Locating the Grill
Check your local building codes for the proper method of installation. In the absence of local codes, this unit should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code No. Z223. 1-1998 USA or CAN/CGA-B149.1/.2 Natural Gas/Propane Code (Canada) latest edition or the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1, 1990 or latest version.
- Before installing built-in grills in enclosures, copy all product information such as model number, serial number and type of grill (e.g. natural gas or LP) and store information in a safe place.
- If the grill is installed by a professional installer or technician, be sure that he or she shows you where your gas supply shut-off is located. All gas lines must have a shut- off that is readily and easily accessible. If you smell gas, check for gas leaks immediately. Check only with a soap and water solution. Never check for gas leaks with an openflame.
Notice: We strongly recommend professional installation of your WILDFIRE
Grill. These instructions pro-vide the measurements necessary to construct a
masonry structure to house your outdoor gas grill.
IMPORTANT: Gas fittings, regulator, and installer supplied shut-off
valves must be easily accessible.
LOCATION OF YOUR GRILL:
Locate the grill only OUTSIDE in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the
grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas
without an approved ventilation system. When in use, the grill will generate a
lot of smoke. When installing your grill, select an outdoor location that will
ensure there is adequate area for the smoke to dissipate IN ORDER TO AVOID
INHALATION OF POTENTIALLY TOXIC FUMES.
Ventilation Requirements for Proper Operation of your Wildfire Grill
- Ventilation for a gas grill is absolutely mandatory to ensure that your grill performs as intended and to ensure the safety of you, your family, and guests. Proper ventilation is necessary to allow heat inside your grill to escape and also to allow any gas that has leaked from a tank or connection to escape before a buildup of such gas can occur and possibly ignite.
Failure to provide proper ventilation cause a risk of bodily injury or
death.
-
If you elect to install your grill into an island, the island itself must be ventilated properly. Any such island must have a minimum of 2 vents (but optimally 4 vents) per cabinet that has any sort of gas supply or connection. Each vent must be at least 20 sq. in in size and have access to outside/fresh air. Those vents will allow heat that is trapped inside due to wind to be able to dissipate out of the island vents.
However, if the island is not ventilated properly and the wind is coming from the back, then the heat will try to escape through the easiest exit, which will most likely be through the bottom of the grill and front control panel. -
A simple way to think of what is occurring inside your grill is that when your burners are on, they are emitting a flame that creates the heat to cook your food. This heat must exhaust or escape from the grill, otherwise you would eventually have a unit that would not only build up intense heat but also dangerous pressure. This could cause severe damage to not only the grill but any operators or people or property near-by. The grill itself allows for ventilation mainly through the rear of the unit above the rear panel but below the top of the hood. However, wind can act as a barrier to ventilation and exhaust. This blockage of exhaust can cause problems and hazardous conditions. Therefore, great care must be taken in selecting a location for your grill and in the installation of it into any masonry island or other outdoor structure. This can cause the control panel and knobs to get hot to the touch and possibly even burn your fingers, not to mention that it can melt all rubber gaskets on the valves and damage the ignition system to where it will need full replacement.
-
Ventilation and typical wind direction and conditions must always be considered when planning your outdoor cooking island. Just the same as you would plan the layout and measure your indoor kitchen, you must also do the same for the outdoors.
High Elevation Installation and Use
Wildfire Grills are designed to operate most efficiently at 0-2000 feet above
sea level. From 2000-4000 feet
above sea level you will not notice any substantial decrease in your heat,
although more gas is combusting within the burners due to less oxygen.
Above 4000 feet, you may experience longer cooking times on your grill than
experienced at sea level.
This is due to the air/fuel mixture taking place within the burners.
If you have questions or concerns regarding your location or elevation, please
contact Wildfire Customer Service for assistance.
Minimum of 2 vents, but optimally 4 vents, per cabinet that has any sort of
gas supply or connection.
Each vent must be at least 20 sq in in size and have access to outside/fresh
air.
Two vents on each side will facilitate and improve airflow and ventilation

Gas Requirements
NOTE: Wildfire strongly recommends that a qualified service technician
perform the initial installation and all conversions or modifications to the
gas supply.
Never attach an unregulated gas line to the appliance. Connection to an
unregulated gas line can cause excessive heat or fire and the risk of property
damage, bodily injury, or death.
IMPORTANT: Before connecting your grill to a gas source, make sure grill control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
-
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or liquid propane, and make sure the marking on the appliance rating label agrees with that of the gas supply. Do not connect a Wildfire liquid propane gas grill to a natural gas supply, and do not connect a Wildfire natural gas grill to a liquid propane gas supply.
• All pipe sealants must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of LP gas. Never use pipe sealant on flare fittings. -
The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2, or the Standard for Recreational Vehicles, ANSI A 119.2/ NFPA 1192M, and CSA Z240 RV Series, Recreational Vehicle Code, as applicable.
REMOVING PROTECTIVE FILM
Please notice that certain parts of the grill are covered in protective
wrapping on stainless steel surface. It is a protective plastic coating. We
put it on certain parts of the stainless steel to help protect them from
getting scratched during shipping.
You MUST REMOVE first before using grill. If you are still having a tough time
removing the protective coating, by waving a hair dryer over the area will
loosen up the plastic and make it easier to remove.
Always be sure to remove the protective fil before using the grill for the
first time!
Liquid Propane Gas Supply
Always check the rating plate to make sure gas supply to which you connect the grill is the gas type for which the grill is manufactured. A Wildfire liquid propane (LP) gas grill is designed to operate on propane gas ONLY, at a pressure regulated at 11″ (279.4mm) water column (W.C.) when equipped with the correct propane orifices on the valves and a propane regulator on the supply line regulated at the residential meter. A Wildfire liquid propane gas grill comes with a propane regulator that is designed to be used with a standard 20 lb. gas cylinder and those cylinders must be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications of the US Department of Transportation for propane gas cylinders.
- Liquid propane (LP) gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Know its characteristics before using any propane products.
- Propane characteristics include: flammable, explosive under pressure, heavier than air and settles in pools and low areas.
- In its natural state, propane has no odor. For your safety, an odorant typically is added. ALWAYS purchase or refill your propane tanks from a reputable propane gas supplier.
- Contact with propane can cause freeze burns to the skin.
- NEVER use a propane cylinder with a damaged body, valve, collar or footing.
- A dented or rusted propane cylinder may be hazardous.
- Always keep LP cylinder securely fastened in an upright position.
- Never connect an unregulated propane gas cylinder to the grill.
- NEVER subject (expose) propane cylinders to excessive heat.
- All L.P. gas cylinders used with this appliance shall be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P. gas cylinders of the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable; and shall be provided with a listed overfilling prevention device.
- Read labels on the L.P. Gas Supply Cylinder.
- New cylinders are always shipped empty for safety.
- Allow only qualified L.P. gas dealers to fill or repair your L.P. gas supply cylinder.
- Inform the gas dealer if it is a new or used cylinder to be filled.
- After filling, have the gas dealer check for leaks and to see that the relief valve remains effective and in good repair.
Hose and Regulator (Comes standard with the grill)
The Type 1 connection system has the following features:
- The system will not allow gas to flow until a positive connection has been made.
The cylinder control valve must be turned off before any connection is made or removed.
- The system has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas in the event of a fire.
- The system has a flow limiting device which, when activated, will limit the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.
- NEVER use grill without leak testing this connection.
LP (Propane) Gas Supply Connection
- The tank valve should be in the “OFF” position. If not, turn the knob clockwise until it stops.
- Make sure all burner valves are in the “OFF” position.
- Always connect the gas supply regulator as follows:
Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn the coupling nut clockwise until the coupler tightens up (see Figure 1). Do not over-tighten the coupler. Turn the main tank valve on, and turn the burner control valves on the unit to the “HIGH” position for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge before attempting to light the burners.
Pre-Operation Leak Testing
- Do not insert any tool into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.
- If a leak is detected at any time, or you cannot stop a gas leak, immediately close the tank’s shut-off valve (gas supply from LP tank to the Grill) and call LP gas supplier or your fire department!
- Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to the regulator. Have a qualified service technician leak test the grill any time a part of the gas system is replaced.
Never attempt to attach this grill to the self-contained LP gas system. Do not
use the grill until leak testing has been completed.
Leak Testing Valves, Hose and Regulator
-
NEVER smoke while leak testing.
-
Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame.
-
Mix a solution of mild detergent or liquid soap and water.
-
Turn all grill control knobs to OFF.
-
Ensure that the connections from the regulator to the grill and tank are tight and secure (Figure A).
-
Completely open LP tank valve by turning cylinder valve knob counterclockwise. If you hear a rushing sound, turn gas off immediately. There is a major leak at the connection.
Correct before proceeding by calling the Wildfire Customer Service line at 602-344-4840. -
If no rushing sound, brush soapy solution onto areas where bubbles are shown in LP tank (Figure 2).
-
If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close LP tank valve immediately and retighten connections.
If leaks cannot be stopped, do not try to repair the regulator, or tank valve, by yourself and contact the Wildfire Customer Service line at 602-344-4840. -
Always close LP tank valve after performing leak test by turning cylinder valve knob clockwise.
Failure to use safety cap as directed may result in serious personal injury
and/or property damage.
A disconnected LP tank in storage or being transported must have a safety cap
installed (Figure 3).
- Never leave a LP tank inside a motor vehicle. (Heating of the vehicle could cause an increase in the gas pressure which may open the release vale allowing gas to escape resulting a serious risk of fire or explosion.)
- Do not store an LP tank in enclosed spaces such as a store room, garage, shed, covered patio or other building.
- Do not store LP tank in an area where children play.
LP Tank Filling
- Use only licensed and experienced LP dealers.
- LP dealer must purge tank before filling.
- Dealer should NEVER fill LP tank more than 80% of LP tank volume. Volume of propane in tank will vary by temperature.
- A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. If frosty, immediately close LP tank valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance.
- Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere. This is a hazardous practice.
- To remove gas from LP tank, contact an LP dealer or call a local fire department for assistance.
LP Tank Exchange
- Exchange your Type 1 cylinder for OPD safety feature-equipped replacement tank ONLY.
- Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright position during use, transit or storage. Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE connecting to grill.
NATURAL GAS SUPPLY
Always check the rating plate to make sure the gas supply to which you connect the grill is the gas type the grill is manufactured for.
A Wildfire natural gas (NG) grill is designed to operate on natural gas ONLY,
at a pressure regulated at 4” (101.6mm) water column (W.C.) when equipped with
the correct natural gas orifices on the valves and a natural gas regulator on
the supply line regulated at the residential meter.
Never connect the grill to an unregulated gas supply.
NATURAL GAS CONNECTIONS MUST BE PERFORMED BY A LICENSED CONTRACTOR OR LOCAL
GAS COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE.
Natural Gas Regulator
NEVER use grill without leak testing this connection.

-
Mix a solution of mild detergent or liquid soap and water.
-
Turn all grill control knobs to OFF.
-
Ensure the connections from the regulator to the grill and tank are tight and secure.
-
Completely open the shut-off valve. If you hear a rushing sound, turn gas off immediately.
There is a major leak at the connection. Correct before proceeding by calling the Wildfire Customer Service line at 602-344-4840. -
If no rushing sound, brush soapy solution onto all connection points.
-
If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close the shut-off valve immediately and retighten connections. If leaks cannot be stopped, do not try to repair the regulator, or shut-off valve, by yourself and contact the Wildfire Customer Service line at 602-344-4840.
NOTE: When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and tighten all loose connections. A slight leak in the system can result in a low flame, or a hazardous condition that could result in a fire or explosion.
Natural Gas Supply and Connection
- Make sure all burner valves are in the “OFF” position
- All NG units need to have a regulator and shut-off valve on the supply line.
- All Pipe threads need to have proper, gas-rated, outdoor-rated thread sealant. Flare ends do not need or utilize pipe sealant.
- Your NG Wildfire grill comes with a ½” pressure regulator, find gas hose with NG pressure regulator on rear of grill.
a) Attach connection hose (not included) to the side of the NG regulator (it is also ½” MIP)
i. We suggest using ½” stainless steel corrugated hoses for all NG Grills
ii. Make sure that you purchase a hose of adequate length and capacity for the intended application.
b) Connect the other end of this hose to shut-off valve at the gas source.
i. Depending on your choice of hose and shut-off, the nipple going into the shut-off valve may vary.
c) Test all connections for leaks with a soap and water solution.
Instruction for Connecting the Transformer
Follow the pictures and insert the white male plug into the white female socket, on the left side of your grill and then plug the transformer into a standard 110v outlet. If you have any questions or concerns, please consult or use a qualified electrician.
Operating the Grill
- Failure to open the lid prior to igniting the barbecue’s burners, or not waiting 5 minutes to allow the gas to clear if the barbecue does not light, may result in an explosive flame-up which can cause serious bodily injury or death.
GENERAL RULES
NEVER leave the grill unattended while cooking!
- Check that the end of each burner tube is properly located over each valve orifice.
- Light the grill burners using the instructions provided in this manual.
- Adjust heat settings to your desired cooking temperature.
- Allow grill to cool down, wipe off any splatters or grease and clean the drip tray.
- NEVER put a cover on the grill while it is still hot as it could start a fire.
Keep any electrical supply cords and the fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces.
Lighting Instructions for your Grill
Using the Grill’s Built-In Ignition System:
-
Open the hood.
-
Keep your body, arms and face as far away from the burners and cooking surface as possible.
-
Select the burner that you want to ignite. Depress and rotate the knob corresponding to that burner counter-clockwise to the “High” position.
a. As you are nearing the “High” position, you will notice the valve getting tougher to turn. This is the spring inside the valve building up energy to create the spark. Once you hear a click, the igniter has fired the spark for that burner.
b. Do not turn the knob too fast, as you need the gas to travel into your manifold, then to the valve and finally into the burner where it will meet the spark from the igniter (at the front of the burner).
Conversely, if you turn the knob too slowly, you can cause a build-up of gas in the grill and create a large flash when it ignites. -
If the burner does not ignite on the first attempt, try again immediately but be very aware of any gas building up inside the grill.
a. If the grill does not light after three consecutive attempts, turn the knob to the “Off” position,
keep the canopy open, and allow the grill to clear of any built-up gas for at least 5 minutes -
If at this point the grill will still not ignite, contact Wildfire Customer Service at 602-344-4840, for further assistance to troubleshoot your grill.
Using Your Grill and Grilling Safely
Your grill is designed to reach a temperature that you set by adjusting a
valve that in-turn adjusts the amount of gas that goes through each burner.
This valve is located behind the knob and is the key to your heat and fuel
consumption.
Furthermore, the way to ignite the burners is through the valves, so please
understand the importance of the valves/knobs and the position/care taken with
respect to them.
- Example: If you forget to turn a knob off and the burner is not lit, then you will have a gas leak out of that valve. You must be aware of your grill’s status and be responsible!
First Time Use
The first time you ignite your grill, burn the grill to get rid of any odors
or trace debris that may be left over from manufacturing and transit. This is
done by operating your grill at the “HIGH” setting with the hood closed for
no more than 5 minutes. After you have “burned off” the grill, you are ready
for cooking!
Burner Use – Direct, Indirect, Sear, Rotisserie Cooking
Controlling how much gas flows through your burner determines the size of your
flame. The ideal flame will be blue, with no yellow tip, and with no excessive
noise coming out of the burner. If you happen to have any of these problems
(yellow tip or excessive/unusual noise), wait until the grill has completely
cooled and safe to:
- Check the air adjustment screw on the side of the burner itself (called the Air Venturi) and also the adjustment screw that resides directly below the orifice to ensure proper gas flow into the burner from the valve.
- There are many reasons that can cause poor flames and heat but none are more serious than a gas leak, so always pay attention for the odor of gas (NG or LP), and do not forget to clean your burners (see Care and Maintenance section of this manual)!
Direct Cooking , you simply cook your food over a direct flame that is hot and quick to cook.
-
Direct cooking, however, can burn your food quickly. Pay attention closely if you choose this method!
Indirect Cooking is used for larger cuts of meats and anything that you intend to keep nice and juicy! -
For indirect cooking, turn off the burner located directly under the food being cooked and adjust the exterior burners flame so that you create a slow, constant and even cooking environment for your food!
Heat-Zone Separator Installation
To install the heat zone separators, please insert the heat zone seperators as shown in photos.
For Sear/Rotisserie Cooking, Wildfire grills utilize the same burner technology in their sear burner, as their rotisserie burner, along with a motor and spit that will hold and rotate up to 20lbs of food. Sold separately.
Care & Maintenance
All cleaning and maintenance should be done only when grill is cool & with the
fuel supply turned off at the cylinder or source.
Drip Tray
The drip tray located below the grill should be cleaned periodically to
prevent buildup of debris.
NOTE: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless
it is covered (cover sold separately). Rain water can collect inside the
grill, the grill cart, or the drip tray if left uncovered. If the drip tray is
not cleaned after use and the grill is left uncovered, the drip tray will fill
with water causing grease and water to spill into the grill cart. We
recommend cleaning and storing the drip tray after every use.
Cooking Grates
The cooking grates can be cleaned immediately after cooking and after turning
off the grill. But, exercise extreme caution because the grates will be very
hot if you clean them immediately after cooking.
Wear a barbecue mitt and scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the
grill is allowed to cool down, cleaning the grates will be easier if removed
from the grill and cleaned with a mild detergent.
Flame Tamers
Washing the Flame Tamers after every use is not necessary but periodically it
is suggested you wash them in a soap and warm water solution. Do not clean the
Flame Tamers immediately after use of the grill. Allow Flame
Tamers to cool. Use a wire brush to remove stubborn burned on cooking residue.
Dry the Flame Tamers & flame dividers thoroughly before you reinstall them in
the grill.
Burners
IMPORTANT: Gas control knobs should be in the “OFF” position and fuel
line/source should be disconnected.
To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK, the procedure below should be followed at
least once a month or when your grill has not been used for an extended period
of time.
Main Burners:
- Clean main burners only when cool.
- Remove your main burners from the grill by removing the nut holding the burner down in the back and carefully lifting each burner up and away from the gas valve orifice.
- Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food debris and dirt. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.
- Inspect the burner for damage (cracks or holes) and if such damage is found, order and install a new burner.
- After re-installation, check to insure that gas valve orifices are correctly placed inside ends of burner tubes. Also check position of spark electrode.
Troubleshooting Your Grill
GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect your burners at least once a year or immediately if any of the
following conditions occur:
- The smell of gas.
- Flames appearing mostly yellow.
- The grill will not get hot enough.
- Burners make a snapping noise.
- The grill heats unevenly.
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this
and other grills, which could disrupt gas flow. This dangerous condition could
cause a fire behind and beneath the valve panel, damaging the grill and
making it unsafe to operate. We recommend you check the grill and remove any
spiders, insects and webs at least once a year to reduce this risk.
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS/INSECTS
You should inspect the burners once a year or immediately after any of the
following conditions occur:
- The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
- The grill does not reach temperature.
- The grill heats unevenly.
- The burners make popping noises.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the grill does not function properly, use the chart below to assist in
diagnosing the problem.
Troubleshooting is for general purposes only. ALWAYS ERR ON THE SIDE OF
SAFETY.
If the problem still exists, contact our Wildfire Customer Service line at
602-344-4840.
Problem: | Possible Causes and Solutions: |
---|---|
Grill will not light when the igniter button Is pushed. | • Is your gas supply |
turned on?
• If this is an L.P. grill, is there gas in your tank? Check your gas level.
• Is one of your burners turned on? Allow up to S seconds of gas flow to
ignite.
• Is your igniter working?
– You should hear a snapping sound when you press the igniter.
– If you hear a snapping sound, can you see a spark at the electrodes?
Note: You will need to remove your cooking grates and flame tantmers to see
the electrodes. The electrodes should have a 1/8″ to ve gap between the
electrodes and contact point.
• Check for loose wire connections to the igniter or electrodes.
• Check to see if debris is blocking the electrodes.
• If the igniter is not working, can you light the grill with a lighter?
Flare-ups| • Check name Tammers and cooking grates for excess food or grease
build-up.
• Ensure grill is not placed directly in the path of wind.
Be sure drip tray is clean (do not use aluminum foil on drip tray.) Note: Some
flare-ups may be inevitable if cooking greasy foods.
Yellow Flames| • Check the burner inlet for obstructions, particularly at air
inlets for each burner.
• Grill may be in an area that is too windy.
Flame blows out on low setting or has uneven heat distribution.| • Check for
spider webs or insect nest in venturi and clean venturi.
• Cold grill needs to be preheated for 5 minutes on high setting.
• Venturi may be misaligned and needs to be lined up over orifices.
• Cold and windy weather will require you to move grill away from the wind.
• Lack of fuel. Check to see cylinder valve is open and cylinder has fuel.
Low heat with the knob on “HIGH”| • Check to see if the fuel hose is bent or
kinked.
• Make sure the grill area is clear of dust.
• Check your gas supply and gas pressure.
• If it is only one burner that appears low, make sure the orifice or burner
is clean.
Grill is Too Hot| • Excess grease build-up causing grease fires.
• Damaged or faulty regulator.
Replace with factory authorized parts.
• Cook on a lower temperature setting.
Flame behind control panel or control knob area.| IMMEDIATELY shut off
cylinder valve and allow grill to cool.
• Check for spider webs or insect nest in venturi and clean venturi.
• Gas is leaking from a faulty connection. Tighten connections with an
adjustable wrench and replace damaged parts. Perform a leak test on all
connections before cooking on grill again.
• Venturi may be misaligned and needs to be lined up over orifice.
• if you cannot find the reason, call Customer Service at
602-344-4840 for assistance.
