- Damage caused by leaving the operating burner unattended is not covered under the terms and conditions of the AMD Direct Gold Standard Warranty. Never leave an open flame unattended.
- Never use a burner without a drip pan in place. Make sure the drip pan is properly and fully inserted. Failure to do so may allow hot grease or boil-overs to become a fire or explosion hazard.
- Do not repair or replace any part of the Side Burner unless specifically recommended by this manual. A qualified technician should perform all other necessary services.
- Summerset Side Burners are not designed/certified for and cannot be installed in or on recreational vehicles, portable trailers, boats, or any other mobile vehicle.
- Children should never be left alone or unattended in an area where a Side Burner is located. Install your Side Burner well away from areas where children play. Do not store items that may draw the interest of children in or around the Side Burner, island, or masonry enclosure. When in use and immediately after, areas of the Side Burner are hot enough to cause severe burns!
- Avoid wearing loose-fitting, long sleeves or flammable garments when using the Side Burner. Never touch cooking grates on top or surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands as these areas become extremely hot during use and could cause severe burns. Use an insulated glove or mitt when attempting to handle parts of the Side Burner.
- Never lean over or look directly over the cooking surface when attempting to light.
- The Side Burner lid must be completely removed before lighting and during operation.
- Do not cover the Side Burner with the lid until the cooking surface has cooled down.

Safety & Installation Instructions
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 a claim for damages immediately, regardless of the extent of the damage. -
CONCEALED DAMAGES
If damages are unnoticed until the Side Burner 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 Side Burner so the prevailing wind blows into the front control panel (at your back when operating), allowing for proper front-to-rear airflow. Side Burners located in areas with prevailing winds should be protected by a wind barrier, wind deflector, or wind guard. Side Burners are designed to pull in air from the front and exhaust through the rear of the unit. Winds hitting the back of the Side Burner 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 Side Burner performance. -
PROPER LEVELING
PROPER LEVELING DURING INSTALLATION IS CRITICAL. A SIDE BURNER THAT IS OUT OF LEVEL WILL CAUSE ERRATIC BURNER COMBUSTION AND INEFFICIENT, UNEVEN HEATING. THE SIDE BURNER 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 SIDE BURNER IS FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
WARNING!
- The Side Burner must be installed in masonry or other type of fireproof surround. 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. It must not be used in or on recreational vehicles or boats.
- 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 countertop on each side and back to support the unit.
- Note: We recommend you build the enclosure for the power burner 6”-12” (15.2 cm- 30.5 cm) LOWER than your countertop. This will ensure a safer environment when using tall cooking pots like the turkey fryer, which can hold 40 lbs of hot flammable oil. Please make sure that you do not overfill large pots of oil for the oil will spill over and catch on fire.
- Note: This unit should be installed so that it can be removed at a later date if factory service is required.
ENSURING PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND COOLING AIRFLOW
You must maintain proper airflow for your Side Burner to perform as it was
designed (diagram below). If airflow is blocked, overheating and poor
combustion will result. Make sure not to block the 1″ (2.5 cm) front air inlet
along the bottom of the control panel or more than 75% of the support grid
surface with pans or griddles.
Note:
The 1″ (2.5 cm) front air space allows access to the drip tray.

Gas Safety Requirements
WARNING!
CHECK TO ENSURE THAT THE GAS SUPPLY HOSE DOES NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY HOT
SURFACE OF THE SIDE BURNER.
LP GAS (LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM /PROPANE)
If your Side Burner is factory-built for LP, the regulator required is set for
a 10” water column and is for use with LP gas only. If the unit is NOT
supplied with a regulator please make sure that all requirements are met for
the type of regulator required.
LP GAS SAFETY REQUIREMENT
The LP gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked per the
specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation
(D.O.T.) or the National Standards of Canada CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres
and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods, and Commission, as
applicable; and
- Provided with a listed overfilling prevention device.
- Provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appliances.
It must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in the gas tank valve outlet. It must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. Do not operate the gas Side Burner indoors or in any enclosed area. If the gas Side Burner is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder. If the Side Burner is to be stored indoors, disconnect the gas supply cylinder and leave the cylinder outdoors.
LP GAS HOOK-UP
A typical LP gas installation is shown below. Make sure that the factory-
supplied regulator is used and installed with the arrow mark on the regulator
pointing towards the Side Burner. Do not use any replacement regulator other
than that specified by the manufacturer. Use only pipe sealants that are
approved for use with natural and LP gases. An installer-supplied gas shutoff
valve must be installed in an accessible location. (Reference: leak test
procedure).
Although LP Gas Cylinders may be used, it is not recommended due to the large amount of Gas Consumption and may freeze up the gas cylinder as well as a safety risk.
VENTING YOUR ENCLOSURE:
An enclosure or island for an LP gas cylinder must be vented on the level of
the cylinder valve and at floor level. The effectiveness of the opening(s) for
purposes of ventilation shall be determined with the LP gas supply cylinder in
place. This shall be accomplished by one of the following:
- One side of the enclosure shall be fully open; or
- For an enclosure having four sides, a top, and a bottom, at least two ventilation openings at cylinder valve level shall be provided in the sidewall, equally sized, spaced at 180 degrees (3.14r), and unobstructed. Each opening shall have a total free area of not less than 1/2 square inch per pound (7.1 cm2/kg) of stored fuel capacity and not less than a total free area of 10 square inches (64.5 cm2). Ventilation opening(s) shall be provided at floor level and shall have a total free area of not less than ½” square inch per pound (7.1 cm2/kg) of stored fuel capacity and not less than a total free area of 10 square inches (64.5 cm2). If ventilation openings at floor level are in a sidewall, there shall be at least two openings. The bottom of the openings shall be at floor level and the upper edge no more than 5 inches (127 mm) above the floor. The openings shall be equally sized, spaced at 180 degrees (3.14 r), and unobstructed.
NATURAL GAS INSTALLATION
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with either The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or
CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas Installation Code or CAN/CGA-B149.2, Propane
Installation Code.
- This gas appliance and its shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at the test pressures over ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
- This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the as-supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). If the gas Side Burner is factory-built for natural gas, the regulator supplied is set for a 4” water column. The regulator is convertible Later to a 10” water column for system LP application. Do not use a 20-lb LP cylinder.
Make sure that the regulator is set for natural gas. To check, remove the top 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 in a manner such that the disc is close to the brass cap. For both NG and LP, the maximum inlet pressure is a 14” water column. Make sure that the factory-supplied regulator is used and installed with the arrow mark on the regulator pointing towards the gas Side Burner. Do not use any replacement regulator other than that specified by Summerset. Use only pipe sealants that are approved for use with NG and LP gases. An installer- supplied gas shutoff valve must be installed in an accessible location.
WARNING!
IF YOU SMELL GAS
- Shut off the gas to the appliance right away.
- Extinguish any open flame.
- Make sure the cover is not placed over the burner.
- If the gas smell continues, keep away from the appliance and immediately call the gas supplier or fire department.
LEAK TEST
CAUTION BEFORE TESTING
Finding and/or fixing a gas leak is NOT a “DO-IT-YOURSELF” procedure.
NEVER USE THE SIDE BURNER WITHOUT FIRST LEAK TESTING THE GAS CONNECTIONS.
WARNING:
- DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. THE USE OF AN OPEN FLAME COULD RESULT IN A FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND BODILY HARM.
- DO NOT SMOKE WHILE PERFORMING THE LEAK TEST!
- IF AT ANY TIME YOU SMELL GAS – SWITCH OFF ALL OF YOUR EQUIPMENT AND CALL A PROFESSIONAL TO DETECT THE GAS LEAK. ALWAYS INFORM ALL MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY ABOUT THIS IMPORTANT FACT – SMELL GAS = DO NOT USE THE EQUIPMENT.
To prevent fire or explosion hazards, DO NOT use or permit sources of ignition in the area while performing a leak test. Perform leak test outdoors only. Check to ensure that flexible hoses do not have any cuts and wear that may affect the safety before each use. Only the factory-supplied regulator must be used. Use only the replacement regulator specified by the manufacturer.
- Prepare a leak-testing solution of soap and water in a spray bottle (50% solution)
- Confirm that all control knobs are in the off position.
- Turn the main gas supply valve ON.
- Apply the leak test solution by spraying on all of the pipe joints, fittings, and hoses.
- A gas leak is detected when:
- There is a faint smell of gas and/or
- There are bubbles around the connections.
- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO IGNITE THE BURNER.
- Turn off the main gas supply.
- Call a certified/qualified professional to repair the GAS LEAK.
- DO NOT attempt to use the Side Burner until the leak is fixed.
- A minimum clearance of 1” from the back of the Side Burner above the cooking surface to non-combustible construction is required.
- A minimum of 1” clearance to the sides of the Side Burner above the cooking surface for non-combustible construction is recommended.
Cleaning & Maintenance
NOTE:
It is recommended to build the Side Burner at least 6”-12” lower than the
countertop.
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING
Spiders and other insects can nest in the burner of this and any other Side
Burner, 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
Side Burner and making the Side Burner unsafe to operate. Inspect the burners
once a year or if the Side Burner has not been used for more than one month or
if any of the following conditions occur:
- The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appeared yellow.
- The Side Burner does not reach temperature.
- The Side Burner heats unevenly.
- The Side Burner makes popping noises.
STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE
- The Side Burner is made of stainless steel construction. It is non-rusting. Never clean the stainless steel when it is hot. After the initial cooking use, certain areas of the Side Burner may discolor. This is a normal discoloration caused by the internal heat given off by the burner. 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.
SIDE BURNER GRATE MAINTENANCE
The easiest way to clean the grates is to scrub them with a barbecue brush
immediately after cooking is completed and the flame is turned off. Wear a heat-
protective barbecue mitt to protect your hands from the heat and steam. Dip a
brass bristle barbecue brush in tap water and scrub the hot grates. Dip the
brush frequently in tap water. Steam, created as water comes in contact with
the hot Side Burner, helps loosen food particles stuck in the Side Burner.
These food particles will either get burned or fall into the cleaning pan.
Cleaning of the Side Burner would be longer and more difficult if the Side
Burner grates were allowed to cool before cleaning.
BURNER CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
- Burners are made of heavy gauge brass and can be cleaned using a bristle brush, warm water, and soap. Check every porthole for clogs. Use a wire pin to clean out clogged pores. Make sure the burner is dry before installing it back to the Side Burner.
- The drip pan collects grease, liquid, and fallen food particles. Allow the pan and its contents to cool before cleaning. Slide the pan out and wipe it clean. Make sure the drip pan is fully inserted back into the Side Burner. It is highly recommended to clean the pan after every use to avoid any possibility of a grease fire. DO NOT use the Side Burner without the drip pan pushed to the back of the Side Burner unit.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE LIGHTING THE SIDE BURNER
- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT THE SIDE BURNER IF YOU SMELL GAS.
- WARNING! THE GAS BURNERS MUST BE PROPERLY INSTALLED WITH THEIR ORIFICES INSIDE THE BURNERS AIR SHUTTERS. If not properly installed, gas may leak outside of the burner which could lead to fire, potential damage to your Side Burner, and bodily injury.
Inspect the gas supply piping or hose before turning the gas ON. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced before use. The replacement pressure regulator and hose assembly must be the type specified by the manufacturer. Do not use the Side Burner if the odor of gas is present. The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the units must be used. If the unit is LP, screw the regulator and hand tighten to the valve of the cylinder and leak check the hose and regulator connections with a soap and water solution before operating the Side Burner. Make sure you always read about LEAK PREVENTION. Always keep your face and body as far away as possible when lighting. Refer to spider and insect warnings and procedures under the cleaning and maintenance page of this manual.
FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY!
ASSEMBLY & LIGHTING
- Remove all packing materials.
- Ensure that the burners are positioned securely on their orifices.
- Place grates in the proper location over burners.
- Connect gas using the proper gas regulator.
- Open the gas supply shut-off valve.
- Push in the knob to the left wait a few seconds and then click the flame-thrower ignition system to ignite. If the igniter does not light turn to the right and OFF position, verify that the gas is on and then try again.
- Once you see or hear a flame you can adjust the burner to the desired position.
CAUTION:
If ignition does not take place within a few clicks, turn the knob to the OFF
position, wait for five minutes, and repeat step 2.
Match/BBQ Lighter Lighting Instructions:
The burners can be lit manually using a lighted long match, taper, or long BBQ
lighter.
- Push and turn the knob counterclockwise past the “CLICK” position. Hold the knob pushed in for 5 seconds.
- Insert a lit match or BBQ lighter through the grates and near the top of the burner. Once you see or hear a flame you can release the knob.
Important:
If the burner fails to light within 5 seconds, turn off the gas and wait 5
minutes before repeating the process.
Warning:
If you smell gas, shut off the gas supplies and immediately check for leaks
using the soapy water technique.
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 counterclockwise. 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 an explosion, personal injury, or death.
ALWAYS WAIT 5 MINUTES BEFORE RE-LIGHTING A HOT BURNER!
NOTE
Improper lighting procedures can cause the flow control to activate, resulting
in reduced heat output. If this is suspected, shut off all burner controls and
cylinder valves. Wait 30 seconds, then very slowly re-open the cylinder valve.
Wait an additional 5 seconds before turning the burner control knob and
attempting to light it.
LIQUID PROPANE INSTALLATION
NOTE:
Ventilation is required 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.
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 before use.
Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when
lighting.
- LP gas Side Burner models are designed for use with a standard 20 lb. liquid propane gas (LP) tank with type (1) valve connections. (Not included) Never connect your gas grill to an LP tank that exceeds this capacity. A tank of approximately 12 inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches high is the maximum size LP gas tank to use. 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 by 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 an upright position and away from excessive heat.
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
CONNECTING TO A SIDE BURNER
You will need a ‘T’ adapter fitting (not provided) or a similar connection to
