BEFORE YOU START
WARNING
· Never install this product into a combustible enclosure without an insulated
jacket. Doing so could result in fire, property damage and personal injury.
· Never locate the grill under an uprotected roof or overhang, in a building,
garage, shed or other such enclosed area.
· Never locate the grill under unprotected combustible construction. ·
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, Natural Gas and propane Installation Code, CSA
B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2, in Canada.
IF SHIPMENT ARRIVES DAMAGED
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE Be certain any visible damage to the carton is noted on
freight bill or express receipt and signed by the person making delivery. FILE
CLAIM FOR DAMAGES IMMEDIATELY, regardless of extent of damage.
IMPORTANT NOTES
HOW LONG IS YOUR RUN? Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible because
gas lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow and tee that is
added. This drop in pressure affects grill performance. (See: “Gas Supply Line
Runs” for further details.)
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE
If damage is 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 date delivery is made to you. Be
sure to hold on to the container for inspection. We cannot assume
responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit. (See: “Obtaining
Service from Lynx” for further details.)
ARE YOU “ON THE LEVEL”?
Proper leveling during installation is critical. A grill that is out of level
will cause erratic burner combustion and ine cient, uneven heating. A
carpenter’s spirit level should be used to level the grill both front-to-back
and side-to-side.
BUILT-IN INSTALLATIONS
The Lynx Built-In Grill is designed for easy installation into masonry
enclosures.
NOTE: Lynx built-in grills are intended either for installation in a built-in
enclosure constructed of non-combustible materials or for an installation in a
built in enclosure constructed of combustible material when installed with a
Lynx insulating jacket (LIJ).
For non-combustible applications, the grill drops into the opening shown in
the cutout detail drawing (See: “Gas Requirements”) and hangs from its
counter-top trim. A deck is not required to support it from the bottom.
When using the insulated jacket in a combustible enclosure, the jacket must be
supported from the bottom by a ledge on each side or a full deck beneath the
jacket.
(See: “Gas Requirements”) Pay special attention to the provisions shown for
gas line hook-up.
The enclosure should have ventilation holes to prevent gas build-up in the
event of a leak. The deck ledges and counter should be flat and level. (refer
to ANSI Z21.58 Standard for Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliances, Section 1.7
Enclosures For Self Contained LP-Gas Supply Systems).
This grill requires that a 120 volt, 60 hertz, 15 amp GFI certified outlet be
installed by a qualified electrician.

UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY
The grill arrives nearly ready to use and requires only minor assembly.
By carefully following the uncrating and unpacking steps, you will improve the
customer’s first Lynx experience.
Shipping weight on smaller units is app. 300 pounds and larger units may weigh
over 500 pounds.
One way to safely move the grill off of the pallet is by lifting one end of the grill high enough to place a ramp under the wheel and then lift the other end while rolling the grill off of the pallet.
WARNING EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD
Use two or more people to move or install this unit. Failure to follow this
instruction can result in back or other personal injuries.
CRATE & CARTON
IMPORTANT! Do not remove staples around the top of the carton. These staples
hold a wooden pallet in place inside the carton that protects the unit from
damage. Removing these staples may cause the pallet to fall on the top of
grill.
How to Remove the Carton
· Cut the main strap holding the grill to the pallet. · Remove the staples at
the bottom of the carton. · Liftoff thecarton. There is a pallet over the
grill for hood
protection. · With assistance, remove the grill from the pallet and

When pushing, lifting, or pulling a freestanding Lynx Grill across gravel,
grass, pavers, brick, stone, imperfections in the surface, or wood slatted
decks be cautious and move slowly or use a carpet dolly. Failure to do so may
damage the structure of the cart which will not be covered under warranty.
INTERIOR PACKING
Lynx uses sturdy tie-down cables and straps to ensure your grill arrives at
your home in the same condition that it left our factory. BE SURE YOU HAVE
REMOVED ALL TIE DOWNS BEFORE USING YOUR GRILL.
· Cut and remove ties from the burner partition of the Trident TM burner.
· Ensure that all burners are properly seated on the burner valve orifice and
sitting level with the legs in the frame slots and no side-to-side movement.
The wheels sit down in the gaps of the shipping crate so that the grill can sit safely and solidly on the crate during shipping. The grill cannot be slid directly off of the pallet.

GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING
NEVER CONNECT A GAS LINE DIRECTLY TO THE GRILL. A PRESSURE REGULATOR MUST BE
INSTALLED ON ALL GAS EQUIPMENT. ALL LOCAL CODES REQUIRE IT AND LYNX SUPPLIES
THE CORRECT REGULATOR WITH YOUR GRILL. REMOVING OR FAILING TO INSTALL THE
PRESSURE REGULATOR CAN RESULT IN FIRE AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL
VOID THE WARRANTY
The grill is factory set to use either propane (LP) or natural gas (NAT). It is critical that the gas you use matches that which the grill was set up for. You can verify that by checking the rating plate
The Rating plate lists serial numbers, model numbers and gas type . This one is underneath the drip tray.
The rating plate is located in one or more of the following places: · Attached to the underside of the stainless steel cover · On the care and use manual
Ensure that the gas supplied meets with the minimum pressure requirements. Do not operate the grill on any gas other than that for which the grill has been set.

Canada.
Lynx recommends that only qualified professionals
1p0e|rUfosrem&tChaerere/qIunsirteadllaptilounmbing on this product.
NATURAL GAS
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 an inlet pipe less than 3/4″ inside diameter or 1″ outside
diameter ever be used to connect this product.
· Calculate the total BTU output of all equipment and refer to ” Gas Supply
Line Runs” for allowable run distances for
· ¾ inch pipe. Failure to meet these minimum requirements may reduce
performance of the grill and any other appli
· ances running on that supply line. · Always keep supply line runs as short
as possible.
(See: “BTU Output” for specific model outputs) · A gas shut-off valve must be
installed in an easily
accessible location,away from the grill and island location by a qualified
plumber. · Keep threading compound off of the first two pipe threads to avoid
having any small pieces of compound break loose and clog a burner valve or
orifice. Do not use threading compound on any flare fittings.
For built-in installations, it is recommended that any flexible pipe used be
kept as short as possible. (See: “Gas Connections” for typical permanent hook
up.)
Keep last two threads clean
GAS CONNECTIONS con’t
For freestanding units using natural gas, Lynx recommends using a mobile flex
gas line. Always keep the line away from the firebox.
This is available at your local hardware store or from your dealer.
LP GAS Grills set up for LP gas come equipped with an LP hose/ regulator
assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder. (Type 1). All
fittings necessary to attach the assem bly to the grill are included.
WARNING
Do not change the regulator/hose assembly or use any other assembly than the
one supplied with your Lynx grill.
Do not attempt to use a SLP-A equipped regulator/ hose assembly with a
standard 510 POL cylinder/valve assembly.
Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full. If the information above is
not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
LP cylinder with type 1 valve connection
Permanently plumbed LP connections, such as those in line with a bulk
cylinder, require a 4/11 regulator. (Lynx P/N 30781)
When using the 4/11 regulator you must ensure that it is set for the proper
fuel type. This is done by removing the regulator cap and gasket and looking
at the bottom of the plunger to see what fuel type is visible. This is the
regula tor fuel setting. NAT is for natural gas and LP is for propane gas. The
LP setting can be further identified by the large diameter disk on the bottom
of the plunger. To change from one gas to the other simply push the plunger to
the side to snap it out of the cap, turn the plunger so it reads the desired
gas type on the bottom, and push the plunger until it snaps back into place in
the cap then replace the cap into the regulator.
Never connect an unregulated gas line to the grill.
LP CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in
accor dance 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.
Cylinders of free standing grills must be secured using the provided cylinder
retention system to avoid accidental movement.
When exchanging your cylinder for a refill, exhange only for a Type 1 2016
cylinder with an over-fill protection device.
Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve.
Always check for leaks after every LP cylinder change. (See : “Leak Test” for
further details.).
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.

FINAL CHECKS
DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard, DO NOT smoke or allow any potential
source of ignition (sparks, electrical arcing, etc) in the area while
performing a leak test. Leak tests should be conducted outdoors only. Never
conduct a leak test using fire or flame.
LEAK TEST PROCEDURE
· Create a soapy solution of 1 part soap and 3 parts water.
· Confirm that all control knobs are in the off position. · Turn on the fuel
supply. For natural gas, turn the valve
handle 1/ 4 turn to align with the gas flow. · For L.P., turn the cylinder
valve knob counter
clockwise one full rotation. · Apply the soap solution generously by paint
brush or
squirt bottle on all connections and fittings. · If bubbles appear to “grow”
on any of the
connections, you have a gas leak. IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas supply.
FIXING A GAS LEAK
· Shutoff the gas supply · Turn all grill controls to the “ON” position to
purge
the grill of any gas build-up, then turn the controls back “OFF”. · Wash off
the soapy solution with cold water and dry. · Tighten the loose joint, or
replace the faulty part with manu factu rer-recommended replacement parts. ·
DO NOT attempt to repair the L.P. cylinder valve if it · is damaged. The only
way to safely resolve a damaged cylinder is to REPLACE IT. · Repeat the leak
test to ensure that no leaks are present.
NOTE: The Trident TM does not have an air shutter. The appearance of the
Trident TM burner should be visually checked. The ceramic tiles should be
uniformly red to orange in appearance. There should be no lifting, fluttering

PRE-GRILL CHECKLIST
COLD WEATHER WARNING: PROPANE
Extremely cold temperatures may cause your Trident TM burners to light inside
the burners instead of outside. Once lit, if you hear a `whooshing’ sound,
immediately turn the burner knobs off to extinguish the flame and then
immediately re-light the burners.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE
There are a few must-check safety precautions to consider before you use your
grill. Please be sure that: · All packing materials and tie-downs have been
removed from the burners. (See: “Unpacking & Assembly” for further details.) ·
You have fuel connected. (See: “Gas Requirements” for · _fucther details.) ·
-ou have electric connected. (See: “Electric Requirements” for further
details.) · A qualified plumber has performed a leak test on all the fittings
that supply fuel to your grill.
AT EACH NEW SEASON
At the start of each new grilling season you should check the burners,
venturis, orifices and valves for obstructions. Spiders and insects often nest
in these areas of the grill and can disrupt air flow, causing damage to the
grill and personal injury.
Also, check all hoses and fittings for damage, abrasion, wear and tear.
BEFORE EACH USE
Before any use, always make sure that: · … you do not smell gas before you
light the grill. If
you do smell gas, shut everything off and have a qualified plumber check for
leaks. · … the cooking area is free and clear of any combustibles, besides
your food, that might ignite. · … the control knobs turn freely. · … if you
are using a portable propane cylinder, it is securely connected and leak
tested. (See: “LP Cylinder Requirements” for details.) · … you know where the
main gas supply shut-off is located. · … the burners are seated properly in
the grill. The main burners must sit level and firmly on the burner mounting
support frame. (See: “Unpacking & Assembly” for further details.)
LIGHTING YOUR GRILL
WARNING
1. Never attempt to light a burner if you smell gas. 2. NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL
UNATTENDED WHILE THE GRILL IS LIT.
ELECTRIC IGNITION 1. Before each use, compleie the checklist above. 2. Remove
the cover. 3. Make sure all burner control knobs are in the OFF position. 4.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE REVIEW THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL.
1. NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING
2. Ensure all zip ties have been removed from the burners.
3. Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments or long sleeves while grilling. They
could ignite.
4. Never touch the grill surface or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with
your bare hands while grilling.
5. Use an insulated glove or mitt when operating the grill. 6. Do not heat
unopened food containers as pressure
build-up will cause the container to explode. 7. Inspect the LP hose before
each use. If the hose
shows excessive wear or abrasion, or the hose is cut it must be replaced with
a hose assembly available from Lynx Grills. 8. Never use charcoal or any other
solid fuel in the grill. 9. Cooking excessively fatty meats and oils will
cause splattering. Any damage caused as a result or by the grill being left
unattended while cooking are not covered under the terms and conditions of our
warranty. 10. Never grill without the drip pans in place. Always ensure the
drip pan is pushed all the way to the back of the grill. Hot grease can leak
downward and produce a fire or explosion. 11. Grease is extremely flammable.
Let hot grease cool down before attempting to handle or dispose of it. The
drip tray should be cleaned of grease on a regular basis. 12. Do not use the
grill unless a leak check has been performed on all gas connections. (See:
“Leak Test Procedure” for further details.) 13. Never operate the grill while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs. 14. Do not lean on side shelves and
never place a load weighing more than 25 pounds on a side shelf. 15. If any
burner does not light or goes out during operation, turn off all gas control
knobs, and wait five 16. (5) minutes before attempting to re-light. 17.
Portable L.P. cylinders: Always shut off the main valve on the L.P. cylinder
after each use. Spiders and insects like to nest in the burners, venturis,
valves and orifices of a grill, disrupting the gas flow. This very dangerous
condition can cause a fire behind the control panel, damaging the grill and
risking personal injury. If your grill has been unused for a long time,
inspect and clean the burners, venturis, valves and orifices.
WARNING
DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED DURING THE PRE-HEAT CYCLE OR AT ANY TIME
WHILE THE GRILL IS IN USE.
WARNING
DO NOT ALLOW EXCESS GREASE OR LIQUIDS TO ACCUMULATE IN THE DRIP TRAY AS THIS
MAY CREATE A FIRE HAZARD. NEVER USE GRILL WITHOUT DRIP TRAY PROPERLY
INSTALLED.

BASIC GRILLING
PRE-HEATING
Pre-heating your grill every time you use it is extremely important. Pre-
heating allows the griddle to properly heat up, providing more even and more
consistent cooking results. Pre-heat your grill by igniting all main burners,
and setting them to the desired cooking temperature.
NOTE: Only heat the grill to the maximum setting when you plan on cooking at
that temperature. Once heated, the grill will retain heat for long time. Set
the temperature for your desired food items. The temperature controller
indicator lights will turn off when the grill reaches the temperature set
point.
COOKING ON THE GRIDDLE PLATE
1. Push in the Pow er/Shutoff button. The BLUE burner knob lights will show
that the grill is energized
2. Turn the knob clockwise to the desired position. The
3. indicator lights will glow until the grill reaches the temperature set
point. The indicator lights and burners will cycle OF and ON under normal
operation to maintain the temperature setting.

CLEANING YOUR GRILL (Including Required Maintenance)
STAINLESS STEEL
Lynx products are known for their attractive appearance. We achieve this by
selecting only the finest grades of stainless steel and applying exacting
workmanship. In order to maintain this attractive appearance over the life of
the grill it is important to take the following steps:
· After each use wipe down the exterior of the grill to remove grease and
splatters.
· Be sure to follow the cleaning instructions for keeping the grates and
burners clean and ready for use.
· 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.
Part of the appeal of your Lynx Grill is the fine grain finish. 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 your Lynx 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. Ensure your Lynx products are well protected
before you allow the use of such chemicals near your grill.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR LOCATIONS NEAR POOLS AND COASTAL AREAS:
The 304 stainless steel material used in the construction of a Lynx Grill is
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
cloths such perform very 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. Products that provide a layer of vapor
corrosion inhibitors (VpCITM) protect the surface very well.
· For seasonal storage use the product referred to above, ensure the grill is
dry and then cover and secure the cover to minimize the amount of damp air
getting to the surfaces.
THE LYNX LIMITED LIFE TIME WARRANTY PROVIDES PROTECTION AGAINST RUST THROUGH
OF PARTS THAT RENDER THE PRODUCT INOPERATIVE. IT DOES NOT COVER OCCASIONAL
SURFACE RUST OR STAINING DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
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.
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray should be cleaned after each use. After the grill is completely
cool, remove the drip trays by tilting forward and up, lifting them out of
place. They can be wiped down with a paper towel and placed in a dishwasher
for cleaning.
*RATED FOR HIGH HEAT
PAINTED PARTS
Wash with warm soapy water. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, ammonia,
or cleaners containing acid. This may damage the finish.

CLEANING YOUR GRILL (Including Required Maintenance)
WARNING
1. Failure to perform required maintenance will void your warranty. 2. Scrape
the griddle plate and discard the residue. 3. Clean out the burner orifices
and ensure they are free of debris. 4. Clean the drip tray.
TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR LYNX GRILL
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE Please check a few things before calling for
service:
· Is there fuel supplied to the grill? · Is the main shut-off valve open? ·
Are you using the correct type of fuel? (LP or Natural Gas)(See:
“Gas Requirements” for further details.) · Is your propane cylinder empty?
Have you recently refilled the
propane cylinder? If so, is the connection tight? · Have you opened the valve
on the propane cylinder? · Is the grill plugged in to a live electric circuit?
· If you’ve checked the above items, review the potential problems
on the following pages before calling for Lynx for service.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
GRILL WILL NOT LIGHT First, confirm that the grill is getting electricity by
turning on the lights, then:
Check The lgniters Your Lynx grill uses an electric ignition system that does
not spark. Instead, the igniters will glow constantly when a control knob is
turned ON.
Check The Burners · Ensure that all burner controls are off.
Lift open the cooking surface. · Turn the burner knob ON and wait
approximately 1 minute for the
igniter to glow. · If the igniter fails to glow, proceed with troubleshooting.
If the igniters are working check to see if gas is reaching the burners by
attempting to match light a burner. · If match lighting doesn’t work, re-check
fuel connections for leaks and ensure the supply is of the correct type and is
of adequate pressure. (See: “Leak Test Procedure” for further details.) · If
the burner will light with a match, then the igniter may not be functioning
correctly. Call for service. · If the burner will not match light, and you
know you are getting gas, wait for any gas to dissipate and remove the burner
and check it for blockages.
SMELL OF GAS WHILE COOKNG IF YOU SMELL GAS WHILE THE GRILL IS OPERATING,
IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ALL BURNERS AND SHUT OFF THE MAIN FUEL SUPPLY. Perform a
leak test (See: “Leak Test Procedure” for further details.)
Use&Care / Installation | 21
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS con’t
GLOW OR INSUFFICIENT HEAT
Ensure that you’ve preheated the Trident TM burner for at least 10-15 minutes.
Proper leveling during installation is critical. A grill that is out of level
will cause erratic burner combustion and ine cient, uneven heating. A
carpenter’s spirit level should be used to level the grill both front-to-back
and side-to-side.
If the low heat problem persists: · Check the gas supply line sizing
requirements.
· Check the gas supply line for kinks or damage. Replace any damaged supply
lines.
· Check the regulator. Make sure that the regulator & hose assembly is the one
designed for and supplied with your Lynx grill and that it is correctly set up
for the type of fuel you are using. (See: “Regulator Conversion” for further
details.). The hose and regulator provided by Lynx must be used if your grill
is set-up for a portable LP Gas Cylinder. Ensure the LP hose is not behind the
firebox. Check that there is no physical pressure being applied to the
regulator attached to the back of the grill. The regulator contains a flexible
diaphragm and should not be allowed to touch the grill body or its
surroundings.
· Check for Obstructions. Ensure that the burners and drip tray are clean and
free from obstructions.
LP (Propane) units: · Is they cylinder almost empty? Almost-empty cylinders
may not have su cient pressure to run the burners at high heat.
· Have the line pressure checked by a qualified technician (See: “Gas
Requirements” for further details.)
· Flow Limiting Device. Improper lighting procedures may have activated the LP
cylinder’s flow control device, reducing the heat output.
To reset the flow control: · Shut off all burner controls and close the LP
cylinder
valve. · Wait 30 seconds and, very slowly, reopen the cylinder
valve. · Wait a few seconds and relite a burner.
Bulk LP cylinder users:
· Bulk LP cylinder lines must be properly regulated. · Ensure that you are
using a 4/11 appliance regulator
supplied by Lynx and converted to LP gas. Also ensure that you do not have
more than one regulator in line.
Natural Gas units: · Supply Line. Ensure that the supply line is at least
3/4″ inside diameter or 1″ outside diameter. · Ch3eck line pressure. Natural
gas inlet pressure
should be at least 7″ W.C. and manifold pressure not less than 4″ W.C. under
full load (with all burners on.) · Check burners for blockages.
LIGHTS WILL NOT ILLUMINATE · Check Power. Ensure that the grill is connected
to a
live AC power source and check for rotisserie motor operation.
If the grill is connected to live AC power and lights will not illuminate,
contact service.
