The grill hood must be fully opened when lighting.
Always adhere to the required clearances from combustibles as detailed. The grill is designed for
outdoor use only. Never operate in a garage, building, shed, breeze way or other enclosed area.
Grease is extremely flammable. Let hot grease cool down before attempting to handle or dispose
of it. The drip tray should be cleaned of grease on regular basis.
Never grill without the drip pan in place. The drip pan must be pushed all the way to the back of
the grill. Without the drip pan in place, hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire
explosion hazard.
Store your grill in a well-ventilated area. Remove the LP cylinder, if so equipped, and store it outdoors
in a well-ventilated area away from heat and away from where children may tamper with it.
Cooking excessively fatty meats and other such products will cause flare-ups. Internal fires or
damage caused by flare-ups or the grill being left unattended while cooking, are not the
responsibility of AHT and any resulting damage is not covered under the terms and conditions of
our Warranty.
Never use charcoal in the grill. Never operate the grill in a windy area, if windy conditions exist, install
a suitable windbreak.
All service on this grill should be performed by a qualified technician.
Insure that the gas supply hose is free of kinks and at least 3” away from hot surfaces.
Whenever the grill burners have been removed, follow the installation instructions.
Avoid wearing long sleeves or loose-fitting garments while using the grill. Never touch the grill racks,
hood or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands as these areas become
extremely hot during use and could cause burns. Use an insulated glove or mitt when opening and
operating the grill. Open grill lid slowly to allow heat and smoke to escape before fully opening.
Never lean over hot grill surface or look directly into the grill when attempting to light.
Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill racks. This will change combustion airflow or trap
excessive heat in the control area. This can result in melted knobs and melted igniters.
Never store additional or empty propane cylinders in the grill cabinet or around the grill. Do not
store propane cylinders indoors or on their sides.
NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
WHEN IN USE, PORTIONS OF THE GRILL ARE HOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
Have an ABC Fire Extinguisher accessible - never attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water
or other liquids.
Never use natural gas in a unit designed for liquid propane or visa versa.
Children should not be unattended or alone in an area where a grill is located. Place your grill
well away from areas where children play. Do not store items that may interest children in or
around the grill, in the cart or masonry enclosure. When in use, portions of the grill are hot enough
to cause severe burns.

If the grill is installed by a professional installer or technician, be sure that they show you where
your gas supply shut-off is located. All gas lines must have a shut-off that is readily and easily
accessible. If you smell gas, check for gas leaks immediately. Check only with a soap and water
solution.. NEVER CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
Keep any electrical supply cord away from any heated surface. Electrical cords should be placed
away from walkways to avoid tripping hazard.
Do not use this unit until a leak check has been performed.
Do not move grill while hot or in use.
Do not operate this unit under the influence of drugs, heavy medication, or alcohol.
Do not lean on shelves or place more than 25 pounds on a side shelf.
If any burner does not light or goes out during operation, turn off all gas control knobs with hood
open and wait (5) minutes before attempting to re-light.
HOW TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST:
A) Create a soapy solution of half water and half dishwashing detergent.
B) Make sure that all control knobs are in the off position.
C) Turn on fuel supply. Turn cylinder valve knob counter clockwise (right to left) one rotation.
D) Apply soap solution generously by paint brush or squirt bottle on all connections and fittings.
E) If you see any “growing” bubbles on any of the connection points, you have detected a
gas leak. IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas from the main gas source.
E) Check the hose for signs of cracks abrasion and leaks.
F) A leak may be stopped by tightening the loose joint, or by replacing the faulty part with a
replacement part recommended by the manufacturer.
E) Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it should become damaged,THE CYLINDER MUST
BE REPLACED.
DANGER: TO PREVENT EXPLOSION OR FIRE HAZARD:
DO NOT use or permit sources of ignition including smoking in the area while doing a leak test
Perform leak tests outdoors only. Never use flame or fire to do a leak test.
NOTE: NEVER USE GRILL WITHOUT LEAK TESTING.

LOCATING THE GRILL
LOCATION:
Select a suitable location for your grill by avoiding traffic paths and exposure to wind. Keep all
gas supply lines as short as possible. Do not locate the grill in a shed, the garage of a building,
storage, or other enclosed areas. To assure the unit is level front-to-back and side-to-side, use a
"spirit level". If the unit is not level the burner combustion may be erratic and the unit may not
function efficiently. If the floor is uneven or there is a slope, you may need to re-level the unit
after each moving of the unit.
FOR BUILT -IN INSTALLATIONS:
The Luxor Built-In model is designed for installation in a masonry or a non combustible enclosure.
The grill drops into the opening, and hangs from its counter top trim. There is no support required
from the bottom. Pay attention to the provisions for gas line hook-up. The enclosure must have
ventilation holes to prevent gas build-up in case of a leak. The counter top should be level and
flat. Electrical service should be provided for the units equipped with rotisserie.
- To a non-combustible construction a minimum of 5” clearance should be kept from back of
the grill. Do not locate the grill at a spot where It will be difficult to clean the exhaust and grease
from the grill.
- To a combustible construction you must keep a minimum of 16” clearance from back of the grill.
A 16” minimum clearance must also be maintained above and below the cooking surface and
in any combustible construction.
Do not build your LUXOR gas grill directly below unprotected overhead combustible construction.
CLEARANCE:
WARNING: Installing this product into a combustible enclosure could
result in fire, property damage and personal injury.

GAS CONNECTION
The LUXOR gas grill is equipped to use (LP) propane Or (NG) natural gas. Your grill is designated a
gas type and the rating plate must agree with that of the gas supply. Do not operate the grill
on any gas other than what the grill is regulated and orificed for.
Also a conversion kit is required to convert the grill from (LP) propane
to (NG) natural gas or (NG) natural gas to (LP) propane..
The regulator with hose Type 1or Q. C. connection has the following safety
features:
- The system has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas between
115 and 150 C ( 240 and 300 F).
- The system will not allow gas to flow until a positive connection has been made.
- The system has a flow limiting device which, when activated, will restrict the flow
of the gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.
- The CYLINDER CONTROL VALVE MUST BE TURNED OFF BEFORE ANY CONNECTION
IS MADE OR REMOVED.
NEVER CONNECT
AN UNREGULATED
GAS LINE TO THE GRILL
- The LP gas grill comes equipped with a (Type 1or QCC1 regulator) high capacity LP Regulator hose
assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder. .

GAS CONNECTION
L.P. Cylinder (tank) requirements:
The LP Tank / gas cylinder for your grill is not provided from by our factory. Therefore, make sure that
only D.O.T. approved 20 Lb., or CAN/CGA-B339 approved L.P. gas tanks are used with the grill. All
approved Cylinders must have an integral collar designed to provide protection around the
cylinder valve and prevent damage. Do not use a damaged gas cylinder. Do not attempt to
repair a damaged tank at anytime. A dented or rusty L.P. tank may be hazardous and should be
checked by your L.P. supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Always
check for leaks after every L.P. tank change.
Gas Connection (continued)
Additional tips for safety:
If the assembly needs to be replaced, use a unit specified by LUXOR Grills only. Then:
1. Remove the panel in the back of the BBQ to reach the regulator and gas connection area.
2. Route the female end of the hose through the cart
3. Fasten the hose connection to 1/2" x 3/8" flare fitting connected to the Grill Regulator
When connecting the L.P. gas tank, make sure the hose does not come in contact with the grill
or a hot surface. For the use with an L.P. tank / cylinder, the LUXOR grill is equipped with its own
regulator. DO NOT REMOVE THIS REGULATOR.
A proper regulator should always be used with any gas operation. Check with the local Gas
Codes for proper installation. You must use a regulator approved by A.H. T. for any application.
L.P. Gas Connection:
NEVER CONNECT THE GRILL TO AN UNREGULATED GAS SUPPLY
Manifold pressure: (operating) 10.5" W.C.
The L.P. gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for
the L.P. gas cylinder of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and designed for use with a
QCC or type 1 system. The gas cylinder must be provided with a shut off valve terminating in an L.P.
gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection type QCC1 in the standard
for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CGA-V-l.:
- Extra or spare gas tanks must be stored at least 15 feet fam the grill or any open flame, or
other types of heat producing device or source.
- Gas tanks are equipped with a pressure relief valve. In case a tank is exposed to excessive heat,
the relief valve lets the highly flammable gas vapor or liquid escape. That is why you should never
store the gast tank near heat or a flame.
- Store the gast tank in a well ventilated area
- Do not fill your gas cylinder beyond 3/4 full
