m WARNING: The structure, countertops,

noncombustible materials only.
Positioning Your Grill
When determining a suitable location for your grill
installation, give thought to concerns such as exposure
to wind, proximity to trac paths, and keeping any gas
supply lines as short as possible. Never locate the grill
in a garage, breezeway, or shed, under an unprotected
overhang, or in any other enclosed area. The grill
must not be installed under overhead combustible
construction. Position the grill and structure so there
is enough room to safely evacuate the area in case of
a fire.
• For Built-in outdoor cooking gas appliances:
If appliance is installed under overhead combustible con-
struction, the appliance must be installed in conjunction
with a suitable UL 710- or ULC S646- approved heavy duty
vent hood only. The vent hood must be in operation when
the grill is in use.
Clearance From Combustible Materials
Clearance dimensions indicate the minimum allowable
distance from the edge of the grill to any combustible
materials.
The cut-out structure, countertops, and adjacent work
areas for the Built-In grill installation must be built
from noncombustible materials only.
NOTE: If you have questions on which materials are
considered noncombustible, contact your local building
materials supplier or fire department.
Clearance From Noncombustible Materials
If your installation is to be adjacent to walls, only
noncombustible materials must be used.
The cut-out structure, countertops, and adjacent
work areas for the built-in grill installation must be
constructed from noncombustible materials only.
NOTE: If you have questions on which materials are
considered noncombustible, contact your local building
materials supplier or fire department.
