BEFORE GRILLING
SHIPMENT ARRIVING DAMAGED:
IMPORTANT NOTES:
VISIBLE DAMAGE
If your shipment arrives with visible damage to
the box/carton, be sure the damage is noted on
the bill of freight or express receipt and signed
by the person making the delivery. File claim for
damages immediately, regardless of the extent of
damage.
BE MINDFUL OF WIND DIRECTION
When selecting a suitable location, consider
important factors such as exposure to the
wind and foot traffic paerns. If you have a
freestanding grill, position it so the prevailing
wind blows into the front control panel (at your
back when grilling), allowing for proper front to
rear airflow. Built-in grills located in areas with
prevailing winds should be protected by a wind
barrier, wind deflector, or wind guard. The grill is
designed to pull in air from the front and exhaust
through the rear of the unit. Winds hiing the
back of the grill directly may cause problems. Be
sure wind doesn’t blow into the hood gap.
CONCEALED DAMAGES
If damages are unnoticed until the grill is
unpacked, notify the transportation company or
carrier immediately and file a concealed damage
claim with them. This should be done within (5)
days of the delivery date. Be sure to hold on to
the box/carton for inspection. We cannot assume
responsibility for damage or loss incurred in
transit.
GAS LINE LENGTH
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible. Gas
lines lose pressure over distance and with each
elbow or “t” fiing added. This drop in pressure
affects grill performance.
PROPER LEVELING
PROPER LEVELING DURING INSTALLATION
IS CRITICAL. A GRILL THAT IS OUT OF LEVEL
WILL CAUSE ERRATIC BURNER COMBUSTION
AND INEFFICIENT, UNEVEN HEATING. THE
GRILL SHOULD BE LEVEL IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
ADJUSTMENTS MAY NEED TO BE MADE EACH TIME
WHEN MOVING A FREESTANDING UNIT.
CONSTRUCTION ZONES
Keep all stainless steel products away from
construction zones. Construction debris such as
(but not limited to) stone dust, stucco, and lime
dust could damage or permanently discolor
stainless steel products. Keep all caustic chemicals
including chlorine and pool cleaning products
away from stainless steel at all times.
TESTING FOR LEAKS
Create a soapy water 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 ¼ turn to align
with the gas flow. For LP, turn the cylinder valve
counter clockwise one full rotation. Apply the
soap solution generously by paint brush or squirt
bole on all connections and fiings. If bubble
appear to grow on any of the connections, you
have a gas leak. IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas
supply. 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 aempt to repair the
L.P. cylinder valve if it is damaged. The only way
to safely resolve a damaged cylinder is to replace
it by calling an authorized gas appliance service
technician or an LP gas dealer. Repeat the leak
test to ensure that no leaks are present. Do not
use the appliance until the leak is corrected.

MATERIAL IS BEING USED, A SUMMERSET GRILL
LINER IS REQUIRED.
NOTE:
For the minimum clearances between the grill
and any side or rear walls, your setup must fall
within one (or more) of the following:
Clearance between grill and protected
combustible wall (i.e. a non-combustible
wall in front of a combustible wall to serve as a
barrier. This can be accomplished by brick or
a metal stud finished with non-combustible
substrate. Clearance Fig. 2). The grill must have
a minimum of 14” right, le and rear clearance
from the protected combustible wall. (The 4”

GAS REQUIREMENTS
LP gas grill models are designed for use with a
standard 20 lb. liquid propane gas (LP) tank with
type (1) valve connections. (Not included)
Never connect your gas grill to an LP tank that
exceeds this capacity. A tank of approximately
12 inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches high is the
maximum size LP gas tank to use. A propane tank
with an OPD (Overfill Prevention Device) must be
used. This safety feature prevents the tank from
being over-filled which can cause malfunction of
the LP gas tank, regulator and/or grill.
The LP cylinder must be constructed and
marked in accordance with the specifications
for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) and designed for use with
a Type 1 system only. Be sure to read and follow all
LP connection instructions.
A dented or rusty LP cylinder may be hazardous
and should be avoided. If in doubt, have it
checked by your LP supplier. Always check
for leaks aer every LP cylinder change. (See
Checking For Leaks)
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-
ventilated area out of the reach of children. If
your grill is stored indoors, the LP cylinder must
be stored outside, in upright position and away
from excessive heat.
CONNECTING TO A SIDE BURNER
You will need a ‘T’ adapter fiing (not provided)
or similar connection to connect a single gas line
to both a side burner and a grill. We recommend
a licensed gas technician install all gas lines. See
below figure for installation of a ‘T’ adapter.
IMPORTANT

MAINTENANCE TIPS
PREHEATING THE GRILL
Pre-heating your grill every time you use it is
extremely important. Pre-heating allows the
briquees to properly heat up, providing more
even and more consistent cooking results. Pre-
heat your grill by igniting all main burners. Then
close the hood and allow the grill to heat for 10
to 15 minutes, the hood thermometer should
reach approximately 450°. Once you’ve reached
your desired pre-heat temperature, turn off the
burners that you won’t be using to cook your food.
Remember, surface temperature can be up to
200° higher.
SHUT OFF INSTRUCTIONS
1. To shut off the unit, depress each valve
control knob and while pressing turn
clockwise to the “OFF” position.
2. Always close the valve from the gas supply
aer each use of the unit.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
NOTE: When using a portable propane tank:
Propane tanks are equipped with a safety
shutdown device that may cause low or no gas
pressure/flame at the burners if operating and
lighting instructions are not followed exactly.
The drip tray should be cleaned aer each use.
Aer the grill is completely cool, remove the drip
tray by pulling it out until it stops, then liing the
front edge until the drip tray comes free. Clean
it with hot soapy water or an oven-style cleaning
product and re-install. When using an oven-
style cleaning product be sure to carefully follow
the manufacturer’s instructions. Many of these
cleaners are toxic and can damage the stainless-
steel finish if not used properly. Also, check the
tray aer rain. If you’ve le the grill uncovered,
you may need to remove the drip tray to drain the
water from the tray.

STAINLESS STEEL NEEDS TO BE CLEANED?!?
ABSOLUTELY!
Stainless steels need to be cleaned for aesthetic
considerations and to preserve corrosion
resistance. Stainless steel is protected from
corrosion by a thin layer of chromium oxide.
Oxygen from the atmosphere combines with
the chromium in the stainless steel to form this
passive chromium oxide film that protects from
further corrosion. Any contamination of the
surface by dirt, or other material, hinders
this passivation process and traps corrosive
agents reducing corrosion protection. Thus,
routine cleaning is necessary to preserve the
appearance and integrity of the surface.
• To Adjust the Burner to a Low Seing:
• 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
• Use a flat head screw driver and adjust the
“gold flathead screw” in the valve to the
proper flame height

STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE
When removing stubborn stains:
• Do not use metallic abrasives and always
rub in the direction of the grain
• Some household cleaning products are
not suitable for stainless steel; be sure to
read the label before using on the grill
• Always use the mildest cleaning solution
first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain
• Specks of grease may gather in the grain
of the stainless steel and bake on to the
surface, giving the appearance of rust
• To remove these baked-on foods use a fine
to medium grit non-metallic abrasive pad
(Scotch Brite is good) in conjunction with a
stainless-steel cleaner
• Solutions used for cleaning concrete and
masonry can be very corrosive and will
‘aack’ stainless steel
• Be sure your Summerset products are well
protected before using these products
Aer each use wipe down the exterior of the grill to
remove grease and splaers. Use a commercially
available stainless-steel cleaner to clean and
polish the exterior surfaces. Doing these things
• Burn off excess food debris and marinades
for 15 minutes aer cooking
• Once the unit is cool, turn over the burner
covers and burn the top side (the burner
covers are reversible and are able to
be mounted upside down for cleaning
purposes)
• Use an approved stainless-steel oven
cleaner to remove grease build up
• Routinely have a professional barbecue
cleaning company detail the barbecue for
best results and longevity

IMPORTANT NOTE: FOR LOCATIONS NEAR
COASTAL AREAS AND POOLS
#304 stainless steel materials used in the
construction of your Summerset Professional Grill
are highly rust resistant, however, chlorine in the
air from swimming pools or the salt from sea air
may cause surface rust to appear and even create
some piing if le on the product. Here are a few
tips to avoid this:
• Regularly wipe down the exterior surfaces
with a damp cloth (micro fiber towels work
well)
• Allow the surfaces to dry before installing
the cover Do not cover a damp grill
• In extreme environments apply a rust
inhibitor which leaves a microscopic
protective layer on the grill
• For seasonal storage use the product
referred to above, ensure the grill is
dry, then cover and secure the cover to
minimize the amount of damp air geing
to the surfaces
on a regular basis minimizes the amount of effort
required
Aer your first use, certain areas of the grill may
discolor from the intense heat given off by the
burners - this is normal and cannot be cleaned
off. For light and heavy food stains there are many
different stainless-steel cleaners available.
