INSTALLATION & SETUP
PLANNING THE LOCATION OF YOUR POST GRILL
IN-GROUND PROCEDURE
Read instructions carefully
all the way through before
beginning the installation.
1. Dig a hole for the post and
extension approximately
18" deep and 10-12" in
diameter.
Note: The actual depth of
the hole should be
such that the cooking
surface is 34-45"
above ground level.
2. Pour the concrete into the
hole approximately 3-5"
below ground level.
3. While the concrete is still wet, carefully lower the grill
post and attached extension into the hole.
4. Orient the grill per plan, then level the grill and
support it so that it remains in position while the
concrete dries.
This grill is designed FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
DO NOT use this unit under unprotected fl ammable surfaces. DO NOT use this appliance inside a
building, garage, or any other enclosed area. It must not be used in or on recreational vehicles or boats.
Important: This unit is NOT insulated, and therefore during use it must be located with a minimum of 18" of
side and back clearance from unprotected combustible materials such as wood, plastic, or stucco
with wood framing.
THIS UNIT SHOULD NOT BE LOCAED IN A FULLY ENCLOSED AREA OF ANY KIND.
CAUTION: Metal edges are sharp; use adequate
hand protection such as gloves when
assembling and confi guring the grill.
Carefully unpack your grill and check the parts.
SECURING THE PATIO MOUNT GRILL
Important: BEFORE USE, the patio mount base must
be securely fastened to a stable, level
surface to ensure the grill remains fi xed
and upright at all times.
Locate the patio mount base in the planned grill
location and mark the 4 holes. Drill the marked holes
to a
1
/
2
" diameter x 1
1
/
2
" depth. Insert the lag shields
(see PARTS LIST) into the holes, being sure that they
are fl ush with the ground.
Align the holes on the patio mount base over the lag
shields in the ground. Secure the base with the lag
screws (see PARTS LIST) using a
7
/
16
" nut driver.
ATTACHING THE IN-GROUND POST
EXTENSION
1.
Attach the extension to the bottom of the grill post so
that the open portion is toward the back of the grill and
the fi ve (5) holes in the extension line up with the fi ve
(5) weld-nuts in the post.
2. From outside the joined post
and extension, insert one of the
1
/
4
x 20-
5
/
8
" bolts (supplied)
into each of the fi ve (5) bolt
holes and tighten each using a
7
/
16
" socket driver or wrench
(see Fig. 3-1).
Note: There is one (1) hole on
each side of the post,
except the back, which
has two (2) holes located on either side of the
extension opening.

INSTALLATION & SETUP (cont.)
ASSEMBLY
1. Locate the crank handle (Fig. 4-1) packed inside the grill
enclosure.
2. Insert the threaded end of the crank handle through the hole
on the right of the grill face and into the nut on the frame as
shown.
3. Center the crank on the nut and begin cranking in a clockwise
direction until the threads have properly caught hold.
4. Close the door in the front panel and continue cranking until
the lifter begins to move upward inside the grill.
Note: The access door must be closed for the crank to raise
the lifter to the highest position.
5. Place both cooking grids with cut-outs toward the front as
shown in Fig. 4-2.
6. Install both shelves as indicated below.
RIGID SHELF ASSEMBLY
This grill comes with two (2) rigid shelves that must be
attached. These can be attached using the four (4) support
screws provided and a long Phillips-head screwdriver.
1. Hold the shelf inverted so that one of the corner holes
in the shelf lines up with the appropriate upper screw
hole in the grill.
2. Insert the screw (but do not tighten all the way) so that
the shelf can be easily rotated around the fi rst screw.
3. Line up the second corner hole in the shelf with the
remaining upper screw hole in the grill. Insert a screw
and tighten.
Note: You may lift the edge of the shelf upward to gain
better access during much of the tightening of this
screw.
4. Finally, insert the bottom screws on the left and right
side of the shelf and securely tighten all screws.
Detaching is the reverse process of above.
WARMING RACK (if equipped)
The warming rack (Fig. 4-4) is packed separately. To install the
warming rack, carefully insert the rack hangers into the two holes
in the back of the inner oven hood, then lower the front of the
rack to a level position.
To remove the warming rack, lift up on the front of the rack until
the rack hangers pull free from their supporting holes.

CHARCOAL SHIELD (if equipped)
The charcoal shield allows meat drippings to drip down to the
drip tray without affecting the charcoal.
Place it over the coals (and beneath the cooking grids) as
shown in Fig. 5-1.
The shield may also be used for smoking or indirect cooking
methods. Simply set up as shown (using wood chips if desired),
toward one side of the grill. Place the food on the opposite side
of the grill.
AIR SHUTTERS (Smoker hoods only)
CAUTION: The air shutters become very hot when the grill
is in use. Use a tool or heat-insulated glove to
adjust the air shutters.
The air shutters (Fig. 5-2) on both sides of the smoker oven
can be used to regulate the fl ow of air to the coals when the
oven is closed.
OPERATION
Simple to use, this elegant stainless-steel charcoal grill has the added benefi t of an adjustable charcoal
pan to allow you to change the height of the charcoal while cooking, and gives you the ability to add
fuel without having to remove the cooking grids. This enables the outdoor chef to be in complete control
of the cooking heat at the grilling surface.
USING YOUR CHARCOAL GRILL
1. Remove the cooking grids and pile your charcoal on the charcoal pan(s). Avoid spillage.
WARNING: When adding charcoal, spread it across the charcoal pan evenly and DO NOT exceed a
height of 1" above the charcoal pan.
Excessive amounts of charcoal may cause over heating and damage to your grill.
2. Follow the instructions supplied with your charcoal/fuel for lighting.
3. Use the access door to add or spread out your coals while cooking.
CAUTION: Use long-handled insulated barbecuing tools to prevent burns from hot metal or coals.
4. Turning the crank handle raises or lowers the pan to increase or decrease the grilling heat as you
desire.

APPLIANCE MUST BE COMPLETELY COOL WHEN CLEANING. DO NOT
SPRAY ANY CLEANER OR LIQUIDS ON THE APPLIANCE WHEN HOT.
The appliance MUST be cleaned as instructed below to prevent grease
build-up and other food deposits.
A clean and well maintained appliance prevents the risk of grease/fat fi res.
See section.
COOKING GRIDS
Before and after each use, clean the cooking grids with a grill brush. Before initial
use and periodically, it is suggested that the cooking grids be washed with a mild
soap and warm water solution.
INTERIOR
Empty the charcoal drip tray and screen of all ash and drippings after each use.
Clean the charcoal screen, pan, and the interior of the grill with a water and mild
soap solution.
The inside of the appliance may be cleaned periodically with oven cleaner if desired. Follow the oven cleaner instructions
for proper use.
Be careful not to get oven cleaner on the outside surface of the appliance as it can permanently damage the fi nish.
EXTERIOR
Stainless steel surfaces when exposed to temperatures produced by the grilling process will change color. The stainless steel
will change color from silver to brown and blue. This can be removed by using stainless steel cleaner.
Clean your appliance by fi rst using stainless steel grill cleaner to remove grease and dirt. Always wipe with the grain (See
Fig. 7-1). Next, apply stainless steel polish and wipe down using polish wipes to restore the stainless steel color.
If your appliance is installed in a seaside (salt air) or poolside (chlorine) location, it will be more susceptible to corrosion and
must be maintained/cleaned more frequently. Do not store chemicals (such as chlorine or fertilizer) near your stainless steel
appliance.
Due to the nature of stainless steel, surface iron oxide deposits may appear. Do not be alarmed – these deposits are removable
with stainless steel cleaner through prompt and periodic maintenance. If not attended to promptly, permanent pitting may occur.
By following these recommendations, you will enjoy the beauty and convenience of your appliance for many years to come.
DRIP TRAY
After each use, wait for the grill to cool and carefully pull out the charcoal drip tray to check it.
When nearing full, carefully pull out the drip tray, lifting with both hands to keep the tray level
until it is safely discarded.
Note: The charcoal drip tray has a heatshield to protect from over heating. It may be necessary
to remove the heatshield to properly clean out the charcoal drip tray. When reinstalling,
the heatshield dimples must face downward as shown in Fig. 7-5.
PROTECTING YOUR APPLIANCE FROM THE WEATHER
An optional cover will protect your appliance when not in use. Allow to cool before covering. Please specify the model number
and serial number of your appliance when ordering a cover.
