Location of your Barbecue
Most importantly, this is an outdoor appliance. Ensure your barbecue is
positioned safely away from anything that can catch fire.
Under no circumstances is this barbecue to be used indoors. This includes
garages or any other enclosed area.
Clearance from Combustibles: Ensure your barbecue remains at a distance of at
least 18” from any combustible material such as wood, gyprock, paper and plants. Do
not store combustible materials, gasoline or flammable liquids or vapors within 18” of
the barbecue. Do not locate under unprotected combustible materials.
Adequate Ventilation: Ensure there is adequate ventilation for both the barbecue and
cylinder. This is required for proper combustion and to prevent gas build up.
Firm Level Surface: Use your barbecue only on a firm level surface. This barbecue is
not designed for recreational vehicles, and shall not be installed on a boat or any marine
craft.

Installing the Grill in a BBQ Island
You will need a second person to help you to avoid damaging the grill or your
barbecue island.
Before installing a grill in any island or cut out, make sure that the opening is not bigger
than the outside frame of the grill unit. The grill should rest on the lip of the frame.
Pay careful attention to the location of the gas line. It should be routed away from
sources of heat and should make as few bends as possible.
Check to see if the gas line connection will be accessible when grill is installed.
If the gas line connection is not easily accessible when the grill is installed, support the
grill above counter level and attach the gas line to the grill. When the gas connection is
made, slide the grill into the cut out. If the gas line connection is accessible when the
grill is installed, slide the grill into the cut out and then attach the gas line.
Be very careful not to kink the gas line when lowering the grill into the cut out. Keep
your fingers away from where the grill will be supported on counter. Your fingers could
become trapped and serious injury could occur.
Check to make sure the grill is level and is supported around the entire outside edge. If
the grill is not level or is unstable, use non-combustible shims under the outside lip to
stabilize it.
Perform the leak test procedure as described earlier in this manual.
