighting,
cooking lights and optional rotisserie motor operation.
NOTE !
• The grill must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes, or, in the absence of local codes, with
the National Electical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Cana-
dian Electical Code, CSA C22.1.
Leak Testing
All AMG gas grills are assembled and tested for leaks at our
factory in Irvine, California prior to shipment. However a
complete leak test must be performed after installation due to
possible mishandling during shipping or installation. Periodic
leak tests are recommended for safety.
NOTE !
• All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks
after installation or service. All leaks must be corrected
immediately.
• Homeowners should only check for gas leaks in the ex-
ternal gas piping system from the gas supply to the gas
regulator. Leak testing of the gas valves or interior gas
connections must be tested by a qualied technician.
DANGER !
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your
grill outdoors in a well ventilated area. Never smoke or permit
sources of ignition in the area while performing a leak test.
1. Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing
in a spray bottle one part liquid soap to one part water.
2. Open the valve (shut-off or LP tank).
3. Apply liquid soapy solution to all joints and connections
using a spray bottle or brush.
4. Observe all joints for the presence of bubbles. Bubbles
forming indicate a gas leak.
5. If there are no bubbles (leaks) in the gas delivery system,
close the gas supply valve. Your grill is ready to use.
If you observe bubbles forming at any gas connection:
6. Retighten the connection(s) where bubbles are forming.
7. Repeat steps 3-5 above.
If you cannot repair the leak:
8. Make sure all control knobs are in the full OFF position.
