Beware of Spiders
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burners during
warehousing, transit, and/or after long period of not using the grill. These webs can lead to a
gas flow obstruction, which could result in a fire in and around the burner tubes. This type of
fire is known as “flashback” and can cause serious damage to your grill and create an unsafe
operating condition for the grill user. Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause
of “flashback,” it is the most common cause. Frequent inspection of the burners is necessary.

WARNING: Use two more people to move and install the gas grill. Failure to do so can
result in back or other injury. Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any
shipping tape and glue from your gas grill before using. Do not use sharp instruments,
rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your gas grill.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove any safety, warning, or product information labels from
your gas grill.
Maintaining Adequate Ventilation
When building a gas grill into outdoor cabinetry or an island, it is important to maintain proper
ventilation. Ventilation is required to prevent the build-up of gas, which could ultimately lead to
improper performance of the gas grill; damage to the grill; fire, explosion, or injury to the user.
Always make sure that there is proper ventilation and that all flammable materials are placed
at least 24 inches away from the grill on all side.
Be sure to clean the grill vents of all dirt, debris, insects, and spider webs.
Additionally, the grill functions best when protected from outdoor elements. The grill should be
placed in a location that does not get direct rainfall. Wind can greatly affect the performance of
any gas grill. Be advised that it can affect the ability of the grill to maintain a flame. When
substantial wind enters the rear exhaust of the grill, it can create a gas build-up, which poses a
fire risk.
Unpacking the Gas Grill
Check the rating label on your grill to ensure that the fuel source is appropriate for your application
before trying to connect any gas lines.
13
Tip: Gather the model and serial number from the product label and write them down
before installing the gas grill(s).
WARNING: Inspect all gas tanks, gas supply hoses, and regulators each time you
connect or disconnect the fuel source. Always turn off the gas supply when the gas
grill is not in use.
Installing the Gas Grill
Notes About Installation
The gas grill should be installed in accordance with all local code requirements in
addition to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54.
Installation by a professional is highly recommended for proper placement and
functionality.
oIn the state of Massachusetts, installation and repairs MUST be performed by a
qualified or licensed contractor, plumber, or gas fitter qualified or licensed by the
State of Massachusetts.
This gas grill is not intended to be installed in or on boats or recreational vehicles (RVs).
Make sure that there are no kinks and no twisting in gas supply hoses.
Installation Location
Ensure the gas grill is positioned safely away from anything that can catch fire. Under
no circumstances should this gas grill be installed indoors or in a garage. Additionally, it
should not be located under a carport, in a work shop, etc.
The gas grill should also be placed in a location that is strong enough to support its total
weight. A firm level surface is required.
Do not install the gas grill within 24 inches of wood stockpiles, gyprock, paper, or plants.
Place the grill in an area where it can have a minimum of 24 inches clearance from
combustible materials, including gasoline, flammable liquids or flammable vapors.
Adequate ventilation must be maintained for the grill to function properly. This will
ensure gas does not build up.
Keep the grill protected from inclement weather conditions, including direct rain and
high winds.
Once the gas grill is installed, you must still be able to access the gas supply line,
regulator, gas cylinder, and shut off valves.
Types of Installation
This manual covers an EdgeStar gas grill series that includes models using either a Liquid
Propane (LP) or a Natural Gas (NG) fuel source. Select your appropriate fuel type and follow
the relevant installation instructions, as follows.
In each case, there must be adequate ventilation and access for service.
14
Liquid Propane (LP) Installation and Requirements:
Grills operated with LP fuel must be installed with the supplied LP regulator.
EdgeStar LP grills are designed to be used with a standard 20 lb. Department of
Transportation (DOT) approved LP tank. No tanks larger than 20 lbs. are to be used.
The tank must be marked in accordance with the latest DOT specification for LP gas
tanks: Specifications for LP gas Cylinders (DOT CFR49).
LP tanks must come with a protective collar to guard the cylinder threads.
