INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS (cont.)
The control panel MUST remain removable for
servicing and air shutter adjustment (see PARTS
LIST).
ENSURE PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND
COOLING AIRFLOW
Proper airfl ow (Fig. 11-1) MUST be maintained
for the grill to perform as it was designed. If airfl ow
is blocked, overheating and poor combustion will
result. Do not block the 1" front air inlet along the
bottom of the control panel or more than 75% of
the cooking grid surface
with pans or griddles.
Note: The 1" (2.5 cm)
front air space
a l s o a l l o w s
access to the drip
tray.
EXHAUST REMOVAL
If the grill is installed under an overhead structure that
is constructed of non-combustible material: an exhaust
hood is recommended. See below.
If the grill is installed under an overhead structure that is
constructed of combustible material: an exhaust hood is
required. See below.
Note: An alternative to an exhaust removing vent
hood is an RHP combustible overhead
protection kit. See previous page.
When using an exhaust hood:
The cooking grid area must be covered by an exhaust
hood (with a vent) larger than the cooking surface. Refer
to manufacturer specifi cations. An exhaust fan with a
rating of 1,000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) (472 liters
per second) or more may be necessary to effectively
remove smoke and other cooking by-products from the
area under the hood. RHP Vent Hoods are available,
contact your local dealer.
THIS UNIT MUST NOT BE LOCATED IN A FULLY
ENCLOSED AREA OF ANY KIND.
CAUTION: Wind blowing into or across the rear
oven lid vent (Fig. 11-2) can cause
poor performance and/or dangerous
overheating. Orient the grill so that the
prevailing wind blows toward the front
of the grill (Fig. 11-3).
GAS SUPPLY AND MANIFOLD PRESSURES:
For natural gas - normal 7" (17.78 cm) water
column (w.c.), minimum 5" (12.7 cm), maximum 10
1 /
2
" (26.7 cm). For propane gas - normal 11" w.c.,
minimum 10" (25.4 cm), maximum 13" (33 cm).
GAS SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
For natural gas or a household propane system, rigid
1 /
2
", o r 3 /
4
" black steel pipe, or local code approved
pipe, is required to conduct the gas supply to the
unit. An outdoor approved fl exible connector can
be used to connect your household gas supply to
the grill. DO NOT use a rubber hose within the
enclosure for the grill . Apply only joint compounds
that are resistant to all gasses on all male pipe
fi ttings. Make sure to tighten every joint securely.
Note: If 1 /
2
" pipe is used with natural gas, it
should be no longer than 20'.
An external valve (with a removable key) in the
gas line is necessary for safety when the grill
is not in use. It also provides for convenient
maintenance.
