GRILL PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION
Clearance to non-combustible construction*:
A minimum of 12” clearance from the back of the grill(as mounted to the factory wood cart) to non-combustible con-
struction is required to allow for movement around the entire perimeter of the grill. It is desirable to allow at least 18-24”
rear and side clearance to non-combustible construction on all 4 sides of the grill for ease of movement around the grill.
Important! Gas ings, regulator, and installer supplied shut-o valves must be easily accessible.
LOCATION
»When selecting a suitable location, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to trac paths, and
keeping gas supply lines as short as possible.
»When determining a suitable location take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to trac paths and
keeping any gas or electrical supply lines as short as possible and away from heat sources. Locate the grill only in a well
ventilated area. Do not locate the grill under overhead unprotected combustible construction. Never locate the grill in a
building, garage, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of heat and
smoke. Ensure there is adequate area for it to dissipate.
»If locating the grill in a windy area, try to locate the grill so the prevailing wind will blow air at the front of the grill. is
will assist the grill in venting hot air thru the back of the grill. In addition, this will help keep any smoke from blowing at
someone who is cooking on the grill. If you have to locate the grill in a windy area where the prevailing wind is at the rear
of the grill, a windbreak must be installed. e windbreak should be made such that it will block wind from entering the
exhaust vent in the rear of the unit.
»As high-performance gas appliance, your grill requires signicant amounts of air to support the combustion process. Your
grill is designed to take air in through the valve panel area, and send the exhaust products out through the exhaust gap at
the rear of the hood. Using your grill in windy conditions can disrupt the proper ow of air though your grill, leading to
reduced performance, or in certain severe cases, causing heat buildup in the valve panel area. is can lead to problems
such as having the knobs melt, or burn hazards when the valve panel surfaces become too hot to touch.
»During high wind conditions, it is best if you don’t use your grill. If you live in an area that is subject to frequent high
winds, or a steady directional wind, then the installation of a suitable windbreak may be advised. If you have a grilling cart,
it is best to position the unit so the prevailing wind blows into the valve panel, thus supporting the proper airow. Winds
hiing the back of the grill directly are the most likely to cause problems, although wind blowing along the exhaust gap in
the rear can also be problematic.
Please note that damage to your grill resulting from use in windy conditions, such as melted knobs or igniter wires, or valve panel
discoloration from heat build-up, are excluded from warranty coverage.
GRILL PLACEMENT
Wind hiing the grill while
in use, especially winds
blowing into or across this
hood rear gap may cause
poor burner performance,
and in some cases may
cause the control panel area
to get excessively hot.
NOTE: If wind against the rear of the unit is an issue, a wind screen should be added behind
the grill to block rear wind. e non-combustible wind screen should be built taller than the
top of the ue opening at the back of the grill and have a clearance of a minimum of 3” from
the rear of the grill as shown above.
Handle/Lid Open Clearance
3” minimum to wall or backsplash
10 square inches minimum
ventilation required for each
side of the enclosure.
