• 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. Do not store propane cylinders
indoors or on their sides.
• 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. (See INDEX: “Leak
Testing” for further details.) Never check for gas leaks with an open flame.
• 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.
• Never remove the grounding prong from the plug or use this product with an ungrounded, 2-prong
adapter.
THIS MANUAL MUST REMAIN WITH THE PRODUCT OWNER FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa).
2. The outdoor cooking gas appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

THE WIND
?
When selecting a suitable location, consider important fac-
tors 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), su

Built-in grills located in areas with

be

HOW LONG IS YOUR RUN
?
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible because gas
lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow and
t
ee that is added. This drop in pressure affects grill per
-
f
ormance. (See INDEX: “Gas Supply Line Runs” for furthe
r
details.
)

Proper leveling during installation is critical. A grill that is

cient, uneven heating. A carpenter’s spirit level should be
used to level the grill both front-to-back and side-to-side
.
If the floor is uneven or has a decided slope, re-leveling
may be required each time you move a freestanding unit.
Be sure wind doesn’t blow into the hood gap.

INSTALLATION / USE & CARE |7
BUILT-IN INSTALLATIONS
This built-in grill is designed for easy installation into
masonry enclosures.
NOTE: Built-in grills are intended either for installation in a
built-in enclosure constructed of non-combustible materi-
als or for an installation in a built in enclosure constructed
of combustible material when installed with a insulating
jacket (LIJ).
For non-combustible applications, the grill drops into the
opening shown in the cutout detail drawing (See INDEX:
“Gas Requirements”) and hangs from its counter-top trim.
A deck is not required to support it from the bottom.
When using the insulated jacket in a combustible enclo-
sure, the jacket must be supported from the bottom by a
ledge on each side or a full deck beneath the jacket.
(See INDEX: “Gas Requirements”) Pay special attention to
the provisions shown for gas line hook-up.
The enclosure should have ventilation holes to prevent gas
build-up in the event of a leak. The deck ledges and coun-
ter should be flat and level. (refer to ANSI Z21.58 Standard
for Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliances, Section 1.7 Enclo-
sures For Self Contained LP-Gas Supply Systems)
This grill requires that a 120 volt, 60 hertz, 15 amp GFI
certified outlet be installed by a qualified electrician.
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Minimum clearance from the sides and back of the grill to
adjacent combustible construction below the counter top
surface is 12” from the sides and 6 1/4” from the back of
the hood.
Minimum clearance from sides and back of grill to ad-
jacent combustible construction extending above the
counter top surface is 12” from the sides and 6 1/4” from
the back.
Do not use this appliance under unprotected overhead
combustible surfaces.
A minimum of 6” of clearance is needed on the left side of
the grill above the counter top for the motor and skewer.
If the grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure, an
approved insulated jacket is necessary and is available
only from your Viking Range, LLC dealer. Insulated jackets
have been designed and tested specifically for your grill.
REAR HOOD CLEARANCE
A 3 inch clearance is required behind the grill to allow the
front hood to open.
The grill exhausts combustion products and cooking
greases to the back. Never locate the grill where this ex-
haust will be difficult to clean.
