For proper installation, be sure to use the correct cutout
dimensions as specified for your model number. Locate your
model on the following pages for dimensions, and reference the
cut-out diagram of your unit for proper orientation.
Important: Doors and drawers are supplied with 8 screws for
installation. If installing into a concrete island, pilot
holes are required.
Important: When installing in an AFD GFRC Island, use the
bracket and screws provided with the island.
DOOR
Slide in and fasten the unit securely into the island enclosure using
the supplied hardware through the installation screw slots in the top
and bottom of the unit.
For doors with propane tank trays:
To use, simply open the door, pull out the sliding cylinder tray, place
your cylinder on the tray and push the tray back in. The cylinder is
now ready for connection to your grill.
Important: Refer to any additional instructions included with
your door for the required installation method of
propane tank cylinders.
DRAWER
Before installing your drawer, remove the drawer from its base by
completely pulling it out. Release the drawer from the drawer slides
by pressing the black lever down on the right side, and up on the left
side (Fig 2-3). Then pull outward on the drawer until it comes free of
the runners.
1. In order to properly support the weight of your drawer, it is necessary
to provide a secure, level surface in the rear of the unit (see
Fig
2-4
). This may be accomplished by using bricks, 2 X 4’s, etc. Be
sure that the height of this rear support is 1/8" higher than that of
the front opening support, so that your drawer sits level.
2. Slide in and fasten the unit securely into the island enclosure
using the supplied hardware through the installation screw slots
in the top and bottom of the unit.
3. To re-attach the drawer; extend the drawer slides completely and
align the drawer into the slides, pushing the drawer closed. Open
the drawer to verify that it has locked in place.

CARE & CLEANING
CARE & CLEANING
By following these recommendations, you will enjoy the beauty
and convenience of your unit for many years to come.
STAINLESS STEEL
As needed, use a grill cleaner (or a soapy water solution) and
a clean cloth to remove grease and dirt from the outside of the
unit. For tough deposits, a copper pad can be used. Always
wipe with the grain. Rinse and dry completely. Then follow up
with a stainless steel cleaner and a clean cloth.
If this routine cleaning is not performed, the stainless steel
may become dull and develop surface rust (due to use and
atmospheric conditions). If left uncleaned, significant damage
and pitting may occur.
Important: DO NOT use steel wool, any other metal tools,
or any other cleaners/chemicals to clean the
exterior other than recommended above. Such
items promote rust.
When this unit is installed in a corrosive environment such
as near the ocean (salt air), poolside (chlorine and/or pool
chemicals) or any other location with exposure to high salt/
chloride content or corrosive chemicals/solutions,it will be
more susceptible to corrosion and MUST be maintained/
cleaned more frequently.
• DO NOT store any corrosive chemicals (chlorine,
hydrochloric acid, fertilizer, etc.) near your stainless steel
unit.
• DO NOT allow any corrosive materials (masonry dust,
debris, etc.) to settle on your stainless steel unit.
• These environments, chemicals, and materials may
cause the 304 stainless steel to develop surface rust and
consequently pitting. Under these conditions the unit MUST
be cleaned at least monthly. Inspect your unit often and
clean accordingly.

The use of pliers or a wrench should not be necessary. Only
cylinders marked “propane” may be used.
To disconnect: Turn the hand nut counterclockwise until
detached (Fig. 5-1).
Important: Before using the unit, and after each time
the cylinder is removed and reattached,
check the hose for wear (see a.) and check
all connections for leaks. Turn off the unit
valves and open the main cylinder valve,
then check connections with soapy water.
Repair any leaks before lighting the unit.
CAUTION: Always turn the propane cylinder main valve
off after each use, and before moving the unit
and cylinder or disconnecting the coupling.
This valve must remain closed and the
cylinder disconnected while the appliance
is not in use, even though the gas flow is
stopped by a safety feature when the coupler
is disconnected.
Carefully inspect the hose assembly each time before the
gas is turned on. A cracked or frayed hose must be replaced
immediately.
If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must be
disconnected and removed. Disconnected cylinders must be
stored outdoors, out of the reach of children, with threaded
valve plugs tightly installed, and must not be stored in a
building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
a. DO NOT store a spare propane-gas cylinder under or
near this appliance.
b. NEVER fill the cylinder beyond 80-percent full.
c. IF THE INFORMATION IN a. AND b. IS NOT FOLLOWED
EXACTLY, A FIRE CAUSING DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY MAY OCCUR.
IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SAFETY
READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS PROVIDED WITH THE PROPANE-GAS CYLINDER.
When operating this appliance with a propane-gas cylinder, these instructions and warnings MUST be observed.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
CYLINDER/CONNECTOR REQUIREMENTS
a. Propane-gas cylinders, valves, and hoses must be
maintained in good condition and must be replaced if
there is visible damage to either the cylinder or valve. If the
hose is cut or shows excessive abrasion or wear, it must
be replaced before using the gas appliance (see e.).
b. This unit, when used with a cylinder, should be connected
to a standard 5-gallon (20 lb.) propane-gas cylinder
equipped with an OPD (Overfill Prevention Device).
The OPD has been required on all cylinders sold since
October 1,1998, to prevent overfilling.
c. Cylinder dimensions should be approximately 12" (30.5
cm) in diameter and 18" (45.7 cm) high. Cylinders must
be constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specifications for Propane Gas Cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders,
Spheres, and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous
Goods.
d. The cylinder used must include a collar to protect the
cylinder valve, and the cylinder supply system must be
arranged for vapor withdrawal.
e. The pressure regulator and hose assembly (Fig. 5-1)
supplied with this outdoor gas appliance (L.P. models
only) must be used. Original and replacement pressure
regulator and hose assemblies must be those specified by
the manufacturer for connection with a cylinder connecting
device identified as Type I by the ANSI Z 21.58/CGA 1.6
(see PARTS LIST for ordering information).
f. The propane-gas cylinder valve must be equipped with a
cylinder connection coupling device, described as Type I
in the standard defined in paragraph e. above.This device
is commonly described as an Acme thread quick coupler.
g. If the propane-gas cylinder comes with a dust plug, place
the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use.
QUICK COUPLER OPERATION
To connect the regulator/hose assembly to the propane-
gas cylinder valve fitting: Press the hand nut on the regulator
over the Acme thread fitting on the cylinder valve.Turn the hand
nut clockwise to engage the threads and tighten until snug.
