  2. At least one ventilation opening shall be provided on the exposed, exterior side of the enclosure 1 in. (25.4 mm) or less from the floor level and shall have a total free area of not less than ½ in²/lb (7.1 cm²/kg) of stored fuel capacity. The upper edge shall be no more than 5 in (127 mm) above the floor level.
  3. Every opening shall have a minimum dimension so as to permit the entrance of 1/8 in (3.2 mm) rod.

GAS REGULATOR CHECK / CONVERSION

If the side burner is factory built for natural gas, the regulator supplied is set for 4″ water column. The regulator is convertible to 10 in wc (2.49 kPa) for system LP application. Make sure that the regulator is set for the correct gas type. To check, remove the brass hex cap. You will find the conversion plastic pin attached to the cap to the underside of the cap. If the disc (1/2 in. diameter) of the pin is close to the cap, then the regulator is set for natural gas. If the disc is at the tip of the pin, away from the brass cap, the regulator is set for system LP application. To convert to natural gas, remove the plastic conversion pin and invert and replace it back in a manner such that the disc is close to the brass cap. For both natural and LP, the maximum inlet pressure is 14 in wc (3.48 kPa).

  3. Turn the main gas valve supply ON.
  4. Apply leak testing solution by spraying on the pipe joints, fittings, and hose.
  5. A gas leak is detected if;a) There is a faint gas smell and/or…b) …growing bubbles appear on any of the connection points and/or hose, DO NOT attempt to ignite the side burner and IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas supply valve.
  6. When there is a gas leak, call a qualified service technician. DO NOT use the side burner until the leak is corrected.

LEAK TEST

LOCATING THE SIDE BURNER

This gas appliance is designed and certified for outdoor use only. Do not locate this side burner under overhead combustible surfaces.

CAUTION should be taken when the unit is used near glass, vinyl siding or other temperature sensitive construction materials. In some cases it may be necessary to increase the clearance around the unit to avoid damage to vinyl siding. Check with the manufacturer of the siding material for details

Do not operate the side burner inside a building, garage, recreation vehicle or any enclosed area. When choosing an area, consider exposure to wind, proximity to traffic paths and length of gas supply line. Keep gas supply lines as short as possible to reduce pressure drop. Keep the side burner away from windy areas but keep the side burner in a well-ventilated area. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the side burner. The supporting edges of the side burner must be located level and flat. The counter should also be leveled.

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION

A minimum clearance of 12″ from the sides and 12″ from the back of the side burner to adjacent vertical combustible construction must be maintained.
IMPORTANT: Prior to completing the installation into the island, connect the wire harnesses of the side burner to the grill if applicable. The location of the side burner in reference to the grill should be to the right hand side when facing the front of the grill. Installing the side burner to the left hand side of the grill is ok, but installation to the right of the grill is preferred. Both grill and side burner come with connections to the other. If wires are not long enough, an extension wire is available to make the proper connection.

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION

ATTENTION: A 9-volt battery is required to be installed prior to the side burner being installed into the island. The battery is located under the false drip pan handle to the right of the bezel assembly.

  9. For complete shutdown, turn “off” the gas at source.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING

Spiders and other insects can nest in the burners of this and any other grills, which causes the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This dangerous “condition” can cause a fire behind the valve panel, damaging the unit and making the unit unsafe to operate. Inspect the burners once a year or if the unit has not been used for more than one month or if any of the following conditions occur:

  1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
  2. The side burner does not reach temperature.
  3. The side burner heats unevenly.
  4. The burners make popping noises.

S-GRATE

The easiest way to clean the grates is to scrub them with a soapy cloth after cooking is completed, the flame is turned off, and the side burner has had time to cool. The grate may discolor, this is a natural reaction to the intense heat given off by the burners.

IMPORTANT Stainless Steel & General Product Care
To keep your TWIN EAGLES products free of surface corrosion and in good working order, it is important to take additional precautions under certain conditions.

If your TWIN EAGLES products are located in corrosive conditions, such as:

  • A coastal environment where corrosive salty air is present
  • Near a swimming pool, hot tub or water feature with exposure to corrosive pool chemicals and/or chlorinated water
  • Areas where muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid) or other corrosive cleaning solutions are used to clean concrete and masonry
  • Areas where corrosive masonry dust and debris are created by cutting stone or mixing cements

These conditions can create a highly corrosive environment that will cause the corrosions resistant type 304 stainless steel to develop surface oxidation, corrosions or rust.

TWIN EAGLES products have been tested in saline solutions, highly chlorinated solutions and have been tested against exposure to highly acidic foods. The test results proved the type 304 stainless steel can withstand exposure over prolonged periods of time. However, the conditions outlined above, along with neglect, can lead to surface corrosion or rust.

It is recommended that your TWIN EAGLES products be kept dry and covered when not in use. This is even more important when long-term storage is intended.

Do not allow food particles or grease to be left inside your TWIN EAGLES products. These can attract rodents, which are unsanitary and are likely to cause physical damage by chewing on the wiring, which can cause permanent damage to the electrical components.

If you are located along the coast or in the desert, wind driven sand is extremely abrasive and can pit and scratch the stainless steel. Keep your TWIN EAGLES products covered when not in use.

When routine cleaning, maintenance and awareness of the conditions outlined above, you can enjoy many years of service from your TWIN EAGLES products. In the event that surface corrosion has developed on the stainless steel, it is typically not the stainless steel that is corroding but corrosive particles that have been deposited on the surface. As a first step, we recommend “Bar Keepers Friend”, available in many supermarkets and hardware stores.

TWIN EAGLES products are made of all welded stainless steel. It is non-rusting and non-magnetic. Never clean the stainless steel when it is hot. After the initial use, some areas may discolor. This is a normal discoloration caused by the intense heat given off by the burners.
Specks of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and get baked-on. These can be removed by using a mild abrasive pad (like Scotch Brite) with a stainless steel cleaner. Use the mildest cleaner and always scrub in the direction of the grain. Do not use steel wool to clean the side burner.

Do not use abrasives on the polished highlights. Be extra careful when cleaning around the highlights. Metal polisher or mild chrome cleaner can be used to bring back the luster on highlights. To touch-up minor scratches in the stainless steel, sand the affected surface very lightly, with 100-dry grit emery sandpaper in the direction of the grain.
