54 500 Series Grill

Specifications (54" 500 Series Grill)Dimensions (54" 500 Series Grill)

General Information A minimum of 6 (15.2 cm) from the sides,

or a minimum of 8 (20.3 cm) from the right side if there is a rotisserie motor and a minimum of 24 (61.0 cm) from the back must be maintained from the grill above the cooking surface to adjacent vertical combustible construction. The grill is not to be located under overhead unprotected combustible construction. NOTE: An insulated jacket (INJK- purchased separately) is required when installing either a 100 or 300 series grill in combustible type material.

Note that the grill exhausts combustion products and cooking greases to the back. NEVER locate the grill in a location where the exhaust is directed at a window, less than 24 (61.0 cm) to combustible material or any surface that is difficult to clean.

A minimum of 3 (7.6 cm) clearance from the back of the grill with a canopy and a minimum of 6 (15.2 cm) from the back of the grill without a canopy to non- combustible construction is required for the purpose of allowing the lid to open fully and for proper ventilation. It is desirable to allow at least 6 side clearance to non-combustible construction above the cooking surface for counter space. If using the rotisserie option, the space is essential for motor and skewer clearance. The grill can be placed directly adjacent to combustible and/or non- combustible construction below the cooking surface. However, clearances from non-combustible materials are not part of the ANSI Z21.58 scope and are not certified by CSA. Clearances to non- combustible materials must be approved by the authority having jurisdiction.

When determining a suitable location for the grill, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to traffic paths and keeping gas supply lines as short as possible. Locate the grill only in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the grill in a building, garage, shed or other such fully enclosed areas. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of smoke. Ensure there is adequate area for it to dissipate.

300 and 500 Series Grills: When using a rear wall, locate a 110/120

volt supply outlet on the bottom left hand side beneath the solid bottom support at a maximum distance of 2 feet. This connection is to be used for the ignition system and canopy lights. In addition, the rotisserie motor requires a separate 110/120 volt supply to be located on the right hand side of the grill. Both the power supply cords for the ignition/lights and the rotisserie motor are equipped with a 3-prong (grounded) plug for protection against shock hazard. Do not cut or remove the grounding from the plug. The electrical service must be equipped with a properly grounded 3- prong receptacle as required by the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70- latest edition. Installation in Canada must be in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA 22.1 and local codes.

IMPORTANT: Gas fittings, regulator, and installer supplied shut-off valve must be easily accessible.

11

General Information Keep grill area clear and free from combustible

materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors.

When the outdoor grill is not in use, the gas supply must be turned off at the LP gas supply cylinder.

The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the outdoor grill must be used. Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by the manufacturer.

Finding a leak is not a do-it-yourself procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the on position and this must be done by a qualified technician.

The LP supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP- gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA- B339, Cylinders, Spheres, and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods.

Use only extension cords with a 3-prong grounding plug, rated for the power of the equipment, and approved for outdoor use with a W-A marking.

Gas Manifold Pressure Natural gas - 4.0 W.C.P. LP/Propane - 10.0 W.C.P.

NOTE: Tank must be mounted in vertical position for proper Ventilation

LP/Propane Tank Connection Outdoor grills orificed for use with LP/Propane gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP/Propane cylinder equipped with a Type 1, QCC-1 connector. Hose assembly must comply with Elastomeric Composite Hose and Couplings for conducting Propane and Natural Gas, CAN/CGA-8.1 standard or the Theromplastic Hose and Hose Couplings for conducting Propane and Natural Gas

CAN1-8.3 standard. (See LP/Propane tank requirements below). Each tank is supplied with a dust cap. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

Connect the regulator to the grill unit by screwing the 3/8 flare coupling to the 3/8 flare adapter. Connect to the tank valve by screwing the Type 1, QCC-connector to the LP/Propane tank. Open the tank valve and check the

connection between the regulator and the Type 1, QCC-1 fitting for leaks with a soapy water solution. If bubbles appear, tighten the connection. Repeat until all leaks have been stopped. ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY LP/PROPANE TANK CHANGE. Any joint sealant used must be an approved type and be resistive to the actions of LP/Propane gas.

27

LP/Propane Tank Requirements A dented or rusty LP/Propane tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your tank supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. All tanks should be equipped with an OPD (overfilling protection device). This is a DOT requirement for all tanks purchased after October 1, 1998 and will ensure that the tank is not overfilled. The LP/Propane tank should be a standard 5-gal, 20 lb. gas cylinder tank approximately 12 in diameter and 18 high which must be constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications for LP/Propane Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission. The cylinder connection device must be compatible with the Type 1, QCC-1 connector on the outdoor cooking appliance.

All LP/Propane tanks must be mounted in a vertical position for proper ventilation. The cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in an LP/Propane gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and provided with a listed overfilling prevention device. If the appliance is stored indoors the cylinder must be disconnected and removed from the appliance. Each tank is supplied with a dust cap. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve.

Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane. The cylinder used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well- vented area out of the reach of children.

Built-In Installations Built-in installations must be plumbed using a fixed/hard line if the unit is going to be operated at a distance exceeding 3 feet (0.91 meters) from the fuel supply per ANSI Z21.24 CSA. Also, in a built-in construction where an LP/Propane tank is going to be used, there MUST be some type of support (braces, cutout, etc.) to prevent tank from moving within the installation. The support must also allow the LP/Propane tank to withstand a horizontal tipping force equal to the weight of the tank without tipping over. The tank can not tip over or deflect more than 1.00 inch when a 8 lb. horizontal force is applied to a 20 lb. LP/Propane tank

Apply the soap solution to fittings. Turn cylinder valve knob counter clockwise one turn to open.

Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation due to possible mishandling in shipment or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.

Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all flames. Never leak test with an open flame

CAUTION Before placing into operation, always check for

gas leaks with a soapy water solution. DO NOT

USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.

Push and turn the the valve to light the burner and adjust according to the directions following. Must push ignition

button on 100 Series. Note: By replacing the knob, it may be easier to light the burner.

A qualified installer should perform the following burner adjustments. Each burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply may make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the burners (except the rotisserie infrared burner) should be visually checked and compared with the following illustrations.

Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting. If any of these conditions exist, check if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. With a proper flame height, adjust the air shutter to obtain a blue flame with no yellow tipping that sits on the burner at the burner ports. The air shutter is locked in place by a set screw which must be loosened prior to lighting the burner for adjustments.

Performance Checklist A qualified installer should carry out the following checks: All internal packaging removed. Specified clearances maintained to

combustible materials. Pressure regulator connected and set. Manual shut-off valve installed and accessible. Check air shutter adjustment - sharp blue

flame, no yellow tipping. Check for gas leaks (odors) at all gas

connections. Each burner lights satisfactorily, individually or

with adjacent burners lit.

Any adjustments necessary that are the result of the installer not following instructions will be responsibility of the installer, dealer or the end user of the product.

Rotisserie System The rotisserie motor is attached to the mounting bracket located on the right side of the grill frame. The rotisserie motor must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes. The skewer for the rotisserie is assembled into the gear box assembly by placing the pointed end into the gear box, and resting the threaded end on the support at the left side of the grill. With the skewer pushed as far in as possible, the grooved skewer bushing should rest on the left side bracket. Do not remove the plastic cover on the rotisserie motor switch due to safety consideration.

Final Preparation Some stainless steel parts may have a plastic

protective wrap which must be peeled off. The interior should be washed thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove film residues and any dust or debris before being used, then rinsed and wiped dry. Solutions stronger than soap and water are rarely needed.

All stainless steel body parts should be wiped with hot, soapy water and with a liquid cleaner designed for this material. If buildup occurs, do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders!

If it is necessary to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak with hot, wet cloths to loosen the material, then use a wool or nylon scraper. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other material tool to scrape stainless steel! Scratches are almost impossible to remove..
