MEMPHIS VGB0001S 28-Inch Stainless Steel Built-In Grill Instruction Manual
Clearance to Combustible Materials
WARNING: The structure and surrounding objects MUST maintain the specified minimum clearance to combustible materials
Combustible Material is wood, dry wall, siding or any other material that has to ability to catch fire.
Built-in structures constructed of wood or other combustible materials may require the use of the OPTIONAL Built-In Heat Shield Kit to maintain the required clearance to combustible materials. The grill may be supported by either the three support brackets, or the four levelling feet. Please note that there must be at least 3/8″ (1.0 cm) clearance between the bottom of the grill and the structures.
Amajor cause of fires is failure to maintain required clearances (air spaces) to combustible materials. It is of the utmost importance that this product be installed only in accordance with these instructions.
Built-In Cut-out Dimensions
WARNING: See clearance to combustible materials when designing and constructing a built-in island. Built-In islands must be built to the cut-out dimension specifications below.
The owner and/or builder are responsible for consulting local, county, and
state building codes for securing any necessary building permits before
construction.
NOTE: Construction codes vary from locality to locality.
NOTE: Dimensions are to the finished surfaces. Grill cavity surfaces are to be plumb and level to ensure a proper fit.
Hardware Components
Grill Installation and Operation
Installation Requirement
A dedicated GFCI protected electrical circuit is required for all Memphis Wood
Fire Grills and controller systems. This circuit should be installed by a
Certified Electrician. Although the Memphis Grill only uses about 2 amps of
current during start-up, any other equipment (refrigerator, pool pump,
fountains, etc.) that have high current draw, consistently or intermittently,
from the same electrical circuit can cause potential issues and/ or
interruptions with the performance of the grill. We recommend an on/off switch
to be installed in this circuit so that the grill can be easily disconnected
from power when not in operation. This will prevent the build-up of
interference that could affect the controller’s operation.
Hopper Lid Orientation
For easier pellet refill, the hopper lid can be oriented to open toward the
front of the grill instead of the rear when access to the back of the grill is
difficult or unavailable. To switch the orientation to be opened from the
front, the shoulder bolts holding the hopper lid must be removed. Rotate the
lid so the mounting holes are towards the back of the grill. Re-insert
shoulder bolts into the rants towards the back of the grill.
*Note: The fill shield must be flipped up to cover the smoke vent in this orientation. This is used to block pellets from falling into the grill via the smoke vent.
Other Grill Information
Grill Height with Hood Open 47.1 in. [120 cm]
Installation Step 1: Unpacking
Grill requires (2) two people for safe assembly Please note that during
shipping some movement may have taken place, so a complete visual inspection
is required. Be sure to inspect entire grill after removing the protective
shipping carton. Report any damage to your local dealer
immediately. Shipping damage is not covered under warranty. Some surfaces may
be sharp so wear gloves when assembling. Do not plug in the grill until it’s
fully assembled, the plastic protective film is removed from all stainless
steel surfaces, and you’re ready to cook. See: “Start-up Procedure” in the
General Owners Guide for
more details.
- Remove the Savorizer (item 2) and included grates (item 1) from inside the grill hood. To remove the Savorizer, cut the 4 zip ties holding it in place. Set aside grates and Savorizer until needed.
- Peel all plastic protective film from the grill. Be diligent about inspection as the protective film will be hard to remove once the grill is installed and first burned.
Installation Step 2: Wiring
Follow the assembly steps listed below, prior to installation of the unit.
- 3. Remove two 5mm socket head screws from Display Housing shipping bracket using the 5mm Allen wrench.
- 4. Snip the zip tie that secures the Display Housing to the shipping bracket and dispose. This bracket is no longer needed.
- 5. Mount the Display Housing perpendicular to the side panel over the Display Insert bracket using the two 5mm x 40mm socket head screws in the hardware kit. The original 5mm screws can be disposed of.
- 6. Install Wifi Antenna (item 6) to bulkhead connector located on the right panel of the grill behind the Display Housing.
Installation Step 3: Brackets
Follow the assembly steps listed below, prior to installation of the unit. The
Unit can be supported by either the support brackets (items 13, 14, and 15) or
by the four levelling feet (item 10). Refer to page 4 for item part numbers,
descriptions, and quantities.
Note that the support brackets must be installed for either support method.
- 7. Remove the ash/grease drawers from the unit.
- 8. Fasten the left and right support brackets (items 13 and 14) to the unit using the ten 1/4″-20 stainless steel hex bolts (item 5).
- 9. Fasten the rear support bracket (item 15) to the left and right support brackets (items 13 and 14) with two #10-24 x 1/2″ long stainless steel screws (item 7).
- 10. This step is only to be done if the grill is going to be supported by the four levelling feet (item 10) and not the support brackets. Thread the four levelling feet (item 10) into the bottom of the unit.
Optional:
- 11. To reduce the clearance to combustible materials, the optional heat shield kit should be used. Refer to page two to determine if the heat shield kit is required for your installation. Follow the assembly instructions provided with the heat shield kit to properly fasten the kit to the unit.
Installation Step 4: Grill Mounting
- 12. Place the unit into the island and position it to the desired depth. Ensure that the vent holes in the support brackets are unobstructed for properly air circulation.
- 13. Locate the two mounting holes found in the back of the left and right support brackets (Items 13 and 14), and mark the hole locations onto the island’s countertop.
- 14. Carefully slide the unit out of the island, exposing the marked holes on the countertop.
- 15. Drill two 5/16″ holes into the countertop using a drill bit appropriate for the material of the countertop.
- 16. Insert two concrete anchors (item 11), into the two 5/16″ holes.
- 17. Slide the unit back into position, lining up the mounting holes in the left and right support brackets with the concrete anchors.
- 18. Fasten the unit into place using the two 1 3/4″ long stainless steel screws (item 12). Do not over-tighten.
Installation Step 5: Final Assembly
Refer to page 4 for item part numbers, descriptions, and quantities.
- 19. Inset the three ash/grease drawers back into the unit.
- 20. Place Savorizer (item 2) onto the left and right lower brackets found inside the unit.
- 21. Place the main cook grates (item 1) onto the front and rear supports. Place the upper cook grate (item 1) onto the left and right upper brackets found inside the unit.
Vent holes on the mounting brackets must remain unobstructed for proper air circulation. Grill must be accessible (able to slide out) for any future repair or maintenance. Refer to the Owners Guide for first time use instructions.
