LOCATING AND ASSEMBLING THE POWER BURNER
When determining a suitable location for your Power Burner, take into account concerns such as
exposure to wind, rain, sprinklers, proximity to traffic paths, and keeping any gas supply line runs as
short as possible.
Locate the Power Burner only in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the Power Burner in a building,
garage, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas without an approved ventilation system. Never
locate the Power Burner over, under, or next to unprotected combustible construction.
Using the Power Burner in windy areas can disrupt the flame, especially on low or simmer settings.
This may cause nuisance sparking of the igniters. Relocate to a less windy area. If the Power Burner
is mounted in an enclosure (island), you may need to build a wind-break to avoid this issue in the
future.
When installing a Power Burner or other gas appliance into an enclosure (island), the enclosure must
be constructed with ventilation openings to avoid accumulation of gas should there be a leak. See
the INSTALLATION section of this manual for details. Keep the area underneath the Power Burner
free of debris.
Ensure all packaging, straps, etc. have been
removed from the Power Burner. Remove any
tie-down wires from the burners.
Ensure that the burner cap is mounted correctly
on the center burner ring. Do not operate the
Power Burner without the burner cap in place
(see Fig. 1).

INSTALLATION
CLEARANCES:
TO NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION
A minimum of 6” [15 cm] clearance from the sides and back of the Power Burner to non-combustible
construction is required. This is especially important when cooking with large diameter pots.
TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION
This appliance must be installed in a NON-COMBUSTIBLE ENCLOSURE (ISLAND) ONLY. It
should NOT be installed on, over, or next to unprotected combustible construction. Do not use this
appliance under unprotected overhead combustible surfaces. The countertop, and everything under
the countertop must be of non-combustible materials. A minimum clearance to vertical combustible
material, such as adjacent walls, is 9” [23 cm] on the sides and the rear of the appliance.
The minimum vertical clearance to combustible materials means that ALL combustible materials
must be outside this 9” [23 cm] zone. As an example, if you have an island with a stucco or tiled
surface and wood-frame construction beneath, or wood-frame walls adjacent or behind, the wood is
considered combustible, even though the Power Burner is touching the stucco or tile surface, which
is non-combustible. In extreme circumstances, the wood could potentially get hot enough to burn.
Therefore, ALL the construction must be non-combustible. Adjacent walls above the cooking surface
should also be non-combustible. If those adjacent surfaces are made of combustible material, they
must be outside this 9” [23 cm] zone. The Power Burner has a very high output, and if installed in
a confined area with a large pot on top, the potential to heat up adjacent surfaces is dangerous and
could result in property damage.
