GS-SB1 Single Side Burner Operator Manual Specifications •11
Gas Regulator
Check the burner unit’s rating plate (Figure 16) to ensure your gas supply is correct for the burner unit
you purchased.
Gas Line Length
All gas supply lines should be as short as safely possible. Gas supply lines lose pressure over distance and
with each elbow or “T” Adapter fitting added, which causes pressure drops that negatively impact
performance.
LP Gas
For each burner unit configured for LP gas supply, customer must purchase and install an LP gas
regulator set for 11” water column pressure.
A single or double side burner must be connected to a separate regulated supply line and LP tank.
Natural Gas
Use NG flex line between the gas supply and the manufacturer supplied
regulator (right) set for 4” water column pressure.
If installed with a NG grill, the NG burner unit may be connected to the
grill’s regulated supply line via a “T” adapter, or connected to its own
separate NG supply line.
Installation
Operating a gas cooking appliance without a proper regulator is
dangerous and may cause serious bodily injury, death and/or property
damage, and voids all warranties. Gas appliances are convertible
to/from NG or LP gas supply by a licensed professional.
Customer must hire a licensed technician to ensure safe and proper
installation of all gas regulators, gas supply hoses, gas conversions,
electrical connections and lines, and plumbing connections.
Be sure the installer shows you where your gas supply shut-off is located. All gas lines must have a shut-
off that is readily and easily accessible.
STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS – Massachusetts requires all gas be installed by a plumber or gas fitter
carrying the appropriate Massachusetts license. All permanently-installed natural gas or propane

12 •Specifications GS-SB1 Single Side Burner Operator Manual
installations require a "T" handle type manual gas valve be installed in the gas supply line to this
appliance. This does not apply to portable propane installations using a 20 lb. cylinder.
Delivery company employees are not licensed electricians or plumbers and shall NOT install or
connect any gas regulators or supply lines, electrical connections or lines, or plumbing.
Outdoor Rated Electric Cord
Your Paradise Grills Outdoor Kitchen’s base burner unit is pre-wired with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) electrical outlet installed. This electrical box has a hanging plug pigtail for connection
to an existing GFCI electrical outlet for power supply. The customer must supply an outdoor-rated
extension cord long enough to reach your chosen electrical outlet.

GS-SB1 Single Side Burner Operator Manual Grill Island Preparation •13
Grill Island Preparation
Paradise Grills Island Ventilation
Grill islands and Island Bars manufactured by Paradise Grills are portable and must be adequately vented as
shown in Figure 4:
a. Use the provided adjustable footers to ensure the island’s entire bottom edge, on all sides, is always
at least 1” above the ground
b. Open gap spacing under the burner unit head (and side burners, if installed)
c. Open gap spacing around the refrigerator (if applicable).
Figure 4 Paradise Grills Island Venting Example
The island’s entire bottom edge, on all sides, must always be maintained at
least 1” above the ground to allow for sufficient ventilation. Failure to do so
can cause gas to accumulate and may result in an explosion.

14 •Grill Island Preparation GS-SB1 Single Side Burner Operator Manual
Paradise Grills manufactured Islands use adjustable footers to allow sufficient airflow for effective
ventilation (Figure 5).
Figure 5 Air Gap Footers
Single Burner Location
Consider important factors such as wind exposure and foot traffic patterns when choosing a location for the
burner unit. Locate the burner unit outdoors in a well-ventilated area on a level, stable surface and with safe
clearance from combustible construction (see Clearances below). Ensure your burner unit is positioned
safely away from anything that can catch fire.
Position a freestanding burner unit so the prevailing wind blows into the front control panel (at your back
when cooking) to allow for proper front to rear airflow. A built-in burner unit enclosure in areas with
prevailing winds should be protected by a wind barrier, wind deflector, or wind guard. Winds directly hitting
the back of the burner unit may cause unsafe and improper operation.
•This burner unit is designed for outdoor use only.
•DO NOT use this burner unit inside a building, garage, or
enclosed area.
•DO NOT use this burner unit in or on a recreational vehicle,
trailer, boat, or any other moving installation.
As with any gas cooking appliance, harmful carbon monoxide is produced during the combustion process
that should not be allowed to accumulate in a confined or enclosed space. Because hot air rises above the
burner unit while in operation, covered locations should be avoided.
•Do not locate the burner unit under an overhang or awning
•Do not place this burner unit under or near windows or vents that can be opened into your home
•Always use CAUTION when using the burner unit near glass, vinyl siding or other temperature-
sensitive construction materials
oConsider increasing the clearance around the burner unit to avoid damage to such materials
oCheck with the manufacturer of the construction materials for guidance

GS-SB1 Single Side Burner Operator Manual Grill Island Preparation •15
Clearances
Your burner unit must be installed to ensure sufficient clearance from any combustible materials. The
customer is responsible for compliance with all city local codes and product placement.
Ensure your Single Burner is located at least 14” on the sides and 16” in the back from any combustible
material such as wood, gyprock, paper and plants. Do not store combustible materials, gasoline or
flammable liquids or vapors anywhere in the vicinity of the Single Burner.
Custom Island Construction
This Single Burner is for outdoor use only! Do not operate in a
building, garage, or any other enclosed area. Doing so could result in
carbon monoxide buildup which could result in injury or death.
Do not install or operate the Single Burner in or on a recreational
vehicle, trailer, boat, marine craft, or other moving conveyance.
Paradise Grills makes no warranties or representations as to the safe and proper design, construction,
ventilation, or installation of a custom-built grill island.
The following planning considerations are provided as general information only. You must consult with a
licensed contractor to ensure safe and proper design, construction, ventilation, and installation in
accordance with all applicable codes.
Because the amount of venting required varies on a case-by-case basis, consult with a licensed contractor
and local codes for adequate ventilation requirements. Keep all enclosure ventilation openings free and
clear from any debris or obstructions.
Planning Considerations
Building permit: Check with city and fire departments for local building codes. A permit may be required for
a custom-built grill island.
Materials: All custom-built grill islands must be constructed using only non-combustible materials. If any
combustible materials are used, an insulated jacket must be added between the burner unit and the island.
Adequate ventilation: Ensure there is adequate ventilation, for both the burner unit and LP gas cylinder, to
allow proper combustion and to prevent gas build up.
Compartments: A heat shield is required beneath the burner unit head. A plenum wall is required to create
a separate compartment for the LP gas cylinder. If multiple LP appliances are in use, each LP cylinder
requires its own vented compartment.

16 •Grill Island Preparation GS-SB1 Single Side Burner Operator Manual
Firm level surface: Use your burner unit only on a firm level surface. This burner unit is not designed for use
in or on a recreational vehicle, and should not be installed or used on a boat, marine craft, or other moving
conveyance.
Propane tank mount: Your island must be equipped with a propane tank mounting bracket for a 20 lb.
cylinder. See Customer Required Items.
Gas supply line: Pay careful attention to the gas line location. It should be routed away from sources of
heat, sharp edges and rough surfaces, and should make as few bends as possible.
Gas supply access: When your Single Burner is installed, you should have clear access to the gas supply line
including the gas piping or hose, gas regulator, gas cylinder and any shutoff valves. A safety shutoff valve is
required at the gas supply connection point.
Partial enclosures: Many backyards have areas that are partially closed off, such as balconies and pergolas.
In some cases, it is hard to decide whether these partially enclosed areas should be classified as indoor
areas, particularly in terms of permanent (non-closable) ventilation. If you are in doubt, consult your local
codes or a licensed contractor for guidance.
Measure: Always have equipment measured by a Contractor before building. Measure to ensure the
opening is not bigger than the outside frame of the burner unit (Figure 6); the burner unit edges must rest
on the lip of the frame.
Figure 6 Burner Unit fits in Island Frame

GS-SB1 Single Side Burner Operator Manual Grill Island Preparation •17
Custom-built Island Ventilation
Every component within the grill island must be vented – refrigerator, LP
gas cylinder, etc. Vent locations must be determined by a licensed
professional according to the design and configuration of your custom-
built island. Figure 7 illustrates examples of possible venting locations
for custom-built grill islands.
Figure 7 Example Vent Locations
Custom-built Island Cut-outs
Ensure any island cut-out opening is no larger than the outside frame of the appliance being installed. The
appliance should rest on the lip of the frame.
Figure 8 illustrates sample cut-out sizes for a grill island. Here are some other considerations:
•Ensure your grill island cavity is adequately vented. Consult your local licensed professional and local
codes for adequacy requirements
•Ensure your outdoor kitchen is constructed out of non-combustible materials
•If your outdoor kitchen is constructed of any combustible materials, an insulated jacket is REQUIRED
•Cutout dimensions do not allow for lid clearance or other measurement requirements. See Single
Side Burner Dimensions for specifics
•Please allow for a tolerance of +/- 1/8"; we recommend having your appliances in hand to measure
before making final cutouts in your custom-built grill island
