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 materials or
for an installation in a built in enclosure constructed of com-
bustible material when installed with a insulating jacket).
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 enclosure,
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 counter
should be at and level. (refer to ANSI Z21.58 Standard for Out-
door Cooking Gas Appliances, Section 1.7 Enclosures For Self
Contained LP-Gas Supply Systems)
This grill requires that a 120 volt, 60 hertz, 15 amp GFI certied
outlet be installed by a qualied electrician.
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Minimum clearance from the sides and back of the grill to adja-
cent 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 adjacent
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 com-
bustible 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 specically 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 exhaust will be
dicult to clean.

|INSTALLATION / USE & CARE
The grill arrives nearly ready to use and requires only minor as-
sembly.
By carefully following the uncrating and unpacking steps, you
will improve your rst 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 o 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 o of the pallet.
One way to safely move the grill o 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 o 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 condition 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 rebox.
• Carefully cut the cable ties securing the warming rack and

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 checking 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.

NATURAL GAS
Viking Range, LLC recommends that only qualied professionals
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-
red equipment that will be connected to that line.
In no case should pipe less than 3/4” inside diameter or 1” out-
side 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 specic model outputs)
• A gas shut-o valve must be installed in an easily accessible
location by a qualied plumber.
• Keep threading compound o of the rst two pipe threads to
avoid having any small pieces of compound break loose and
clog a burner valve or orice. Do not use threading compound
on any are ttings.
For built-in installations, it is recommended that any exible
pipe used be kept as short as possible. (See INDEX: “Gas Connec-
tions”for typical permanent hook up.)

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 conrm 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 o 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 qualied 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 o the gas supply at the main valve.
• Disconnect all plumbing (if already attached) from the grill and
the gas supply valve.
• Remove all the ttings 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 o the gas supply at the main valve.
• Disconnect all plumbing (if already attached) from the grill and
the gas supply valve.
• Remove all the ttings 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 qualied
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, rst 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 out-
door 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 o
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.
• Conrm that all control knobs are in the o position.
• Turn on the fuel supply. For natural gas, turn the valve handle
1/4 turn to align with the gas ow.
• 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 ttings.
• If bubbles appear to “grow”on any of the connections, you
have a gas leak. IMMEDIATELY turn o the gas supply.
Fixing a Gas Leak:
• Shut o 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 o the soapy solution with cold water and dry.
• Tighten the loose joint, or replace the faulty part with manu-
facturer-recommended replacement parts.
• DO NOT attempt to repair the L.P. cylinder valve if it is dam-
aged. 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 aect 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 ames while adjusting
the burners.
• Light the burner and allow it to preheat on high for 3 minutes.
• Turn the burner to“LOW”.
• Pull o the control knob.
• While holding the valve shaft with pliers as shown insert a
small at screwdriver into the center shaft and adjust the
ame’s low setting.
Clockwise will lower the ame setting, counterclockwise will
raise it.
The proper setting is where the ame is stable at its lowest set-
ting. A slight utter 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 ame adjustment is not available for the
rotisserie valve.
To prevent re or explosion hazard, DO NOT smoke or
allow any potential source of ignition (sparks, electri-
cal arcing, etc) in the area while performing a leak
test. Leak tests should be conducted outdoors only.
Never conduct a leak test using re or ame.
DANGER!
