Position the Front Panel between the front grill legs—with
Lighting Instructions at top-front—aligning the two (2)
holes in the side flanges of the panel with those in the legs.

essary to lightly tap the pins. See Fig. 5.
Step 7: Install Grease Cup, Cup Holder and Pan.
Required: Grease pan, grease cup and grease cup holder
Depending on the style of grease cup holder you were provided, assemble the grease cup into the grease cup
holder as shown in either Figure 6a or 6b.
Insert
NOTE: 2 holes on the backside of the grease
cup are inserted into the prongs on the grease cup
holder.
Notch
NOTE: The grease cup sits in place on the grease
cup holder. The grease cup must be oriented so the
notches are located on the right and left sides.
Assemble the grease cup holder with the grease cup into the grease pan. This is done by squeezing the two hook ends
of the grease cup holder together so they can be inserted into the opening on the grease pan. This procedure is illus-
trated for both types of grease cup holders in Figures 6c and 6d.
