General Information
• Keep grill area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors.
• When the outdoor grill is not in use, the gas
supply must be turned off at the LP gas supply
cylinder.
• The pressure regulator and hose assembly
supplied with the outdoor grill must be used.
Replacement pressure regulators and hose
assemblies must be those specified by the
manufacturer.
• Finding a leak is not a “do-it-yourself”
procedure. Some leaks can only be found with
the burner control in the on position and this
must be done by a qualified technician.
• The LP supply cylinder to be used must be
constructed and marked in accordance with
the specifications for LP- gas cylinders of the
U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or
the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-
B339, Cylinders, Spheres, and Tubes for the
Transportation of Dangerous Goods.
• 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.
• Gas Manifold Pressure–
Natural gas - 4.0” W.C.P.

WARNING
This outdoor gas grill is not intended to be
installed inside a home or on recreational vehicles
and/or boats.
WARNING
Keep electrical supply cord and the fuel supply
hose away from heated surfaces.
WARNING
This appliance is not fused. Installer must install
a ground fault interrupt.
WARNING
If the following instructions are not followed
exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury
may occur:
•Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under
or near this appliance.
•Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
WARNING
This appliance is not fused. Installer must install
a ground fault interrupt.

General Information
• A minimum of 6” (15.2 cm) from the sides,
or a minimum of 8” (20.3 cm) from the
right side if there is a rotisserie motor and
a minimum of 24” (61.0 cm) from the back
must be maintained from the grill above
the cooking surface to adjacent vertical
combustible construction. The grill is not
to be located under overhead
unprotected combustible construction.
NOTE: An insulated jacket (INJK-
purchased separately) is required when
installing a grill in combustible type
material.
• Note that the grill exhausts combustion
products and cooking greases to the back.
NEVER locate the grill in a location where
the exhaust is directed at a window, less
than 24” (61.0 cm) to combustible
material or any surface that is difficult
to clean.
• A minimum of 3” (7.6 cm) clearance from
the back of the grill with a canopy and a
minimum of 6” (15.2 cm) from the back of
the grill without a canopy to non-
combustible construction is required for
the purpose of allowing the lid to open
fully and for proper ventilation. It is
desirable to allow at least 6” side
clearance to non-combustible construction
above the cooking surface for counter
space. If using the rotisserie option, the
space is essential for motor and skewer
clearance. The grill can be placed directly
adjacent to combustible and/or non-
combustible construction below the
cooking surface. However, clearances from
non-combustible materials are not part of
the ANSI Z21.58 scope and are not
certified by CSA. Clearances to non-
combustible materials must be approved
by the authority having jurisdiction.
• When determining a suitable location for
the grill, take into account concerns such
as exposure to wind, proximity to traffic
paths and keeping gas supply lines as
short as possible. Locate the grill only in a
well-ventilated area. Never locate the grill
in a building, garage, shed or other such
fully enclosed areas. During heavy use, the
grill will produce a lot of smoke. Ensure
there is adequate area for it to dissipate.
• When using a rear wall, locate a 110/120
volt supply outlet on the bottom left hand
side beneath the solid bottom support at
a maximum distance of 2 feet. This
connection is to be used for the ignition
system and canopy lights. In addition, the
rotisserie motor requires a separate
110/120 volt supply to be located on the
right hand side of the grill. The power
supply cord for the rotisserie motor is
equipped with a 3-prong (grounded) plug
for protection against shock hazard. Do
not cut or remove the grounding from the
plug. The electrical service must be
equipped with a properly grounded 3-
prong receptacle as required by the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-
latest edition. Installation in Canada must
be in accordance with the Canadian
Electrical Code, CSA 22.1 and local
codes.
IMPORTANT: Gas fittings, regulator, and
installer supplied shut-off valve must be
easily accessible.

Check with your local gas utility company or with
local codes for instructions on installing gas
supply lines. Be sure to check on type and size of
run and how deep to bury the lines. If the gas line
is too small, the grill will not function properly.
To connect the supplied regulator assembly to
the incoming flexible gas line, attach with a 3/8”
female flare adapter to the 3/8” male flare
adapter to the regulator assembly. Ensure that
the regulator arrow points in the direction of the
gas flow towards the unit and away from the
supply. Attach the regulator assembly to the grill
unit. Do not forget to place the installer
supplied gas valve in an accessible
location

LP/Propane Tank Requirements
A dented or rusty LP/Propane tank may be
hazardous and should be checked by your tank
supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged
valve. All tanks should be equipped with an OPD
(overfilling protection device). This is a DOT
requirement for all tanks purchased after
October 1, 1998 and will ensure that the tank is
not overfilled. The LP/Propane tank should be a
standard 5-gal, 20 lb. gas cylinder tank
approximately 12” in diameter and 18” high
which must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the Specifications for LP/Propane
Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard
of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres
and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous
Goods; and Commission. The cylinder connection
device must be compatible with the Type 1,
QCC-1 connector on the outdoor cooking
appliance.
All LP/Propane tanks must be mounted in a
vertical position for proper ventilation. The
cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve
terminating in an LP/Propane gas supply cylinder
valve outlet specified. The cylinder supply system
must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and
provided with a listed overfilling prevention
device. If the appliance is stored indoors the
cylinder must be disconnected and removed from
the appliance. Each tank is supplied with a dust
cap. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet
whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install
the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet
that is provided with the cylinder valve.
Other types of caps or plugs may result in
leakage of propane. The cylinder used must
include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-
vented area out of the reach of children.
Built-In Installations
Built-in installations must be plumbed using a
fixed/hard line if the unit is going to be operated
at a distance exceeding 3 feet (0.91 meters) from
the fuel supply per ANSI Z21.24 CSA. Also, in a
built-in construction where an LP/Propane tank is
going to be used, there MUST be some type of
support (braces, cutout, etc.) to prevent tank from
moving within the installation. The support must
also allow the LP/Propane tank to withstand a
horizontal tipping force equal to the weight of
the tank without tipping over. The tank can not
tip over or deflect more than 1.00 inch when a
8 lb. horizontal force is applied to a 20 lb.
