Viking VQGI5541 Installation / Use and Care Instructions - Page 6

BEFORE YOU START WARNING • Never install this product into a combustible enclosure without an insulated jacket. Doing so could result in fire, property damage and personal injury. • Never locate the grill under a roof or overhang, in a building, garage, shed or other such enclosed area. • Never locate the grill under unprotected combustible construction. • Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2, in Canada. IF SHIPMENT ARRIVES DAMAGED VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE Be certain any visible damage to the carton is noted on freight bill or express receipt and signed by the person making delivery. FILE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES IMMEDIATELY, regardless of extent of damage. If damage is unnoticed until the grill is unpacked, notify the transportation company or carrier immediately and file a "concealed damage" claim with them. This should be done within (15) days of the date delivery is made to you. Be sure to hold on to the container for inspection. We cannot assume responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit. (See INDEX: "Obtaining Service" for further details.) CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE IMPORTANT NOTES WHERE'S THE WIND? HOW LONG IS YOUR RUN? When selecting a suitable location, consider important factors such as exposure to the wind and foot-traffic patterns. If you have a freestanding grill, position it so the prevailing wind blows into the front control panel (at your back when grilling), supporting the proper front-to-rear airflow. Built-in grills located in areas with prevailing winds should be protected by a wind barrier. Winds hitting the back of the grill directly may cause problems, as well as wind blowing along the hood gap. Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible because gas lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow and tee that is added. This drop in pressure affects grill performance. (See INDEX: "Gas Supply Line Runs" for further details.) ARE YOU "ON-THE-LEVEL"? Proper leveling during installation is critical. A grill that is out of level will cause erratic burner combustion and inefficient, uneven heating. A carpenter's spirit level should be used to level the grill both front-to-back and side-to-side. If the floor is uneven or has a decided slope, re-leveling may be required each time you move a freestanding unit. Be sure wind doesn't blow into the hood gap. |6 INSTALLATION / USE & CARE
