Quick Start Guide
3-Installation
Refer to the INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS section of your grill owner’s manual
for complete details.
CAUTION: Wind blowing into or across the rear oven lid vent (Fig. 3-1)
can cause poor performance and/or dangerous overheating.
Orient the grill so that the prevailing wind blows toward the
front of the grill (Fig. 3-2).
CAUTION: To prevent dangerous overheating, the rear of the unit must have a
minimum clearance of 4” from any non-combustible wall.
CAUTION: WHEN INSTALLING AND OPERATING THIS APPLIANCE, ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS IN
YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL MUST BE OBSERVED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A FIRE
OR EXPLOSION CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR DEATH.
This grill must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances, or, in the absence of local codes, with either the latest National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54), and Natural Gas and Propane Storage and Handling Installation Code (CSA-B149.1).
This appliance and its individual shutoff valves must be disconnected from the gas-supply piping system when testing the system at pressures in excess of ½ psig.
This appliance must be isolated from the gas-supply piping system by closing its dedicated manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas-supply
system at pressures up to and including ½ psig.
This grill is designed for outdoor use only. DO NOT use this grill inside a building, garage, or enclosed area (see paragraph below). DO NOT use this grill
in or on a recreational vehicle or boat.
A minimum 5 foot clearance is required between the cooking surface and the overhead construction. When installed under combustible overhead construction,
the area above the cooking surface of the grill must be covered with an exhaust hood. The exhaust hood provides the protection for the combustible overhead
construction. DO NOT use this appliance under unprotected combustible overhead construction. When installed under overhead non-combustible construction,
an exhaust hood is highly recommended. When using an exhaust hood: the area above the cooking surface of the grill must be covered with a hood larger than
the cooking area of the grill, and with a minimum of 1200 CFM (cubic feet per minute) for proper outdoor application.
2-Unpacking
Carefully unpack the grill, removing all packing material and protective film (including the clear
film on the drip tray). Verify that all parts have arrived undamaged by consulting the parts
list in the owner’s manual. Remove foam packed hardware from oven area. (See Fig. 2-1.)
Consult the parts list in the owner’s manual. If any parts are missing or damaged, immediately
contact the AOG dealer before beginning installation.

These quick start instructions assume a patio mount installation with a natural gas or household propane configuration. See main instructions
for propane cylinder and/or in-ground post installation.
Note: This section is only an overview of installation to the gas supply. Refer to the grill owner’s manual for complete grill installation details.
To route flex connector through rear of post, unscrew and carefully open the access plate on the rear of the post using a medium Phillips-head screwdriver.
Retain the screws. Remove the knock-out disk at the bottom right of the access plate with a large flathead screwdriver. Remove the plastic grommet (attached
to the flex connector) and insert it into the newly created opening. Then route the flex connector through the opening. See Fig. 3-3. Turn OFF the gas supply
at the source. Then connect the flex connector to the gas-supply. Use pipe joint compound that is resistant to all gasses on the male pipe fittings except
flare fittings.
Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position. Turn the gas supply on. Then carefully check all gas connections for leaks with a brush and half-soap/half-
water solution before lighting. NEVER USE A MATCH OR OPEN FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS.
Proper grill airflow must be maintained as shown in Fig. 3-4. Do not block the 1" front air inlet. It is not necessary to remove the control panel or knobs
for installation.
Connect Gas supply
Route Power Supply Cord
Remove the knock-out disc at the bottom left of the
access plate with a large flathead screwdriver. Remove
the plastic power cord bushing attached to the power
cord, then feed the power cord through the newly created
hole. Install the bushing onto the power cord and slide
the bushing up against the access plate knock-out hole
and snap into place. See Fig. 3-3.
