nstruc ions
• •
lhlilt-In I t
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-eorubustible, outdoor-safe materials. Consider outdoor lighting to
illuminate after-dark Grilling. For assistance in designing and building your outdoor cooking 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 recommend 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 Frigidaire 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 following 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 fight 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 rain.)
If your plan includes a sink, arrange for your plumber to run a water line to the site.

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.R gases.
Place the installer supplied shut-off valve in an accessible location to enable the gas supply to be cut off to the
unit.

L.P. Gas Installation
Frigidaire Gas Grills that are set to operate with L.R gas come with a high capacity hose and regulator
assembly. (Note: Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill or a
replacement pressure regulator and hose assemblies specified by Frigidaire). This assembly is designed
to connect directly to a standard 20 lb. L.P. cylinder.
Attach the gas hose assembly to the brass 3/8 flared fitting using an adjustable wrench on the under side of the
grill. Tighten securely and attach other end to the propane tank. (sold separately) (See Fig. 13)

General Information
Although all gas connections on the grill are leaked tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas
tightness check must be pertbrlned at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or exces-
sive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or imme-
diately check if the smell of gas is detected.
Before Testing
Do Not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame.
Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.

Turn off the burner control knobs.
Turn the top knob of the fuel supply cylinder counterclockwise (right to left) one rotation to
open.
Apply the soap solution to connections of the fuel supply assembly. If no soap bubbles
appear, the grill is ok to use. If bubbles tbrm at the connections, a leak is detected.
(If a leak is detected, immediately turn off the gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on,
and recheck).
Turn off the knob on the fuel supply cylinder.
Turn on the burner control knobs tbr a moment to release the pressure in the hose, then turn
the control knobs back off.
Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.
Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to the regula-
tor. Leak test any time a part of the gas system is replaced. Perform a leak test at least once a year whether or
not the L.R gas supply cylinder has been disconnected.

The grill rotisserie system is designed to cook items fi'om the back using infrared heat. The rotisserie burner
is an infi'ared type which provides intense searing radiant heat. Preferred by chefs over other cooking methods,
this intense heat is magnificent for searing in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meats.
Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperatures in 1 minute. The orange/red glow will even out
in about 5 minutes. The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal gears and is capable of turning up to 20 lbs.
of food. The motor is mounted on a bracket on the left side of the grill by sliding the motor over the bracket
with the cord facing the back of the grill. Make sure the motor is straight prior to operating.
Attaching the Rotisserie
The motor is mounted on a bracket on the left side of
the grill by sliding the motor over the bracket with
the cord f:acing the back of the grill.
With the rotisserie motor in place and plugged into an
electrical outlet it is now ready to operate. After
installing rotis rod handle, slide one of the meat forks
onto the rod. (prongs facing away t_om the handle)
Push the rod through the center of the fbod, then slide
the second meat fork onto the rod. (prongs toward the
tbod). Center the food to be cooked on the rod, then
push the meat forks firmly together. Tighten the wing
nuts. It may also be necessary to wrap food with
butcher's string, (never use nylon or plastic string) to
secure loose portions.
Once the food is secure, insert the pointed end of the
rotis rod into the motor assembly and rest the other
end on the support on the right-hand side of the Grill.
(If needed remove the cooking grates tbr more
room.). Turn the power switch to the "On" position
to start the rotisserie motor.
Note: Remove the rotisserie when not in use.

aintenance
Drip Tray
The drip tray located below the grill, inside the cart, should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy buildup
of debris.
Note: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean.
Cooking Grates
The cooking grates can be cleaned immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the flame.
Wear a barbecue mitt and scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the grill is allowed to cool down,
cleaning the grates will be easier if removed from the grill and cleaned with a mild detergent.
Stainless Steel
The grill is made from a non-rusting stainless steel. After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from
the intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal.
Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of the grain of the metal. Specks of grease can
gather on the surface of the stainless steel and bake on to the surI:ace and give a worn appearance. For
removal use an non-abrasive oven cleaner in conjunction with a stainless cleaner.
Note: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.
Rear Infrared Burner:
Please light and burn the rear infi'ared burner at least once a month to ensure there is not a build-up of debris
or grease on the burner. This will ensure the ceramic burner will continue to operate as it should.
16
