1 - SAFETY
This grill must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances, or, in the absence of
local codes, with either the latest National Fuel Gas Code (ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54), and Natural
Gas and Propane Storage and Handling Installation Code (CSA-B149.1).
This appliance and its individual shutoff valves must be disconnected from the gas-supply piping
system when testing the system at pressures in excess of 1⁄2 psig. This appliance must be
isolated from the gas-supply piping system by closing its dedicated manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas-supply system at pressures up to and including 1⁄2 psig.
This grill is designed for outdoor use only. DO NOT use this grill under unprotected flammable
surfaces. DO NOT use this grill inside a building, garage, enclosed area, or an unprotected
covered area (see paragraph below). DO NOT use this grill in or on a recreational vehicle or
boat. Important: When installing this grill in a COMBUSTIBLE surround, an insulating liner must
be used.
If installed or used under a patio roof, the cooking grid area must be covered by an exhaust
hood (with a vent) larger than the cooking surface. Refer to exhaust fan manufacturer
specifications. An exhaust fan with a rating of 1,000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) (472 liters per
