Close the hood and slide clevis pins from hood hinges (b). Lift the hood from the
burner box and place it on a nonabrasive surface.
5. Using the hex head screws and split lockwashers from the hardware bag, attach
the two hood knobs to the outside of the grill hood in the locations shown.
Tighten screws from inside rather than turning the knob, to avoid scratching

7. Attach the burner box to the base cabinet using the four (4) 1/4x20x1" pointed
screws and the four (4) 1/4" teflon washers from the base cabinet kit (a). The
screws with the washers directly underneath go through the four holes in the
bottom of the burner box and engage in the caged nuts in the top of the base
cabinet (b). Engage all four screws before tightening any of the four (c). In order
to get the screws in the mounting holes of some grill models, it may be necessary
to carefully rotate the burners out of the way of the holes. Unscrew the burner
locking screw to release the burner.
____________________________________________________________________
 CAUTION: The screws used to attach the grill burner box to the base
cabinet must be tightened securely but not overly tight. The Teflon washers
used with these screws are very slippery and could lead to over-tightening
these screws. Care should be taken to avoid compressing the washer or
cracking the burner box.
