Installation
General Overview
WARNING:
THIS GRILL IS DESIGN CERTIFIED FOR
USE OUTDOORS ONLY. THIS GRILL SHOULD NOT BE
USED IN A BUILDING, GARAGE OR OTHER
ENCLOSED AREA AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE
ON RECREATIONAL VEHICLES OR BOATS.
WARNING:
THIS OUTDOOR COOKING GAS
APPLIANCE SHALL NOT BE USED UNDER
OVERHEAD COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION.
Sterling FR and Sterling G-Series FR grills are designed
to be built-in using a permanent masonry or other suitable
patio fixture, or for mounting onto a mobile cabinet base.
See Appendix A and B for complete build-in
specifications. Figure 1, page 4, shows the minimum
required clearance of a mobile grill to any adjacent
combustible construction.
Permanent Installation
If you are installing your grill as a build-in, it should be
located so the ventilation openings remain clear of all
obstructions. THE OPENINGS ARE LOCATED IN
THE FRONT AT THE SURFACE AND IN THE
UNDERSIDE OF THE GRILL HOUSING, AS WELL
AS AT THE REAR OF THE HOOD. Any accumulation
of debris will restrict the flow of combustion and /or
ventilation air, and may result in improper burner
operation or overheating. Installation procedures relating
to gas connections for permanent installations can be
found in the Gas Connection section, starting at page 7 of
this manual. A TEC specified regulator is required for
operation of this grill. Build-in opening specifications
can be found in Appendix A and B of this manual.
The installation of your grill must conform to local codes
or, in absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. In Canada, the installation must
conform to local codes and/or the Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.1.
Hazardous Locations and
Conditions
g When cooking, keep your grill at least twenty-four
(24) inches away from combustible or distortable
surfaces (wood, vinyl wall or wooden railing, etc.)
Do not place grill under combustible material (i.e.
wood, canvas, thatch, plastic, etc.).
g Do not block the flow of combustion and ventilation
air.
g Only use your grill outside in a well-ventilated area.
Do not cook in a building, garage, or other enclosed
area.
g Keep flammable substances away from the grill,
including aerosols and aerosol containers, gasoline
and similar liquids, paper and paper products,
containers of grease, paint, etc.
