Location Planning - Saber Compact EZ R Series Product Manual

LOCATION PLANNING

The following should be considered when determining
where to place your new EZ Outdoor Kitchen. It is best
to identify the location of the kitchen prior to beginning
any set up. The kitchen must be installed and leveled
in its final location.
WARNING
Moving the outdoor kitchen enclosure after
components are installed is not advised as serious
damage or injury may occur.
Never attempt to lift the kitchen by the counter
top with components installed as serious damage
or injury may occur.
Plan for easy access to the house considering weather
conditions like frequent rain or snow that would make it more
convenient to have the kitchen located close to an entryway.
Be sure to allow space for entertaining around the sides of the
kitchen as it will become a gathering area during outdoor events.
Ventilation is a key to the kitchen performance and smoke
exhaust should be considered when identifying a location.
The grill will smoke so consider the prevailing wind direction
and position the grill so wind blows toward the front of the grill
to move the smoke away and provide adequate airflow.
Do not place the grill under or near windows that may be
opened to your house as smoke will enter easily.
CAUTION
Wind blowing into or across the rear grill lid vent can
cause poor performance and/or dangerous overheating.
Position the outdoor kitchen so that prevailing winds
blow towards the front of the grill.

Foundation for the Kitchen
A solid and level foundation is necessary for the installation of the
EZ Outdoor Kitchen. Damage caused by inadequate or improper
foundation support is not covered by the warranty. It is the
responsibility of the owner to provide a proper foundation for the
kitchen. The best solution for your kitchen foundation is to make
a concrete slab. The slab will eliminate problems with level,
stability, and eliminate sagging over time. This will also allow you
to plan the locations for the gas, electrical, and any drainage for
the kitchen. If you have a solid surface area, the leveling feet can
be used to ensure the kitchen is level. It is not recommended to
install the kitchen on natural surfaces like gravel, sand, timbers,
dirt, or grass as these may become unstable or uneven over
time. If the kitchen is not leveled correctly the panels may be
misaligned and it will be difficult to correct once the assembly is
complete. Once assembly is completed the kitchen should not be
moved. The kitchen can be installed on a deck provided it is
rated to support the full weight of your kitchen, grill, and all
accessories. The weight of 500 lbs can be used for this
evaluation. If you are unsure, have a contractor or structural
engineer examine your deck to determine whether it can bear the
load.
The image below details the actual dimensions of the outdoor
kitchen base and counter top. Dimensions are the same for both
the I series kitchen (with ice chest) and R series kitchen (with

The image below shows the suggested locations for your natural
gas and electrical stub-ups at the rear of the kitchen. This allows
the gas line to pass through the grommet in the rear panel.
An electrical extension cord can pass through the grommet or the
