grill cabinet or in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Do not store propane cylinders indoors or on their

sides.

• Children should never be left alone or unattended in an area where a grill is located. Place your grill well away from

areas where children play. Do not store items that may interest children in or around the grill, in the cart, or in the

masonry enclosure.

• Never move the grill when hot. When in use, portions of the grill are hot enough to cause severe burns.

• Always maintain the required clearances from combustibles as detailed. The grill is designed for outdoor use only.

Never use in a garage, building, shed, breezeway, or other enclosed area. Do not use this grill under any unprotect-

ed overhead combustible construction.

• Gas grills are not designed or certied for and are not to be installed in or on recreational vehicles, portable trailers,

boats or any other moving installation.

• Always have an ABC Fire Extinguisher accessible — never attempt to extinguish a grease re with water or other

liquids.

• Storing your grill: Store your grill in a well-ventilated area. If stored indoors, detach and leave L.P. cylinder outdoors

in a well-ventilated area away from heat and away from where children may tamper with it.

• Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces. Electrical cords should be

placed away from walkways to avoid tripping hazard.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless specically recommended in this manual. Other service should

be performed by a qualied technician.

• If the grill is installed by a professional installer or technician, be sure that he/she shows you where your gas supply

shut-o is located. All gas lines must have a shut-o that is readily and easily accessible. If you smell gas, check for

gas leaks immediately. Check only with a soap and water solution. (See INDEX: “Leak Testing”for further details.)

Never check for gas leaks with an open ame.

• Inspect the L.P. gas supply hose prior to each use of the grill. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or

the hose is cut, it must be replaced before using the grill.

• Never remove the grounding prong from the plug or use this product with an ungrounded, 2-prong adapter.

THIS MANUAL MUST REMAIN WITH THE PRODUCT OWNER FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

INSTALLATION / USE & CARE |7

BUILTIN INSTALLATIONS

This built-in grill is designed for easy installation into masonry

enclosures.

NOTE: Built-in grills are intended either for installation in a

built-in enclosure constructed of non-combustible materials or

for an installation in a built in enclosure constructed of com-

bustible material when installed with a insulating jacket).

For non-combustible applications, the grill drops into the

opening shown in the cutout detail drawing (See INDEX:“Gas

Requirements”) and hangs from its counter-top trim. A deck is

not required to support it from the bottom.

When using the insulated jacket in a combustible enclosure,

the jacket must be supported from the bottom by a ledge on

each side or a full deck beneath the jacket.

(See INDEX: “Gas Requirements”) Pay special attention to the

provisions shown for gas line hook-up.

The enclosure should have ventilation holes to prevent gas

build-up in the event of a leak. The deck ledges and counter

should be at and level. (refer to ANSI Z21.58 Standard for Out-

door Cooking Gas Appliances, Section 1.7 Enclosures For Self

Contained LP-Gas Supply Systems)

This grill requires that a 120 volt, 60 hertz, 15 amp GFI certied

outlet be installed by a qualied electrician.

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS

Minimum clearance from the sides and back of the grill to adja-

cent combustible construction below the counter top surface

is 12”from the sides and 6 1/4”from the back of the hood.

Minimum clearance from sides and back of grill to adjacent

combustible construction extending above the counter top

surface is 12”from the sides and 6 1/4”from the back.

Do not use this appliance under unprotected overhead com-

bustible surfaces.

A minimum of 6”of clearance is needed on the left side of the

grill above the counter top for the motor and skewer.

If the grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure, an

approved insulated jacket is necessary and is available only

from your Viking Range, LLC dealer. Insulated jackets have

been designed and tested specically for your grill.

REAR HOOD CLEARANCE

A 3 inch clearance is required behind the grill to allow the front

hood to open.

The grill exhausts combustion products and cooking greases

to the back. Never locate the grill where this exhaust will be

dicult to clean.
