SHIPMENT ARRIVING DAMAGED:

VISIBLE DAMAGE
If your shipment arrives with visible damage to the box/carton, be sure the damage is noted on the bill of freight or express receipt and signed by the person making the delivery. File claim for damages immediately, regardless of the extent of damage.

CONCEALED DAMAGES
If damages are unnoticed until the grill is unpacked, notify the transportation company or carrier immediately and file a concealed damage claim with them. This should be done within (5) days of the delivery date. Be sure to hold on to the box/carton for inspection. We cannot assume responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit.

IMPORTANT NOTES
BE MINDFUL OF WIND DIRECTION
When selecting a suitable location, consider important factors such as exposure to the wind and foot traffic patterns. Position your grill so the prevailing wind blows into the front control panel (at your back when operating), allowing for proper front to rear airflow. Grills located in areas with prevailing winds should be protected by a wind barrier, wind deflector, or wind guard. The grill is designed to pull in air from the front and exhaust through the rear of the unit. Winds hitting the back of the grill directly may cause problems.

GAS LINE LENGTH
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible. Gas lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow or “t” fitting added. This drop in pressure affects grillperformance.

PROPER LEVELING
PROPER LEVELING DURING INSTALLATION IS CRITICAL. A GRILL THAT IS OUT OF LEVEL
WILL CAUSE ERRATIC BURNER COMBUSTION AND INEFFICIENT, UNEVEN HEATING. THE GRILL SHOULD BE LEVEL IN ALL DIRECTIONS. ADJUSTMENTS MAY NEED TO BE MADE EACH TIME WHEN MOVING A FREESTANDING UNIT.

CONSTRUCTION ZONES
Keep all stainless steel products away from construction zones. Construction debris such as (but not limited to) stone dust, stucco, and lime dust could damage or permanently discolor stainless steel products. Keep all caustic chemicals including chlorine and pool cleaning products away from stainless steel at all times.

IMPORTANT: THIS GRILL IS FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.

WARNING!
The grill must be installed in masonry or other types of fireproof surrounds. The unit is not insulated and therefore must be installed or placed with 16″ – 18″ of side and back clearance from unprotected combustible materials such as wood, plastic, or stucco with wood framing. PLEASE NOTE: if this is not done the combustible material will catch on fire and potentially damage your house / structure and may cause bodily harm due to the fire. Do not install this unit under unprotected flammable surfaces. Do not install or use this appliance inside a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. This is a slide-in unit designed to fit into open- front enclosures. The control panel of the unit is removable for gas hookup, servicing and burner adjustment. The control panel must remain removable after you install the unit. Do not have this panel sealed for any reason. Important: The lip on the side requires 1″ (2.5 cm) of counter top on each side and back to support the unit. Note: This unit should be installed so that it can be removed at a later date if factory service is required.

CUT OUT DIMENSIONS

OVERALL PRODUCT DIMENSIONS

ALL BBQ ISLANDS MUST BE MANUFACTURED FROM “NON COMBUSTIBLE” MATERIAL. IF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL IS BEING USED, A SUMMERSET GRILL LINER IS REQUIRED.

GAS REQUIREMENTS

WARNING!
GAS LINES
Never connect a gas line directly to the grill. A pressure regulator must be installed on all gas equipment. Removing or failing to install the pressure regulator can result in fire and serious personal injury and will void the warranty.

MINIMUM PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS
Ensure the gas supplied meets the minimum pressure requirements. See below table for gas requirements measure in water column (w.c.) pressure:

Both the regulator and burner orifices have been tuned for the type of gas specified on the rating plate. Converting to a different type of gas requires a conversion kit. Conversion kits are included with this grill and located with the manual. Converting gases may require additional parts not included with this grill. (See Gas Conversion section for details).

IMPORTANT:
All installation and all installation parts must conform to local codes with the National Electrical Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 70 latest edition and the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the U.S. and CGA-B149.1/.2 in Canada

NATURAL GAS REQUIREMENTS
Summerset Professional Grills recommends that only qualified professionals perform the required plumbing on this product.

• Check the rating plate to make sure the gas supply you are hooking up to is the gas type the grill is manufactured for.
• To ensure satisfactory performance, the gas supply line must be sized to accommodate the total BTU requirements of all the gas-fired equipment that will be connected to that line.
• In no case should pipe less than 1/2” inside diameter or 1” outside diameter ever be used to connect this product.

NOTE: DO NOT use any tape, pipe dope or threading compound on any flare fitting. This will cause a clog in the regulator and prevent your grill from functioning properly.

CONNECTING TO THE NG REGULATOR

LIQUID PROPANE TANK REQUIREMENTS
Turn off the gas at the supply when grill is not in use.
Please ensure:

• The LP gas tank has a shutoff valve, terminating in an LP gas supply tank valve outlet that is compatible with a Type 1 tank connection device. The LP gas tank must also have a safety relief device that has a direct communication with the vapor space of the tank.
• The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
• The LP gas tank used must have a collar to protect the tank valve.

Never connect an unregulated LP gas tank to your gas grill. The gas regulator assembly supplied with your gas grill is adjusted to have an outlet pressure of an estimated 11” water column (W.C.) for connection to an LP gas tank.

• Use a standard 20 lbs. LP tank with QCC – 1 fitting.
• Grills set up for LP gas come equipped with an LP hose regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lbs. LP cylinder. (Туре 1)

NOTE: DO NOT use any tape, pipe dope or threading compound on any flare fitting. This will cause a clog in the regulator and prevent your grill from functioning properly.

CONNECTING TO THE LP TANK
The hose and regulator are connected in the following manner.

• Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve and turn the black coupling nut clockwise until the coupling nut is hand tight. DO NOT over-tighten this connection.
• To disconnect the coupling nut, first make sure the main cylinder valve is turned off. Grasp the coupling nut and turn counter clockwise. The inlet will then disengage.

FILLING AND REFILLING LP GAS CYLINDERS
All purging and refilling of LP gas cylinders must be performed by qualified personnel in the LP gas industry. Never store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance. Never fill the LP gas cylinder beyond 80 percent full. Failure to follow these instructions may result in explosion, personal injury or death.

A propane tank with an OPD (Overfill Prevention Device) must be used. This safety feature prevents the tank from being over-filled which can cause malfunction of the LP gas tank, regulator and/or grill.
The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only. Be sure to read and follow all LP connection instructions.
A dented or rusty LP cylinder may be hazardous and should be avoided. If in doubt, have it checked by your LP supplier. Always check for leaks after every LP cylinder change. (See Checking For Leaks)
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children. If your grill is stored indoors, the LP cylinder must be stored outside, in upright position and away from excessive heat.
LIQUID PROPANE INSTALLATION
NOTE: Ventilation is require in the enclosure on opposite sides to create cross-ventilation. Liquid propane is heavier than natural gas and vents should be located near the bottom of the enclosure.

CONNECTING TO A SIDE BURNER
You will need a ‘T’ adapter fitting (not provided) or similar connection to connect a single gas line to both a side burner and a grill. We recommend a licensed gas technician install all gas lines. See below figure for installation of a ‘T’ adapter.

LIGHTING THE GRILL
WARNING! Before lighting the burners, inspect the gas supply piping or hose. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use. Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.

Never operate the grill unattended. DO NOT OPERATE ROTISSERIE BURNER WITH WARMING RACK INSTALLED
Your Summerset Professional Grill is equipped with reliable, high-efficiency piezo ignition valves. Below are instructions for valve ignition and manual ignition lighting.

Lighting The Grill & Maintenance Tips

VALVE IGNITION
PLEASE Keep your face and body away from the grill top when lighting.

• Open the hood before lighting; do not attempt to ignite burners while hood is closed.
• Make sure gas supply is turned on.
• Make sure burner control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
• Press in the control knob then slightly turn the knob counterclockwise while still pressing in.
• Hold in the above position for 5 seconds allowing the gas to reach the manifold.
• Turn the knob counterclockwise past the ignition to the high setting to ignite. You will hear the one time clicking sound of the spark ignition.
• After ignition, set the knob to the desired setting.

NOTE:

1. If the burner doesn’t ignite, wait five (5) minutes before repeating the steps.
2. DO NOT turn on more than one burner at a time.

MANUAL IGNITION

CAUTION: Always wait five (5) minutes for gas to clear after any unsuccessful lighting attempt. Follow these steps: Place either a burning long-barrel butane lighter or a burning long-stem match near the manual flash tube to the right of the grill. For back burners, hold the flame against the surface of the back burner. Hold the lighter or match flame at the top of the manual flash tube for five (5) seconds, or, next to the back burner. Then depress the appropriate control knob and while pressing, turn it counterclockwise to the HI position. Remove the lighter or match when the burner lights and release the control knob. If the burner does not light within five seconds of turning the control knob, immediately depress the knob and turn the control knob to OFF. Wait five (5) minutes before repeating the step of the MANUAL LIGHTING instructions.

NOTE: Keep the hood closed during the pre-heat period.

BEFORE LIGHTING ROTISSERIE BURNER
IMPORTANT: REMOVE THE WARMING RACK PRIOR TO TURNING ON THE ROTISSERIE BURNER. Turning the rotisserie burner on while the warming rack is installed will cause the warming rack to warp and void the warranty.

MAINTENANCE TIPS

PREHEATING THE GRILL
Pre-heating your grill every time you use it is extremely important. Pre- heating allows the briquettes to properly heat up, providing more even and more consistent cooking results. Pre-heat your grill by igniting all main burners. Then close the hood and allow the grill to heat for 10 to 15 minutes, the hood thermometer should reach approximately 450°. Once you’ve reached your desired pre-heat temperature, turn off the burners that you won’t be using to cook your food. Remember, surface temperature can be up to 200° higher.

SHUT OFF INSTRUCTIONS

1. To shut off the unit, depress each valve control knob and while pressing turn clockwise to the “OFF” position.
2. Always close the valve from the gas supply after each use of the unit.

NOTE: When using a portable propane tank: Propane tanks are equipped with a safety shutdown device that may cause low or no gas pressure/flame at the burners if operating and lighting instructions are not followed exactly.

CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
The drip tray should be cleaned after each use. After the grill is completely cool, remove the drip tray by pulling it out until it stops, then lifting the front edge until the drip tray comes free. Clean it with hot soapy water or an oven-style cleaning product and re-install. When using an oven-style cleaning product be sure to carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Many of these cleaners are toxic and can damage the stainless-steel finish if not used properly. Also, check the tray after rain. If you’ve left the grill uncovered, you may need to remove the drip tray to drain the water from the tray.

LOW FLAME ADJUSTMENT

• To adjust the burner to a low setting:
• Make sure the grill is cool.
• Remove the grates and burner covers so you can see the flames while adjusting the burners.
• Light the burner and allow it to preheat on high for 3 minutes.
• Turn the burner to “LOW”.
• Pull off the control knob.
• Use a flat head screw driver and adjust the “gold flathead screw” in the valve to the proper flame height.

CLEANING TIPS
STAINLESS STEEL NEEDS TO BE CLEANED?? ABSOLUTELY!
Stainless steels need to be cleaned for aesthetic considerations and to preserve corrosion resistance. Stainless steel is protected from corrosion by a thin layer of chromium oxide. Oxygen from the atmosphere combines with the chromium in the stainless steel to form this passive chromium oxide film that protects from further corrosion. Any contamination of the surface by dirt, or other material, hinders this passivation process and traps corrosive agents reducing corrosion protection. Thus, routine cleaning is necessary to preserve the appearance and integrity of the surface.

GRILL EXTERIOR
Wash will warm soapy water and apply stainless steel polish to protect routinely grill interior

GRILL INTERIOR

• Burn off excess food debris and marinades for 15 minutes after cooking.
• Once the unit is cool, turn over the burner covers and burn the top side (the burner covers are reversible and are able to be mounted upside down for cleaning purposes).
• Use an approved stainless-steel oven cleaner to remove grease build up.
• Routinely have a professional barbecue cleaning company detail the barbecue for best results and longevity.

STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE
After each use, wipe down the exterior of the grill to remove grease and splatters. Use a commercially available stainless steel cleaner to clean and polish the exterior surfaces. Doing these things on a regular basis minimizes the amount of effort required .

When removing stubborn stains:

• Do not use metallic abrasives and always rub in the direction of the grain.
• Some household cleaning products are not suitable for stainless steel; be sure to read the label before using on the grill.
• Always use the mildest cleaning solution first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain.
• Specks of grease may gather in the grain of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface, giving the appearance of rust.
• To remove these baked-on foods use a fine to medium grit non-metallic abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner.
• Solutions used for cleaning concrete and masonry can be very corrosive and will ‘attack’ stainless steel.
• Be sure your Summerset products are well protected before using these products.

IMPORTANT NOTE: FOR LOCATIONS NEAR COASTAL AREAS AND POOLS

304 stainless steel materials used in the construction of your Summerset

Professional Grill are highly rust resistant, however, chlorine in the air from swimming pools or the salt from sea air may cause surface rust to appear and even create some pitting if left on the product. Here are a few tips to avoid this:

• Regularly wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth (micro fiber towels work well)
• Allow the surfaces to dry before installing the cover Do NoT cover a damp grill.
• In extreme environments apply a rust inhibitor which leaves a microscopic protective layer on the grill.
• For seasonal storage, use the product referred to above, ensure the grill is dry, then cover and secure the cover to minimize the amount of damp air getting to the surfaces.

After your first use, certain areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners – this is normal and cannot be cleaned off. For light and heavy food stains there are many different stainless steel cleaners available.
