Precautions for Installation and Storage
I) DO NOT store or use gasoline
or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance.
2) 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
use dented, rusty or damaged
propane cylinders.
3) Children should not be left
alone or unattended in an area
where a grill is located. Placeyour
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 in
the masonry enclosure. When in
use, portions of the grill are hot
enough to cause severe burns.
4) Never move the grill when hot.
S) Always adhere to the required
clearances from combustibles as
detailed. The grill is designed for
outdoor use only. Never use in a
garage, building, shed, breeze-
way or other enclosed area.
6) Gas grills are not design cer-
tified for and are not to be
installed in or on recreational
vehicles, portable trailers, boats
or any other moving installation.
7) Have an ABC Fire Extinguisher
accessible -- never attempt to
extinguish a grease fire with
water or other liquids.
8) Store your grill in a well-ven-
tilated area. Remove the LP cyl-
inder, if so equipped, and store
it outdoors in a well-ventilated
area away from heat and away
from where children may tam-
per with it.
9) Keep any electrical supply
cord and the fuel supply hose
away from any heated surfaces.
Electrical cords should be placed
away from walkways to avoid
tripping hazard.
10) Do not repair or replace
any part of the grill unless spe-
cifically recommended in this
manual. Other service should be
performed by a qualified tech.
11) If the grill is installed by a
professional installer or techni-
cian, be sure that he shows you
where your gas supply shut-off is
located. All gas lines must have
a shut-off that is readily and eas-
ily 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.
SPECIAL NOTE ON USING YOUR GRILL IN WINDY CONDITIONS
As a high-performance gas ap-
pliance, your Lynx grill requires
significant amounts of air to sup-
port the combustion process.
Your grill has been engineered
to take air in through the control
panel area, and exhaust the com-
bustion byproducts out through
the gap between the front and
rear hoods (see figure 2 at right).
Using your grill in windy condi-
tions can disrupt the proper flow
of air through your grill, lead-
ing to reduced performance, or
in certain severe cases, causing
heat buildup in the control panel
area. This can lead to problems
such as having the control knobs
melt, or burn hazards when the
control panel surfaces become
too hot to touch.
During high wind conditions, it
is best if you don't use your grill.
If you live in an area that is sub-
ject to frequent high winds, or a
steady directional wind, then the
installation of a suitable wind-
break may be advised.
If you have a freestanding grill,
it is best to position the unit so
the prevailing wind blows into
the front control panel, thus
supporting the proper airflow.
Winds hitting the back of the
grill directly are the most likely to
cause problems, although wind
blowing along the hood gap can
also be problematic.
Please note that damage to your
grill resulting from use in windy
conditions, such asmelted knobs
or igniter wires, or control panel
discoloration from heat build-
up, are excluded from warranty
coverage.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR LP USE
Never connect any unregulated
gas supply to the grill The hose
with regulator and Type 1 con
nection included with your grill
has these safety features:
•The system will not allow gas to
flow until a positive connection
has been made
•The system has a thermal ele
ment that will shutoff the flow
of gas between 115 and 150°C
(240 and 300°F)
• The system has a flow limiting
device which, when activated,
will restrict the flow of gas to 10
cubic feet per hour
NOTE: The cylinder control valve
must be turned off before any
connection ismade or removed.
NEVER USE GRILL WITHOUT
FIRST LEAK TESTING THIS
CONNECTION, FOLLOWING
THE PROCEDURE ON PAGE 11.
Should the large, black, ther
mally sensitive coupling nut be
exposed to temperatures above
115 150°C, it will soften, allow
ing the regulator probe to dis
engage from the cylinder valve,
thereby shutting off the flow of
gas Should this occur, do not
attempt to reconnect the nut
Remove the entire regulator as
sembly and replace it with a new
one The cause of the excessive
heat should be determined and
corrected before operating your
grill again The regulator probe
also contains a flowsensing el
ement, which will limit the flow
of gas to the regulator to a man
ageable amount in the event of
a hose or regulator rupture If it
is evident that the flow control
device has activated, the cause
of the excess flow should be de
termined and corrected before
using your grill again
NOTE: Improper lighting proce-
dures can cause the flow control
to activate, resulting in reduced
heat output. If this is suspected,
to reset flow control, shut off
all burner controls and cylinder
valve, wait 30 seconds, then
turn cylinder valve on extremely
slowly, wait five (5) seconds and
turn burner valve on to light

Figure 3-1 -Theincluded hose
and regulator must be used if
your grill isset-up for LP Gas.
Wind hitting the grill
while in use, especially
winds blowing into
or across this hood
gapl CaB cause poor
performanceand in
some casescancause
the control panel to
get dangerously hot.
Figu re :3-2 - Steady or gusty winds can prevent the normal exhaust of hot gases. Locate your grill
away from prevailing winds and avoid grilling in windy conditions. If needed, install a windbreak.
