GRILL INSTALLATION –BURNER BOLT REMOVAL
PAGE 10
Why is this Important!
The intensity of the Gas Burners will gradually erode layers of materials of the Stainless-Steel Burners
causing them to eventually Burn-Through, thus causing Flare-Ups. When this happens, you will need to
replace the Burners, and if the Burner Bolts are still attached, they may have Corroded and become
difficult to later remove. By removing these before installation, the burners will be easily removed at any
later time, either for replacement or for annual cleanings.

ATTENTION:Never build shelf or enclose interior space under the BBQ Cut-Out. The Grill is Self-
Rimming and is supported by the top counter surface on the Back and Sides, the front of grill is
designed to Free-Hang. The bottom of Grill needs to be open to allow for proper ventilation.
Grill Cut-Out
Your grill is SELF-RIMMING, meaning the lip of grill rests on top of the counter edge around the cut-out
with the front of grill which is Free-Hanging from counter top. Because of this, there is No Need for any
Trim-Kit like with many other grill in the market.

GRILL INSTALLATION –AIRFLOW & PREVAILING WIND
PAGE 13

ATTENTION:Take special precaution when installing grill in open Breezy area, check the direction of
Prevailing Wind Direction, if back of grill is facing any oncoming wind or breeze, be sure to protect the
back of grill, erect a partition wall, or only use grill with hood open on breezy days.
Windy Conditions
Your grill is specially designed to draw fresh air in through the front, and direct it to the bottom burners.
When grilling the hot gases are then released through the back of grill through a venting system. Using
your grill in windy conditions may disrupt the front-to-back air flow.
1. For breezy days, be careful not to leave the front hood down for more than 15 minutes,when the
burners are on. (Never leave grill unattended when in operation)
2. If you suspect the grill is overheating, using an oven mitt, open the front hood. Thenadjust the
burner control knob to off position.
3. Orient the grill so the Prevailing winds are not blowing into the rear or side of grill.
Windy Area
Positioning your grill in your backyard is more often thought of how it is pleasing to the eye, but more
important than this is how that it functions correctly. Unlike an indoor appliance, your grill has to combat
many outside weather influences in an all manner of weather related instances, most severely is Wind.
4. Maintain proper Prevailing wind, grill direction –with the front of grill facing in to the wind, and
the back of grill in the direct wind is blowing.
5. If direction of wind is unclear, or difficult to combat even with preventative measures, then always
grill with the hood open, and when hood is closed –always be within close proximity to grill and
monitor it that it does not overheat.
6. If wind or breeze is in the direction of back of grill, you must erect partition wall of 14” height so
that the top of grill hood is covered by several inches. If this is not done, you must grill with hood
open and or when hood is closed stand in close area to grill and monitor if the grill overheats.
ISLAND LOCATION –OPEN AREA INSTALL
PAGE 14
ATTENTION:If you do not have a partition wall, always Grill with the Hood Open, and additionally
completely open the bottom Access Doors below the Grill, in order to vent out excess heat buildup.
ATTENTION:All Gas Grill Installations MUST HAVE MINIMUM TWO AIR-FLOW VENTS, either in
ELEVATED POSITION for Natural Gas or LOWERED POSITION for Liquid Propane. Your Warranty may
be VOID if island does not meet basic setup requirements.

Minimum Distances to Combustible Materials or other
Appliance ONLY, Non-Combustible materials do not apply!
From Counter to Overhead Structure
4’ to 6’ ft. Min.
Clearance
From Counter to Outdoor Vent Hood
48" Min. Clearance
From Floor to Counter Top
42" Min. Clearance
From Grill to Vent Hood Width
4”-6" Min. Clearance
From Appliance to Appliance
3" Min. Clearance
From Appliance to Combustible Material
24" Min. Clearance
Clearances to Non-Combustible Construction*:
A minimum of 4” to 6” clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required for
the purpose of allowing the lid to open fully. It is desirable to allow at least 6” rear and side clearance to
construction above the cooking surface for counter space. If you’ll be using the rotisserie option, the space
is essential for motor and skewer clearance.
BODILY INJURY:Failure to maintain required clearances creates a fire hazard that may
result in property damage or serious personal injury.
Clearances to Combustible Construction**:
Minimum of 24” from the sides and rear of grill must be maintained to adjacent vertical combustible
construction, above the counter top level. You should take in account that there is a large volume of heat,
and smoke will exhaust from the rear of the grill. This may discolor or damage unprotected areas, do not
install under unprotected combustible construction without using a fire safe ventilation system.
A 24” minimum clearance must be maintained under the counter top to combustible construction. The
clearance can be modified by a use of an insulated jacket.
** DEFINITION OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL - Anymaterials of a building structure or decorative
structure made of wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, vinyl/plastic or other materials that are capable of
transferring heat or being ignited and burned. Such material shall be considered combustible even though flame-
proofed, fire-retardant treated or surface-painted, or plastered.
ISLAND LOCATION –ENCLOSED INSTALL

ATTENTION:All Gas Grill Installations MUST HAVE MINIMUM TWO AIR-FLOW VENTS, either in
ELEVATED POSITION for Natural Gas or LOWERED POSITION for Liquid Propane. Your Warranty may
be VOID if island does not meet basic setup requirements.
