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

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

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.

|INSTALLATION / USE & CARE
The grill arrives nearly ready to use and requires only minor
assembly.
By carefully following the uncrating and unpacking steps,
you will improve your first experience with the grill.
Shipping weight on smaller units is app. 300 pounds and
larger units may weigh over 500 pounds.
CRATE & CARTON
• IMPORTANT! Do not remove staples around the top of
the carton. These staples hold a wooden pallet in place
inside the carton that protects the unit from damage.
Removing these staples may cause the pallet to fall on
the top of grill.
How to Remove the Carton
• Cut the main strap holding the grill to the pallet.
• Remove the staples at the bottom of the carton.
• Lift off the carton.
• With assistance, remove the grill from the pallet and
place into desired location.
The wheels sit down in the gaps of the shipping crate so
that the grill can sit safely and solidly on the crate during
shipping. The grill cannot be slid directly off of the pallet.
One way to safely move the grill off of the pallet is by lifting
one end of the grill high enough to place a ramp under the
wheel and then lift the
other end while rolling
the grill off of the pallet.
INTERIOR PACKING
Viking Range, LLC uses sturdy tie-down cables and straps
to ensure your grill arrives at your home in the same condi-
tion that it left our factory. BE SURE YOU HAVE REMOVED
ALL TIE DOWNS BEFORE USING YOUR GRILL.
• Remove the white accessory box and wood packing, the
grill racks, and remove any loose items from the firebox.
• Carefully cut the cable ties securing the warming rack and
rotisserie spit (if equipped).
• Cut the strapping that secures the briquette trays and
carefully lift them out, front first.
Make sure you remember to remove the tie-downs on the
burners.
• On ProSear™ models, cut and remove ties from the
burner partition on the left side of the ProSear™ burner.
• Ensure that all burners are properly seated on the burner
valve orifice and sitting level with the legs in the frame
slots and no side-to-side movement.

The grill is factory set to use either propane (LP) or natural
gas (NAT). It is critical that the gas you use matches that
which the grill was set up for. You can verify that by check-
ing the rating plate.
The Rating plate lists serial numbers, model numbers and gas
type. This one is underneath the drip tray.
The rating plate is located in one or more of the following
places:
• Attached to the underside of the drip tray
• On the heat shield behind the front panel
Ensure that the gas supplied meets with the minimum
pressure requirements. Do not operate the grill on any gas
other than that for which the grill has been set.

Water Column Requirements
Both the regulator and the manifold 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, available from your dealer and must be installed by a
qualified technician.
Installation must conform with local codes or, in the ab-
sence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and
Handling Code, B149.2, in Canada.Canadian installations
must conform to CGA-B149.1/.2 natural gas/propane instal-
lation code. (Canada)
NATURAL GAS
Viking Range, LLC recommends that only qualified profes-
sionals perform the required plumbing on this product.
To ensure satisfactory performance, the gas supply line
must be sized to accommodate the total BTU requirements
of all the gas-fired equipment that will be connected to that
line.
In no case should pipe less than 3/4” inside diameter or 1”
outside diameter ever be used to connect this product.
• Calculate the total BTU output of all equipment and
refer to “INDEX: Gas Supply Line Runs” for allowable run
distances for ¾ inch pipe. Failure to meet these minimum
requirements may reduce performance of the grill and
any other appliances running on that supply line.
• Always keep supply line runs as short as possible. (See
INDEX: “BTU Output” for specific model outputs)
• A gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily acces-
sible location by a qualified plumber.
• Keep threading compound off of the first two pipe
threads to avoid having any small pieces of compound
break loose and clog a burner valve or orifice. Do not use
threading compound on any flare fittings.
For built-in installations, it is recommended that any flexible
pipe used be kept as short as possible. (See INDEX: “Gas
Connections” for typical permanent hook up.)

Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve and turn the
black coupler clockwise until the coupler is hand tight. Do
not over-tighten this connection.
To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main cylinder
valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counter
clockwise. The inlet will then disengage.
Always leak-test the connection after refilling or exchanging
LP cylinders. (See INDEX: “Leak Test” for further details.)
GAS LINE PURGING
You should purge the gas line of air before attempting to
light the grill.
• Make sure all grill controls are in the “OFF” position.
• Slowly turn on the main gas supply.
• Push in the rotisserie knob and confirm that the igniter
is glowing. It is furthest from the fuel source and will
completely purge the lines. It will take several seconds for
the burner to light.
• Hold the knob ON for about 20 seconds to allow the air
in the system to purge and the burner to light
• Wait at least 5 minutes after shutting off the control
before attempting to light the burners.
GAS CONVERSION KITS
Gas conversion kits are available from Viking Range, LLC
to allow the grill to operate on either Natural gas or LPG.
These kits should be installed by a qualified technician.
The kits come with complete installation instructions.
These instructions should be read completely and fully
understood before installing the conversion kit.
BUILT-IN SIDE BURNER INSTALLATION
• Shut off the gas supply at the main valve.
• Disconnect all plumbing (if already attached) from the grill
and the gas supply valve.
• Remove all the fittings from the grill manifold.
• Install the side burner into the counter top cutout.
• Connect the gas supply to the grill and side burner as
shown in the two diagrams on this page.
• Turn the gas supply on and leak test all connections. (See
INDEX: “Leak Test” for further details.)
CART INSTALLATION
• Shut off the gas supply at the main valve.
• Disconnect all plumbing (if already attached) from the grill
and the gas supply valve.
• Remove all the fittings from the grill manifold.
• Install the side burner onto the cart according to the
directions supplied with the cart mounting kit.
• Connect the gas supply to the grill and the side burner as
shown in the diagrams on this page for your gas type.
• Turn the gas supply on and leak test all connections. (See
INDEX: “Leak Test” for further details.)

INSTALLATION / USE & CARE |19
Installation requires an outdoor 120VAC 15A GFI (Ground
Fault Interrupter) electrical outlet adjacent to the grill.
The GFI outlet features an internal breaker that reduces
shock hazard. This type of outlet should be installed by a
qualified electrician either inside the island enclosure for
built-in units, or near the location where a free-standing unit
will be used.
For built-in grills, the supplied 12VDC should be installed
below the grill within the cabinet enclosure. Select a
location where the transformer is protected against water,
heat and physical damage.
When installing the transformer to the grill be careful to
prevent the wiring and transformer from contacting any
hot surfaces behind or below the grill. It is recommended
that the transformer be located below the grill in a readily
accessible location. Be sure to provide adequate access to
facilitate service if the transformer or connections should
need future maintenance.
If the electrical system fails to operate, a connection may
have come loose in shipping or the GFI may have tripped,
requiring a reset. See the Troubleshooting section for more
details.

• Product installation must meet local electric codes or, in the absence of local codes, the latest edition of the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code CGA 1.6b2005.
• Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) protected circuit with this outdoor cooking gas appliance.
• IMPORTANT: When connecting your rotisserie motor, first connect the motor to the grill and then plug the grill
into the outlet.
• This grill is equipped with a three prong (grounding) electric plug for your protection against shock hazard and
must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong outlet. Never cut or remove the grounding
prong from this plug.
• Use only extension cords with a 3 prong grounding plug, rated for the power of the equipment, and approved
for outdoor use with a “W-A” marking.
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse any part of the power cord, an extension cord or any plugs in
water or other liquid.
• Unplug the product from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow it to cool before putting on or
taking off parts.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not use an outdoor cooking gas appliance for purposes other than intended.
• Do not operate any outdoor cooking gas appliance with a damaged cord, plug, or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer for repair.

LEAK TESTING
Leak Test Procedure:
• Create a soapy 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 1/4 turn to align with the gas flow.
• For L.P., turn the cylinder valve knob 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.
Fixing a Gas Leak:
• Shut off the gas supply
• Turn all grill controls to the “ON” position to purge the
grill of any gas build-up, then turn the controls back
“OFF”.
• 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.
• Repeat the leak test to ensure that no leaks are present.
LOW HEAT BURNER ADJUSTMENT
FOR MAIN BRASS BURNERS AND SIDE BURNERS
ONLY!
DO NOT ADJUST THE ROTISSERIE BURNER.
The main brass burners and side burners on your grill
feature an adjustable low setting.
Fluctuations in gas pressure, gas conversion and even in the
quality of the gas itself may affect burner performance at the
“LOW” setting. It could be either too high or too low.
To Adjust the Burner to a Low Setting:
• Make sure the grill is cool.
• Remove the racks so you can see the flames while
adjusting the burners.
• Light the burner and allow it to preheat on high for 3
minutes.
• Turn the burner to “LOW”.
• Pull off the control knob.
• While holding the valve shaft with pliers as shown insert a
small flat screwdriver into the center shaft and adjust the
flame’s low setting.
Clockwise will lower the flame setting, counterclockwise will
raise it.
The proper setting is where the flame is stable at its low-
est setting. A slight flutter will be present in the crossover
portion of the front of the burner before the burner itself
becomes weak.
The factory setting for propane gas is ½ to ¾ turn from the
very bottom of the adjustment. The setting for natural gas
is 1-½ to 1-¾ from the bottom. After the low settings are
proper, turn all burners to high for visual inspection.
Please note the low flame adjustment is not available for
the rotisserie valve.
To prevent fire or explosion hazard, DO NOT
smoke or allow any potential source of ignition
(sparks, electrical arcing, etc) in the area while
performing a leak test. Leak tests should be
conducted outdoors only. Never conduct a leak
test using fire or flame.
DANGER!
