Installation and Safety Guidelines for Coyote Grills
Pre-Installation Recommendations
• Record Product Information: Before installing a built-in grill, copy the product details,
including the model number, serial number, and fuel type (e.g., natural gas or LP). Store this
information in a safe place for future reference.
• Locate Gas Shut-Off: If the grill is installed by a professional, ensure they show you the
location of the gas supply shut-off valve. The valve must be readily and easily accessible.
• Check for Gas Leaks: If you smell gas, check for leaks using a soap and water solution. Never
inspect leaks with an open flame.
Notice: Professional installation of your Coyote Grill is highly recommended. These instructions provide
the necessary measurements for constructing a masonry structure to house your outdoor gas grill.
Location Requirements
• Outdoor Use Only: Always install the grill in a well-ventilated outdoor area. If placing the grill
in an enclosed space such as a garage, shed, or breezeway, ensure it is equipped with a
properly approved ventilation system.
• Smoke Ventilation: Choose a location where smoke can disperse quickly to avoid inhalation of
potentially harmful fumes.
Ventilation Requirements
Proper ventilation allows heat and gas to escape, ensuring safe and efficient operation. Failure to meet
ventilation requirements will void the Coyote warranty and pose a risk of injury or death.
1. Ventilation for Built-in Islands:
• Islands must have at least two vents (optimally four) per cabinet containing gas
connections.
• Each vent must be at least 20 sq. inches in size and open to outside air.
• Propane grills: Place vents at or below the height of the tank valve, as propane is
heavier than air.
• Natural gas grills: Place vents at or above the gas connection height, as natural
gas is lighter than air.
2. Wind Considerations:
• Select a location that accounts for typical wind conditions to prevent heat buildup
inside the grill or island.
• Wind can block exhaust and trap heat, causing control panels and knobs to overheat
and potentially damage components like ignition systems or rubber gaskets.
3. Optional Wind Guards:
Locating the Grill
Check
your local building codes for the proper method of installation. In the absence of local codes, this unit
should
be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code No. Z223.1-1998 USA or CAN/CGA-8149.1/.2
Natural
Gas/Propane Code (Canada) latest edition or the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 or the
Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1, 1990 or latest version.
10
•
Coyote Wind Guards can help divert wind over the grill, reducing overheating risks.
However, they are not guaranteed to solve ventilation issues in high-wind conditions.
These can be purchased from authorized dealers.
Clearance Requirements
1. From Non-Combustible Materials:
• If a wall or partition behind the grill blocks ventilation, we recommend maintaining a
minimum clearance of 7 inches from the back of the grill.
• A 2-inch minimum clearance behind the grill will allow the hood to open fully.
• Allow 6 inches of clearance on each grill side for the motor and spit handle to be used
in a rotisserie.
2. From Combustible Materials:
• Maintain at least 24 inches of clearance from combustible materials below the
countertop.
• Maintain at least 15 inches of clearance from combustible materials behind the grill
above the countertop.
• Never locate the grill under combustible structures unless an approved ventilation
hood is installed:
• The hood must be UL-certified, designed for outdoor Use, and installed per the
manufacturer’s specifications.
• It should be installed at least 30 inches above the cooking surface and be 6
inches wider than the grill frame (3 inches on each side).
3. Insulated Jackets:
• If the grill is within 24 inches of combustible materials below the countertop, an
appropriate Coyote insulated jacket must be used. Failure to use an insulated jacket
voids the warranty and compromises safety.
Built-in Installation
1. Masonry Installation:
• A built-in grill can be installed into masonry enclosures without a bottom deck to
support the grill. The weight of the grill body is supported by the countertop within the
cutout opening.
• Do not enclose the grill and block the ventilation around the grill's body.
• Ensure the countertop is flat and level relative to the floor.
• Install two or more vents, each at least 20 sq. inches in size, for proper ventilation:
• Propane grills: Position vents at or below tank valve height.
• Natural gas grills: Position vents at or above the gas connection.
2. LP Tank Storage:
• Store LP tanks in a separate, ventilated compartment with bottom vents for proper
airflow.
High-Elevation Use
• Coyote Grills are optimized for operation at 0-2000 feet above sea level elevations.
• Performance remains stable between 2000-4000 feet, though more gas combusts due to
reduced oxygen levels.
11
•
Cooking times above 4000 feet may increase due to air/fuel mixture changes. For questions
regarding high-elevation installation, contact Coyote Customer Support for guidance.
Key Safety Notes
• Proper ventilation is critical for safety and performance.
• Always adhere to clearance guidelines to prevent overheating and ensure warranty validity.
• Use Coyote-approved insulated jackets and ventilation hoods for combustible materials or
high-risk areas.

GENERAL RULES
NEVER leave the grill unattended while cooking!
• Ensure the grill has been leak-tested and is placed in a location with adequate ventilation and
proper clearance.
• Verify that each burner tube is correctly positioned over its corresponding valve orifice.
• Follow the manual’s instructions to ignite the grill burners safely.
• Adjust the heat settings to reach your desired cooking temperature.
• After cooking, allow the grill to cool, wipe away splatters or grease, and clean the drip tray.
• NEVER cover the grill while hot, which may pose a fire hazard.
First-Time Use: Burning Off Manufacturing Residue
Before cooking for the first time, operate your grill at the "HIGH" setting with the hood closed for no more
than 5 minutes. This will remove any residual odors or debris from the manufacturing and shipping process.
After this step, your grill is ready for cooking!
Understanding Your Grill's Valves, Burners
Your grill has safety valves that control gas flow to each burner. They are equipped with thermocouples, a
safety feature to prevent gas flow if the flame goes out. These components, located behind the control
knobs, are essential for setting your desired temperature, managing fuel consumption, and ensuring safe
operation.
• Important Reminder: If a control knob is left on while the burner is unlit, gas can leak through the
valve. Always double-check that all knobs are in the "OFF" position after using the grill to prevent
dangerous gas leaks. Proper use and care of the valves and thermocouples are critical for safe
grilling.
Operating the Grill
•
Failure to open the barbecue lid before igniting the burners or to wait at least 5 minutes
for gas to dissipate if the barbecue fails to light can lead to an explosive flare-up, posing a
serious risk of severe injury or death.
•
NEVER use the grill if you detect a gas odor.
•
NEVER stand with your head, body, or arms over the grill when igniting it.
•
ALWAYS inspect the gas hose before use. Replace it immediately if there are signs of excessive wear,
abrasion, or cuts. Use only the replacement hose assembly specified by the manufacturer.
•
ALWAYS keep the area around the barbecue free from flammable materials such as gasoline, yard
debris, or wood.
•
ALWAYS check that the airflow through the vent space beneath the grill is unobstructed to ensure
safe operation.
20
Lighting a grill burner with a safety valve equipped with a thermocouple involves a slightly different
process than lighting standard burners. The thermocouple is a safety feature attached to the valve,
ensuring the gas flow stops if the flame goes out.
Using the Grill's Built-In Ignition System
1. Select the Burner to Ignite:
• Locate the knob corresponding to the burner you wish to light.
• Depress and rotate the knob counterclockwise to the "High" position. As you turn
the knob, you will feel resistance as the spring inside the valve builds energy for the
igniter.
• Once you hear a "click," the igniter has sparked to light the burner.
2. Mind the Knob Rotation Speed:
• Turn the knob steadily—not too fast or too slow:
• Too fast: The gas may not reach the burner in time to meet the spark.
• Too slow: Excess gas can build up, potentially causing a large flash when it
ignites.
3. Hold the Knob to Heat the Thermocouple:
• Once the burner ignites, continue pressing the knob in the "High" position for 6-10
seconds.
• Pressing the knob allows the thermocouple to heat up and keep the gas valve open.
• If the flame goes out when you release the knob, the thermocouple may not be
sufficiently heated. Repeat the process.
4. If the Burner Fails to Ignite:
• Try lighting the burner again immediately, being cautious of gas buildup.
• If the burner does not light after three attempts, turn the knob to the "Off" position,
