Built-In Instructions

Planning and Design
Start by identifying the number and size of components you want to include: Grill, side burner, access
doors for storage or other items you may wish to furnish such as: refrigerator, sink, warming drawer.
Countertops must be constructed with non-combustible, outdoor-safe materials. Consider outdoor
lighting to illuminate after-dark Grilling. For assistance in designing and building your outdoor cook-
ing center, contact a landscape architect or general contractor. Review the drawings on the following
pages to determine the exact dimensions and items needed for a built-in Grill. Keep in mind that the
gas line hook-up is on the right hand side for the main Grill head. The structure, Grill and support
items must be kept level throughout the installation to ensure proper operation.
Location
Take into account convenience and visual impact as well as traffic flow, wind exposure, and the site’s
structural suitability. The Grill should never be placed in an enclosed area without an approved
ventilation system, or beneath a combustible overhang. Because the Grill exhausts to the rear, it
should never be located in front of a window or less than 12” from hard-to-clean surfaces. We recom-
mend keeping your gas supply lines as short as possible for best performance. To ensure a perfect fit,
we strongly recommend that you have all components on hand prior to final construction.
Clearance to Non-Combustible Construction
For your safety a minimum of 3” clearance from the back of the Grill to non-combustible construction
is required. You should allow at least 6” side clearance to non-combustible construction. The
Electrolux Grill can be placed directly adjacent to non-combustible construction below the cooking
surface.
Outboard Ignitor Plate Installation
The electronic ignitors require a standard size electrical box, (available at a local hardware store), with
a minimum depth of 2.5” to be mounted in the structure. It should be placed on the left front or left
side of the built-in island, with the center of the ignitor button no more than 3”-5” from the Grill. The
ignitor plate fits over the standard electrical box once mounted in the structure. (See drawing on fol-
lowing page). The ground wire for the ignitor needs to be grounded to a metal structure in order for
the ignitor to work. Repeat the above steps for the right side ignitor.
Utilities
For natural gas Grills, consult your local gas utility company for hook-up requirements. All gas
connections should be made by a plumber or a gas supply company. For natural gas installation, the
supply line must be at least 1/2” diameter. The rotisserie requires a 110/120 volt electric supply and
GFI receptacle. (6.5 amp min.) If your plan includes a sink, arrange for your plumber to run a water
line to the site.
The Electrolux Grill can be installed as a built-in Grill. If installed as a built-in
Grill, the Grill surround must be constructed of Non-combustible material.

General Information
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either Natural Gas (NG) or Liquid Propane (L.P)., and make
sure the marking plate (located on the back of the unit) agrees with that of the supply.
Note: Never attach an unregulated gas line to the appliance.
For Natural Gas installations, an installer must supply a gas shutoff valve that is easily accessible to
the grill. All installer supplied parts must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990, and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1-1998.
All pipe sealants must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of L.P. gases. Never use pipe
sealant on flare fittings. All gas connections should be made by a competent technician and in accor-
dance with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1998. Gas conversions kits are available from the fac-
tory. When ordering gas conversion kits have the model number, and the type of gas (natural or L.P.)
from your grill.
This appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping sys-
tem during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.).
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.).
The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes ,
with National Fuel Code, ANSI Z223.1a-1998.
Installation in Canada must be in accordance with the Standard Can1-b149.1 and or .2 (installation
code for gas burning appliances and equipment) and local codes.
Natural Gas Installation
The gas inlet supply pressure should be between 5” and 14” w.c. A step down regulator is required if
the line pressure is in excess of 14” w.c.
Check your local gas utility company or with local codes for instructions on installing gas supply
lines. Be sure to check on type and size of run, and how deep to bury the line. If the gas supply line
is too small, the grill will not operate correctly.
Any joint sealant used must be an approved type and be resistant to the actions of L.P. gases.
Place the installer supplied shut-off valve in an accessible location to enable the gas supply to be cut
off to the unit.
