INSTALLATION
Locating Grill/Built-in Clearances
IMPORTANT!
Tools required: Phillips screwdriver.
Before installation, remove shipping brackets from the grill.
To do so, loosen the four screws on the bottom sides of the
grill which hold the brackets to the grill. Slide the shipping
brackets off and retighten the screws.
Remove all internal packaging and adhesive residue.
To remove stubborn residue, use rubbing alcohol or a
commercially available adhesive remover.
Packing elements should not be left around within easy
reach of children, as these may cause serious injuries.
Location
When determining a suitable location take into account concerns such as exposure to wind,
proximity to traffic paths and keeping any gas or electrical supply lines as short as possible and
away from heat sources. Locate the grill only in a well ventilated area. Do not build the grill under
overhead unprotected combustible construction. Never locate the grill in a building, garage,
breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas. See following page for definition and illustration
of outdoor areas. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of heat and smoke. Ensure there is
adequate area for it to dissipate.
If locating the grill in a windy area, try to locate the grill so the prevailing wind will blow air at the
front of the grill as shown in Fig. 01a. This will assist the grill in venting hot air through the back of
the grill. In addition, this will help keep any smoke from blowing at someone who is cooking on the
grill. If you have to locate the grill in a windy area where the prevailing wind is at the rear of the
grill, a windbreak must be installed. The windbreak should be made such that it will block wind from
entering the exhaust vent in the rear of the unit as shown in Fig. 01c. Location of the windbreak
relative to rear of the grill must adhere to the clearances specified for combustible or non-
combustible construction as defined in these instructions. Refer to following pages.
As a high-performance gas appliance, your grill requires significant amounts of air to support the
combustion process. Your grill is designed to take air in through the valve panel area, and send the
exhaust products out through the exhaust gap at the rear of the hood. Using your grill in windy
conditions can disrupt the proper flow of air though your grill, leading to reduced performance, or in
certain severe cases, causing heat buildup in the valve panel area. This can lead to problems such as
having the knobs melt, or burn hazards when the valve panel surfaces become too hot to touch.
During high wind conditions, it is best if you don’t use your grill. If you live in an area that is subject
to frequent high winds, or a steady directional wind, then the installation of a suitable windbreak may
be advised. If you have a grilling cart, it is best to position the unit so the prevailing wind blows into
the valve panel, thus supporting the proper airflow. Winds hitting the back of the grill directly are
the most likely to cause problems, although wind blowing along the exhaust gap in the rear can also
be problematic.
Please note that damage to your grill resulting from use in windy conditions, such as melted knobs or
igniter wires, or valve panel discoloration from heat build-up, are excluded from warranty coverage.
