open) and 4" clearance on all sides.
Fig. 6-1 - Ventilation
ENSURING PROPER AIRFLOW
Proper airfl ow (Fig. 6-1 and Fig. 6-2) MUST be maintained for the grill to perform as it was designed. If
airfl ow is blocked, overheating will result. Do not block the 1" (2.5 cm) front air inlet along the bottom of
the control panel or more than 75% of the cooking grid surface with pans or griddles.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the grill with air blowing into or across the rear oven lid vent (Fig. 6-3).
This can cause poor performance and/or dangerous overheating. Orient the grill so that any
prevailing wind blows against the front of the grill (Fig. 6 -1 and Fig. 6-2).
WARNING: NEVER cover the entire cooking or grill surface with griddles or pans.
Overheating of the electronic components will occur.
