Clearance To Combustible Materials
WARNING: The structure and surrounding objects MUST maintain the specified minimum clearance to
combustible materials.
Built-in structures constructed of wood or other combustible materials may require the use of the OPTIONAL Built- In Heat Shield Kit to maintain
the required clearance to combustible materials. The grill may be supported by either the three support brackets, or the four leveling feet. Please
note that there must be at least 3/8” (1.0cm) clearance between the bottom of the grill and the structure.
Maintain the clearance to combustible materials as specified below.
A MAJOR CAUSE OF FIRES IS FAILURE TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCES
(AIR SPACES) TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE
THAT THIS PRODUCT BE INSTALLED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION STEP 1: UNPACKING
Grill requires (2) two people for safe assembly
Please note that during shipping some movement may have taken place, so a complete visual
inspection is required. Be sure to inspect entire grill after removing the protective shipping carton.
Report any damage to your local dealer immediately. Shipping damage is not covered under warranty.
Some surfaces may be sharp so wear gloves when assembling. Do not plug in the grill until it's fully
assembled, the plastic protective film is removed from all stainless steel surfaces, and you're ready to
cook. See: “startup procedure” for more details.
1) Unpack the controller box (16) and
bracket (17) from inside of the grill
hood. Also remove the Flavorizer
(2) and included grates (1) from
inside the grill hood. To remove the
Flavorizer, cut the 4 zip ties holding
it in place. Set aside grates and
Flavorizer until needed.
2) Peel all plastic protective film from
the grill. Be diligent about
inspection as the protective film
will be hard to remove once a grill
is installed and first burned.
3) Detach the controller bracket (17)
from the controller box (16) by
pulling directly backward on the
bracket. This is the same way the
box will detach once installed.
4) Install the bracket into your
structure as shown. The bracket
will require a minimum cavity
opening of 8 1/2” Width, 6 1/2”
Tall, and 3 3/4” Deep.
5) Fasten the bracket using the 4
mounting holes which accept
hardware up to 3/16” wide (not
included). Choose a fastener
appropriate to your island material
type.

pass the cord through the strain relief
which is located on the back left side of
the grill. (Looking at the grill from the
front) This strain relief is located next to
the strain relief used for the component
wiring harness.
8) Once the Ethernet cord is passed into the
back of the grill, connect it into the bottom
of the WiFi card as shown. The tab on the
Ethernet cord goes towards the front of the
grill.
9) Tighten the strain relief onto the Ethernet
cord as shown.
10) Replace the back panel by locating its
three bottom tabs into their slots provided.
Replace the two screws which secure the
back panel in place.
11) Install the included antenna into its bulk
head. The bulk head is located on the left
panel of the grill (Looking at the grill from
the front).
