SAFETY AND INSTALLATION WARNINGS
• Please read all instructions before installation or operating your gas grill to prevent injury and appliance damage
• All gas grills will get hot during use. Use extreme caution when operating the grill
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Always use the handle to open or close the grill
•Never use dented, rusty or damaged propane cylinders. Never store additional or empty propane cylinders in the grill
cabinet or in the vicinity of this or any other appliance
•Close supervision is necessary when this or any appliance is used near children. Keep children away from the grill during
operation and until the grill has cooled off
•Children should never be left alone or unattended 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 in the masonry enclosure
• Never move the grill when hot. When in use, portions of the grill are hot enough to cause severe burns.
•Always maintain the required clearances from combustibles as detailed. The grill is designed for outdoor use only. Never
use in a garage, building, shed, breezeway, or other enclosed area. Do not use this grill under any unprotected overhead
combustible construction
•Gas grills are not designed or certified for and are not to be installed in or on recreational vehicles, portable trailers, boats
or any other moving installation
• Always have an ABC Fire Extinguisher accessible — never attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or other liquids.
•Storing your grill: Store your grill in a well-ventilated area. If stored indoors, detach and leave L.P. cylinder outdoors in a
well-ventilated area away from heat and away from where children may tamper with it
•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
•Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless specifically recommended in this manual. Other service should be
performed by a qualified technician
•If the grill is installed by a professional installer or technician, be sure that he/she shows 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.
• Do not twist the gas supply hose
•Inspect the L.P. gas supply hose prior to each use of the grill. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose
is cut, it must be replaced before using the grill
•The use of accessories, regulators, or components not recommend by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries and
will void warranty
•Never light the grill with the hood closed and be certain the burners are positioned and seated over the gas valves and on
the burner support
• Never lean over the cooking surface when lighting or operating the grill
• Use barbecue tools with wood handles and insulated oven mitts when operating the grill
•Be sure the gas supplied to the grill conforms to the model you purchased. A natural gas grill requires natural gas to operate;
a liquid propane grill requires liquid propane to operate
•Never connect the appliance to an unregulated gas supply line. Grills operated without a regulator are unsafe and will not
be serviced until installed properly and safely. Unsafe operation without a gas regulator will void the warranty
•Grills operating with natural gas must be installed with the NG regulator supplied with the unit and set to 4.0” of water
column pressure
• Grills operating with liquid propane must be installed with an LP regulator and set to 11” of water column pressure

BEFORE GRILLING
IMPORTANT NOTES:
BE MINDFUL OF WIND DIRECTION
When selecting a suitable location, consider
important factors such as exposure to the
wind and foot traffic patterns. If you have a
freestanding grill, position it so the prevailing
wind blows into the front control panel (at your
back when grilling), allowing for proper front
to rear airflow. Built-in grills located in areas
with prevailing winds should be protected by
a wind barrier, wind deflector, or wind guard.
The grill is designed to pull in air from the
front and exhaust through the rear of the unit.
Winds hitting the back of the grill directly may
cause problems. Be sure wind doesn’t blow
into the hood gap.
GAS LINE LENGTH
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible.
Gas lines lose pressure over distance and with
each elbow or “t” fitting added. This drop in
pressure affects grill performance.
PROPER LEVELING
Proper leveling during installation is critical. A
grill that is out of level will cause erratic burner
combustion and inefficient, uneven heating.
The grill should be level in all directions.
Adjustments may need to be made each time
when moving a freestanding unit.
CONSTRUCTION ZONES
Keep all stainless steel products away from
construction zones. Construction debris such
as (but not limited to) stone dust, stucco, and
lime dust could damage or permanently
discolor stainless steel products. Keep all
caustic chemicals including chlorine and pool
cleaning products away from stainless steel at
all times.
SHIPMENT ARRIVING DAMAGED:
VISIBLE SHIPPING DAMAGES
If your shipment arrives with visible damage to
the box/carton, be sure the damage is noted
on the bill of freight or express receipt and
signed by the person making the delivery. File
claim for damages immediately, regardless of
the extent of damage.
CONCEALED DAMAGES
If damages are unnoticed until the grill is
unpacked, notify the transportation company
or carrier immediately and file a concealed
damage claim with them. This should be done
within (5) days of the delivery date. Be sure to
hold on to the box/carton for inspection. We
cannot assume responsibility for damage or
loss incurred in transit.
TESTING FOR LEAKS
Create a soapy water solution of 1 part soap
and 3 parts water. Confirm that all control
knobs are in the off position. Turn on the
fuel supply. For natural gas, turn the valve
handle ¼ turn to align with the gas flow. For
LP, turn the cylinder valve counter clockwise
one full rotation. Apply the soap solution
generously by paint brush or squirt bottle on
all connections and fittings. If bubbles appear
to grow on any of the connections, you have
a gas leak. IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas
supply. Wash off the soapy solution with
cold water and dry. Tighten the loose joint
or replace the faulty part with manufacturer-
recommended replacement parts. DO NOT
attempt to repair the L.P. cylinder valve if it is
damaged. The only way to safely resolve a
damaged cylinder is to replace it by calling an
authorized gas appliance service technician
or an LP gas dealer. Repeat the leak test to
ensure that no leaks are present. Do not use
the appliance until the leak is corrected.

When using an exhaust hood, the area
above the cooking surface of the grill must be
covered with a hood larger than the cooking
area of the grill, AND with a minimum of
600 CFM (cubic feet per minute) for proper
outdoor application
Select the proper height to mount the hood.
Take into consideration the stature of the
person or persons who will be cooking.
A height of 30" to 36" above the cooking
surface will suit most users. If mounted at a
height greater than 36" above the cooking
surface, the hood should be at least 6" wider
than the cooking appliance to provide a
proper capture of heat and grease. (Refer to
the range manufacturer's guidelines) Once
the proper height is established, draw a level
line where the bottom of the hood will rest. If
practical, mount a board equal to the width
of the hood along the line so you may rest the
hood on it while installing.

GAS REQUIREMENTS GAS REQUIREMENTS
WARNING!
GAS LINES
MINIMUM PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT
Never connect a gas line directly to the grill. A
pressure regulator must be installed on all gas
equipment. Removing or failing to install the
pressure regulator can result in fire and serious
personal injury and will void the warranty
Ensure the gas supplied meets the minimum
pressure requirements. See below table for
gas requirements measure in water column
(w.c.) pressure:
All installation and all installation parts
must conform to local codes with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 70 latest edition and the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54 in the U.S. and CGA-B149.1/.2 in
Canada
Both the regulator and burner orifices have
been tuned for the type of gas specified on
the rating plate. Converting to a different type
of gas requires a conversion kit. Conversion
kits are included with this grill and located with
the manual. Converting gases may require
additional parts not included with this grill.
(See Gas Conversion section for details).
NOTE: DO NOT use any tape, pipe dope or
threading compound on any flare fitting. This
will cause a clog in the regulator and prevent
your grill from functioning properly.

FILLING AND REFILLING LP
GAS CYLINDERS
CONNECTING TO THE LP TANK
All purging and refilling of LP gas
cylinders must be performed by
qualified personnel in the LP gas
industry. Never store a spare LP gas
cylinder under or near this appliance.
Never fill the LP gas cylinder beyond
80 percent full. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in explosion,
personal injury or death.
Never connect an unregulated LP gas tank
to your gas grill. The gas regulator assembly
supplied with your gas grill is adjusted to have
an outlet pressure of an estimated 11” water
column (W.C.) for connection to an LP gas tank.
LP gas grill models are designed for use with
a standard 20 lb. liquid propane gas (LP) tank
with type (1) valve connections. (Not included)
Never connect your gas grill to an LP tank that
exceeds this capacity. A tank of approximately
12 inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches high is
the maximum size LP gas tank to use. A propane
tank with an OPD (Overfill Prevention Device)
must be used. This safety feature prevents the
tank from being over-filled which can cause
malfunction of the LP gas tank, regulator and/
or grill.
The LP cylinder must be constructed and
marked in accordance with the specifications
for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) and designed for use
with a Type 1 system only. Be sure to read and
follow all LP connection instructions.
The hose and regulator are connected in the
following manner:
1. Use a standard 20 lbs. LP tank with QCC
– 1 fitting
2. Grills set up for LP gas come equipped
with an LP hose regulator assembly for
connection to a standard 20 lbs. LP
cylinder (Type 1)
NOTE: DO NOT use any tape, pipe dope or
threading compound on any flare fitting. This
will cause a clog in the regulator and prevent
your grill from functioning properly.
Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve
and turn the black coupling nut clockwise until
the coupling nut is hand tight. DO NOT over-
tighten this connection.
To disconnect the coupling nut, first make sure
the main cylinder valve is turned off. Grasp
the coupling nut and turn counter clockwise.
The inlet will then disengage.
•The tank supply system must be arranged
for vapor withdrawal.
•The LP gas tank used must have a collar
to protect the tank valve.
•The LP gas tank has a shutoff valve,
terminating in an LP gas supply tank valve
outlet that is compatible with a Type 1
tank connection device. The LP gas tank
must also have a safety relief device that
has a direct communication with the vapor
space of the tank.

GAS REQUIREMENTS
A dented or rusty LP cylinder may be
hazardous and should be avoided. If in
doubt, have it checked by your LP supplier.
Always check for leaks after every LP cylinder
change. (See Checking For Leaks)
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-
ventilated area out of the reach of children.
If your grill is stored indoors, the LP cylinder
must be stored outside, in upright position
and away from excessive heat.
IMPORTANT
All installation and all installation parts
must conform to local codes with the

2. Always close the valve from the gas
When removing stubborn stains:
1. Do not use metallic abrasives and always
rub in the direction of the grain
2. Some household cleaning products are not
suitable for stainless steel; be sure to read
the label before using on the grill
3. Always use the mildest cleaning solution
first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain
4. Specks of grease may gather in the grain
of the stainless steel and bake on to the
surface, giving the appearance of rust
5. To remove these baked-on foods use a fine
to medium grit non-metallic abrasive pad
(Scotch Brite is good) in conjunction with a
stainless-steel cleaner
6. Solutions used for cleaning concrete and
masonry can be very corrosive and will
‘attack’ stainless steel
7. Be sure your Summerset products are well
protected before using these products
After each use wipe down the exterior of the
grill to remove grease and splatters. Use a
commercially available stainless-steel cleaner
to clean and polish the exterior surfaces. Doing
these things on a regular basis minimizes the
amount of effort required
#304 stainless steel materials used in the
construction of your Summerset Professional
Grill are highly rust resistant, however, chlorine
in the air from swimming pools or the salt from
sea air may cause surface rust to appear and
even create some pitting if left on the product.
Here are a few tips to avoid this:
•Routinely wash with warm soapy water
and apply stainless steel polish to
protect grill interior.
• Burn off excess food debris and marinades
for 15 minutes after cooking
• Once the unit is cool, turn over the burner
covers and burn the top side (the burner
covers are reversible and are able to
be mounted upside down for cleaning
purposes)
• Use an approved stainless-steel oven
cleaner to remove grease build up and
wipe away
• Routinely have a professional barbecue
cleaning company detail the barbecue for
best results and longevity
PRE-HEATING THE GRILL
Pre-heating your grill every time you use it is
extremely important. Pre-heating allows the
briquettes to properly heat up, providing more
even and more consistent cooking results. Pre-
heat your grill by igniting all main burners. Then
close the hood and allow the grill to heat for 10 to
15 minutes, the hood thermometer should reach
approximately 450°. Once you’ve reached
your desired pre-heat temperature, turn off the
burners that you won’t be using to cook your
food. Remember, surface temperature can be
up to 200° higher.
SHUT OFF INSTRUCTIONS
1. To shut off the unit, depress each valve
•To Adjust the Burner to a Low Setting:
• Make sure the grill is cool and the gas is off
• Remove the racks so you can see the flames
while adjusting the flame height
• Turn the burner to “LOW”
• Pull off the control knob
• Use a flat head screw driver and adjust the
“gold flathead screw” in the valve to the
proper flame height
•Turn on the gas and light the burner
allowing it to preheat on high for 3 minutes
•Turn off gas and readjust if needed
supply after each use of the unit.
NOTE: When using a portable propane tank:
Propane tanks are equipped with a safety
shutdown device that may cause low or no gas
pressure/flame at the burners if operating and
lighting instructions are not followed exactly.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
The drip tray should be cleaned after each use.
After the grill is completely cool, remove the
drip tray by pulling it out until it stops, then lifting
the front edge until the drip tray comes free.
Clean it with hot soapy water or an oven-style
cleaning product and re-install. When using an
oven-style cleaning product be sure to carefully
follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Many of
these cleaners are toxic and can damage the
stainless-steel finish if not used properly. Also,
check the tray after rain. If you’ve left the grill
uncovered, you may need to remove the drip
tray to drain the water from the tray.
MAINTENANCE TIPS
STAINLESS STEEL NEEDS TO BE
CLEANED?!? ABSOLUTELY!
Stainless steels need to be cleaned for aesthetic
considerations and to preserve corrosion
resistance. Stainless steel is protected from
corrosion by a thin layer of chromium oxide.
Oxygen from the atmosphere combines with
the chromium in the stainless steel to form
this passive chromium oxide film that protects
from further corrosion. Any contamination of
the surface by dirt, or other material, hinders
this passivation process and traps corrosive
agents reducing corrosion protection. Thus,
routine cleaning is necessary to preserve the
appearance and integrity of the surface. If you
think about it, you wash your dishes and clean
your cooking surfaces after each use in your
indoor kitchen...Why should your outdoor
cooking appliance be any different???
GRILL EXTERIOR
GRILL INTERIOR
• Regularly wipe down the exterior surfaces
with a damp cloth (micro fiber towels work
well)
• Allow the surfaces to dry before installing
the cover Do not cover a damp grill
• In extreme environments apply a rust
inhibitor which leaves a microscopic
protective layer on the grill
• For seasonal storage use the product
referred to above, ensure the grill is
dry, then cover and secure the cover to
minimize the amount of damp air getting to
the surfaces
The Summerset Lifetime Warranty
provides protection against rust
through of parts that render the
product inoperative. It does not cover
occasional surface rust or staining due to
environmental conditions.
After your first use, certain areas of the grill
may discolor from the intense heat given off
by the burners - this is normal and cannot be
cleaned off. For light and heavy food stains
there are many different stainless-steel cleaners
available.

ROTISSERIE INSTALLATION
CAUTION: When using the back burner,
keep the grill lid closed to prevent heat loss,
provide proper convection and provide
proper venting. This will ensure even cooking
temperatures.
Do not keep you grill lid open while cooking
on the rotisserie as this may cause personal
injury, or in some cases, in windy conditions,
damage the grill.
Do not use the rotisserie motor in the rain. Do
not leave the motor on the grill when not in use.
ROTISSERIE INSTALLATION
The preferred location to install a drop-in sear
burner is on the far left of the grill. This will
allow for a sear zone while maximizing the
main burner grilling space. To install a drop-in
sear burner:
1. Open the hood before lighting; do not
attempt to ignite burners while hood is
closed.
2. Make sure gas supply is turned on.
3. Make sure burner control knobs are in the
“OFF” position.
4. Press in the control knob then slightly
turn the knob counterclockwise while still
pressing in.
5. Hold in the above position for 5 seconds
allowing the gas to reach the manifold.
6. Turn the knob counterclockwise past the
ignition to the high setting to ignite. You
will hear the one time clicking sound of the
spark ignition.
7. After ignition, set the knob to the desired
setting.
•Remove the grate and burner covers to
access the main burner
•Remove the cotter pin securing the main
burner (if necessary)
•Remove main burner
•Remove cross tube in between main
burners allowing for drop-in sear burner
to rest flat
