INSTALLATIONLOCATING GRILL/BUILT-IN CLEARANCESImportant!Before installation, remove shipping brackets from the grill. Todo so, loosen the 4 screws on the bottom sides of the grill whichhold the brackets to the grill. Slide the shipping brackets offand retighten the screws.LOCATION: FIG. 01When determining a suitable location take into account concernssuch as exposure to wind, proximity to traffic paths and keeping any gas or electrical supply lines as short aspossible and away from heat sources. Locate the grill only in a well ventilated area. Do not build the grill underoverhead unprotected combustible construction. Never locate the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed orother such enclosed areas. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of heat and smoke. Ensure there isadequate 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 thegrill as shown in Fig. 02. This will assist the grill in venting hot air thru the back of the grill. In addition, this willhelp keep any smoke from blowing at someone who is cooking on the grill. If you have to locate the grill in awindy area where the prevailing wind is at the rear of the grill, a windbreak must be installed. The windbreakshould be made such that it will block wind from entering the exhaust vent in the rear of the unit as shown inFig. 02.As high-performance gas appliance, your grill requires significant amounts of air to support the combustionprocess. Your grill is designed to take air in through the valve panel area, and send the exhaust products outthrough the exhaust gap at the rear of the hood. Using your grill in windy conditions can disrupt the proper flowof air though your grill, leading to reduced performance, or in certain severe cases, causing heat buildup in thevalve panel area. This can lead to problems such as having the knobs melt, or burn hazards when the valvepanel 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 frequenthigh winds, or a steady directional wind, then the installation of a suitable windbreak may be advised. If youhave a grilling cart, it is best to position the unit so the prevailing wind blows into the valve panel, thussupporting 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 igniterwires, or valve panel discoloration from heat build-up, are excluded from warranty coverage.GRILL PLACEMENTGRILL EXHAUST EXHAUST VENT FLOWWind hitting the _\NOgrill while in use, T"especially winds 15"rain.blowing into or /_-J across this hoodgap, can causepoor performance \_ \N_._ 1_..,and in some cases _ r_'iPREFERRED FLAME can cause the _,,___ /,_A,RFLOW controlpane,to ..÷/--_ get dangerously _X_hot. _x_/FIG. 02zIf wind is anissue, a windscreen shouldbe added.
