INSTALLATION

LOCATING OUTDOOR APPLIANCE/BUILT-IN CLEARANCES

LOCATION:

When determining a suitable location, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind (If located in a windy area, a wind break must be provided to prevent poor burner performance or product damage.), proximity to traf- fic paths and keeping any gas or electrical supply lines as short as possible. Locate the outdoor appliance only in a well ventilated area. Do not install the outdoor appliance under overhead unprotected combustible construc- tion. Never locate the outdoor appliance in a building, garage, breezeway, shed, gazebo, lanai or other such enclosed areas without an approved ventilation system. During heavy use, the outdoor appliance will produce a lot of smoke and flames. Ensure there is adequate area for it to dissipate.

Important!

Gas fittings, regulator, and installer supplied shut-off valves must be used and easily accessible.

Clearances to Combustible* Construction (see definition on page 9):

A minimum of 12” from the sides and a minimum of 12” from the back must be maintained from the outdoor ap- pliance above the cooking surface to adjacent vertical combustible* construction. (Fig. 01) Do not install under unprotected combustible* construction.

Important!

All outdoor appliances must have an insulated jacket to combustible island construction.

Clearances to Noncombustible** Construction (see definition on page 9):

A minimum of 3” clearance from the back of the outdoor appliance to noncombustible** construction is required. It is desirable to allow at least 6” side clearance to noncombustible** construction above the cooking surface or counter space. The outdoor appliance can be placed directly adjacent to noncombustible** construction below the cooking surface.

WARNING!

Failure to maintain required clearances creates a fire hazard that may result in property damage or serious personal injury.

WARNING!

If a Noncombustible** material such as metal is covering a combustible material such as wood, the minimum clear- ance distance needs to be held to the wood. The presence of a Noncombustible** material inside the clearance zone does not eliminate the minimum clearance zone to combustible material.
