LOCATING AND ASSEMBLING THE SIDE BURNER
When determining a suitable location for your side burner, take into account concerns such as
exposure to wind, rain, sprinklers, proximity to traffic paths, and keeping any gas supply line runs
as short as possible.
EN
Locate the side burner only in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the side burner in a building,
garage, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas without an approved ventilation system.
Never locate the side burner over, under, or next to unprotected combustible construction.
Using the side burner in windy areas can disrupt the flame, especially on low or simmer settings.
This may cause nuisance sparking of the igniter. Relocate to a less windy area. If the side burner
is mounted in an enclosure (island), you may need to build a wind-break to avoid this issue in the
future.
When installing a side burner or other gas appliance into an enclosure (island), the enclosure
must be constructed with ventilation openings to avoid accumulation of gas should there be a
leak. See the INSTALLATION section of this manual for details. Keep the area underneath the
side burner free of debris.
Ensure all packaging, straps, etc. have been removed from the side burner. Remove any tie-down
wires from the burners.
Keep the area underneath the side burner free
of debris. If your side burner is mounted on a
cart, engage the brakes on the casters to prevent
movement of the cart.
Ensure that the burner cap is mounted correctly
on the burner ring. Do not operate the side burner
without the burner cap in place (see Fig. 1).

INSTALLATION
CLEARANCES:
TO NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION
A minimum of 4" (10 cm) clearance from the back of the side burner to non-combustible
construction is required.
TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION
This appliance may be installed over, under or next to unprotected combustible construction. A
minimum clearance to vertical combustible material is 12" (30 cm) on the sides and the rear of the
appliance.
The minimum vertical clearance to combustible materials means that ALL combustible materials
must be outside this 12" (30 cm) zone. As an example, if you have an island with a stucco or tiled
surface and wood-frame construction beneath, the wood is considered combustible, even though
the side burner is touching the stucco or tile surface, which is non-combustible. In extreme
circumstances, the wood could potentially get hot enough to burn.
VENTILATION OPENINGS
A minimum of three 10 in² (65 cm²) of ventilation openings must be provided for both left and
right sides of your enclosure (island), as well as the back. These openings are required to safely
dissipate gas vapors if there is a leak in your enclosure.
