GE Monogram Professional Outdoor Grills and Cooktop guide

Installation Preparation

ADVANCE PLANNING

Built-In Monogram Outdoor Grills are designed for easy installation into a masonry, non-combustible enclosure. The grill drops into he opening and hangs from its side flanges.

•A deck is not required for support from the bottom.

•The cutout must be completely covered with non-combustible material such as stone, brick, ceramic tile, concrete board, etc. The counter surface and edges must be flat and level.

	Clearances:
	• A 4" minimum	4" Min.

Clearances to Combustible Materials:

•Allow at least a 12" clearance at the back of the grill when the exhaust is directed to a window or a surface that is difficult to clean.

•Allow 12" minimum clearance on both sides and the back of the grill to adjacent vertical combustible construction.

•These gas grills cannot be used below any type of overhead construction.

Accessories:

•ZX27AD Access Doors may be installed directly below a grill.

•ZX18DS Storage Drawers CANNOT be installed directly below a grill or cooktop.

•ZX18TC Trash Bin CANNOT be installed directly below a grill or cooktop.

Security:

Cart models are equipped with an anti-theft, stationary-mount security loop. This loop allows you to secure the grill to a structure. See page 19.

Cooktop Installation:

Both an LP or Natural gas cooktop can be installed in combination with a grill. The cooktop can be connected to the same LP tank as the grill.

•The cooktop can also be installed alone and be supplied by a separate LP tank. In this case, you must order a regulator hose assembly. Order WB21X10156 regulator hose assembly for a 20-lb. LP tank connection.

CHOOSING THE LOCATION

•These outdoor grills are designed for outdoor use only. Do not locate the grill in a building, garage or other enclosed or semi-enclosed area.

•Ensure that fresh air ventilation is adequate.

NEVER USE THE GRILL IN WINDY CONDITIONS. Wind hitting the grill while in use, especially winds blowing into or across this hood gap, can cause poor performance and in some cases can cause the control panel to get hot enough to cause burns.

Steady or gusty winds can prevent the normal exhaust of hot gases. Locate your grill away from prevailing winds and avoid grilling in windy conditions.

•Locate the grill where prevailing winds will blow into the front of the control panel.

•The minimum clearances to combustibles must be maintained at all times.

•Do not install an outdoor grill below overhead unprotected combustible construction.

•The location must be level and stable.
