INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

This gas appliance, its enclosure, and the propane cylinder enclosure, if any, MUST be plumbed and vented

in accordance with local building and safety codes and should be approved by local code enforcement

ofﬁcials. This appliance MUST be installed and operated according to the information below.

FAILURE TO PROPERLY VENT THE GRILL ENCLOSURE MAY RESULT IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING

PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR DEATH.

A leaking gas connection or valve unintentionally left open will create a hazard.

WHEN USING PROPANE GAS

• Propane gas (also known as L.P. gas) is heavier than air and will accumulate or pool in an inadequately

vented enclosure or recessed area.

• If a pool of propane gas is ignited, an explosion will occur. Adequate venting at the ﬂoor level, or the lowest

point where gas could accumulate, will eliminate this danger.

Refer to the GRILL ENCLOSURE / VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS section.

Observe all local codes.

• DO NOT store a spare propane-gas cylinder under or near the grill enclosure.

WHEN USING NATURAL GAS

• Natural gas is lighter than air and will accumulate at the top of an inadequately vented enclosure.

• If an accumulation of natural gas is ignited, an explosion will occur. Adequate venting at the top of the

enclosure, or the highest point where gas could accumulate, will eliminate this danger.

Refer to the GRILL ENCLOSURE / VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS section.

Observe all local codes.

SIDE AND REAR WALL CLEARANCES

For the minimum clearances between the unit and any side

or rear walls, your setup must fall within one (or more) of the

following:

A. Clearance between unit and strictly non-combustible

wall

(i.e. brick wall, see Fig. 11-1)

• The unit must have a minimum of 4" right, left, and rear

clearance from any non-combustible wall.

(To allow for proper ventilation and prevent dangerous

overheating.)

B. Clearance between unit and a 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,

see Fig. 11-2)

• The unit must have a minimum of 14" right, left, and

COMBUSTION AIR AND COOLING AIRFLOW

Proper airﬂow (front-to-back, Fig. 12-1) MUST be maintained

for the unit to perform as it was designed. If airﬂow is blocked,

overheating and poor combustion will result. Do not block the

1" front air inlet along the bottom of the control panel.

CAUTION: Wind blowing into or across the rear oven lid

vent (Fig. 12-3) can cause poor performance

and/or dangerous overheating. Install the grill

so that the prevailing wind blows toward the

front of the grill (Fig. 12-2). A wind deﬂector

is available for purchase to assist in proper

airﬂow during windy conditions . See Table

1 for model numbers. Follow the instructions

inlcuded with the wind deﬂector for installation.

GAS-SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

For natural gas or a household propane system, rigid

" or

" black steel pipe or local code-approved pipe is required

to conduct the gas supply to the unit. Contact your local gas

supplier. Connect this pipe to the required C.S.A.-approved

stainless-steel ﬂex connector (attached). An NPT adapter

has been provided for

" pipe. DO NOT use a rubber hose

within the unit enclosure. Apply only joint compounds that

are resistant to all gasses to all male pipe ﬁttings except ﬂare

ﬁttings. Make sure to tighten every joint securely.

Note: If

" pipe is used with natural gas, it should be

no longer than 20'.

Important: A shut-off valve (not included) in the gas

line is required. It provides for safety when

the unit is not in use and for convenient

maintenance and repair. It must be installed

within 6 feet of the unit. Use a pipe joint

compound resistant to all gasses on all male

ﬁttings except ﬂare ﬁttings.

It is not required to remove the control panel or knobs

to install this unit.

DO NOT lift the unit from the control panel when

installing.

COUNTER PREPARATION

Consult Table 3 for non-combustible enclosure cut-out

dimensions. An AOG insulating liner must be used if

any supporting construction is combustible. Consult the

instructions that come with the liner for dimensions and

additional installation information before beginning the

installation.

This outdoor built-in grill must be supported by the

stainless-steel hanger extending from the upper portion

of the grill. The hanger rests on the left, right, and back

of the countertop.

The control panel is designed to sit ﬂush against the

enclosure front wall (see Fig. 19-1). If the non-combustible

countertop extends beyond the front wall, creating a

countertop overhang (see Fig. 19-2), it must be cut ﬂush

with the front wall for the width of the control panel or

a gap will be created exposing the forward portions of

the left and right side grill ﬁre walls. See the MODEL

SPECIFICATIONS section.

CONNECT THE GAS SUPPLY

Always ensure the oriﬁces and regulator are set for

the gas type your unit is to be installed to.

For propane cylinders:

For connecting a propane unit to a portable propane tank,

read the safety warnings and follow the instructions in the

section SAFE USE AND MAINTENANCE OF PROPANE

GAS CYLINDERS.

Note: When a propane cylinder is installed inside

of the enclosure, the guidelines found in

the GRILL ENCLOSURE / VENTILATION

REQUIREMENTS section MUST be followed.

For household propane or natural gas units:

THE ATTACHED FLEX LINE AND REGULATOR MUST

BE PROPERLY ATTACHED TO A RIGID GAS SUPPLY

PIPE . See diagram on next page.

CAUTION: Use only C.S.A. listed stainless-steel ﬂex

connectors within the enclosure.

INSTALLATION

CONNECT THE GAS SUPPLY (cont.)

1. Route the attached ﬂex connector with regulator

(located underneath the grill) to the gas-supply

stub. (An adapter is required if the gas-supply stub

is other than

" in diameter.)

2. Turn OFF the gas supply at the source. Then

connect the regulator to the gas-supply stub. Use

pipe joint compound that is resistant to all gasses

on the male pipe ﬁtting and tighten securely. DO

NOT use pipe joint compound to connect ﬂare

ﬁttings.

Note: The regulator may need to be disconnected

from the ﬂex connector to make the proper

connections. Reconnect the ﬂex to the

regulator if removed.

3. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position.

Turn the gas supply on. Then carefully check all gas

connections for leaks with a brush and half-soap/

half-water solution before lighting. Never use a

match or open ﬂame to test for leaks.

4. Close the shut-off valve, then slide the grill into place.

Do not to pinch, kink, or damage the gas connector

line.

INSTALL THE VAPORIZER PANELS

Place the vaporizer panels directly onto the studs on the

burners. See Fig. 20-2. The panels allow heat from the

burners to be evenly distributed throughout the cooking

area. The panels are stainless steel and will heat and cool

quickly, making your grill very responsive to the changes

you specify in grill temperature. They are rust resistant

and may be cleaned with standard oven cleaners. Some

discoloring will be seen with use. This is normal for

stainless steel and does not affect the function.

Your grill requires regular cleaning and maintenance. Refer to these instructions for details. Performing these procedures

will ensure proper operation, appearance, and safety.

WARNINGS

• Prior to servicing or cleaning make sure the unit is completely cool, the control knobs are turned to the OFF position,

and the gas supply is shut off.

• Wear appropriate gloves and safety glasses during any servicing or cleaning.

• DO NOT spray any cleaner or liquids on the grill when hot.

• The grill MUST be cleaned regularly to prevent grease build-up and other food deposits. A clean and well maintained

grill prevents the risk of grease build-up and grease ﬁres.

• Verify proper operation after servicing or deep cleaning.

• See INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND SAFETY INFORMATION section for additional related information.

CLEANING YOUR GRILL

Before Each Use

1. Inspect and clean the exterior surfaces of the unit: With a cool grill, clean any dust, grease, splatter, or spills as needed

with a damp clean cloth.

After Each Use

1. Perform a burn-off and clean the cooking grids: Operate the grill on high with the hood closed for 15 minutes to burn-

off food and grease and allow for an easier cooking grid clean. Then turn OFF the grill and use a grill brush to clean

the cooking grids of all residue. Wear protective gloves and use caution around hot surfaces.

2. Check and clean your drip tray: When the grill is cool, carefully remove the drip tray and dispose of contents appropriately.

Clean tray in a soapy water solution if needed. For tough deposits, a copper pad can be used. Rinse and dry completely.

3. Cover your grill: Once the grill is dry and cool, cover your grill with a vinyl cover.

Twice A Year (or as needed) - Deep Clean

1. Interior of grill: In addition to cleaning the cooking grids and drip tray, a deep clean of the interior of

the grill, burners, and all components MUST be performed twice year (or as needed depending on

use). Refer to the CARE, CLEANING, & MAINTENANCE GUIDE manual provided with your grill, or

simply scan the QR code on the right.

Important: The burner ports and carry-over ports/slots MUST be kept clean to ensure proper ignition

and operation. The guide provides all details on cleaning.

2. Exterior of grill: With a cool grill, use a grill cleaner (or a soapy water solution) and a clean cloth

to remove grease and dirt from the outside of the grill. For tough deposits, a

copper pad can be used. Always wipe with the grain. Rinse and dry completely.

Then follow up with a stainless steel cleaner and a clean cloth. DO NOT use

other cleaners or chemicals.

If this routine cleaning is not performed, the stainless steel may become

dull and develop surface rust (due to use and atmospheric conditions). If left

uncleaned, signiﬁcant damage and pitting may occur.

Important: DO NOT use steel wool, any other metal tools, or any other

cleaners/chemicals to clean the exterior other than recommended

above. Such items promote rust.

Note: Due to the nature of stainless steel, temperatures produced by the grilling process will cause discoloration. This

can be reduced by routine cleaning.

SERVICING AND CLEANING

For Environments High In Salt, Chloride, Or Other Corrosive Chemicals

When this grill is installed in a corrosive environment such as near the ocean (salt air), poolside (chlorine and/or

pool chemicals) or any other location with exposure to high salt/chloride content or corrosive chemicals/solutions,

it will be more susceptible to corrosion and MUST be maintained/cleaned more frequently.

• DO NOT store any corrosive chemicals (chlorine, hydrochloric acid, fertilizer, etc.) near your stainless steel grill.

• DO NOT allow any corrosive materials (masonry dust, debris, etc.) to settle on your stainless steel grill.

• These environments, chemicals, and materials may cause the 304 stainless steel to develop surface rust and

consequently pitting. Under these conditions the grill exterior MUST be cleaned at least monthly. Inspect your grill

often and clean accordingly.

Protecting Your Grill

An optional vinyl cover will protect your grill when not in use. Install the cover on a cool and dry grill. DO NOT cover a damp

grill. During high humidity or after rainy conditions, remove the cover to dry trapped moisture if present. (If the cover is

installed over a damp grill it can cause surface rust.)

Ensure that the INSIDE of the cover is DRY before putting it back on the grill.
