Before You Start; If Shipment Arrives Damaged; Important Notes - Viking VQGI5301 Installation Manual

BEFORE YOU START

WARNING
• Never install this product into a combustible enclosure without an insulated jacket. Doing so could result in fi re, 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.
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE
WHERE'S THE WIND?
When selecting a suitable location, consider important factors g
such as exposure to the wind and foot-traffi c 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 airfl ow.
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, k
as well as wind blowing along the hood gap.
Be sure wind doesn't blow into the hood gap.

6 INSTALLATION / USE & CARE
If damage is unnoticed until the grill is unpacked, notify the
transportation company or carrier immediately and fi le 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.)

IMPORTANT NOTES

HOW LONG IS YOUR RUN?
p 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 aff ects 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 ineffi cient,
uneven heating. A carpenter's spirit level should be used to level
the grill both front-to-back and side-to-side.
If the fl oor is uneven or has a decided slope, re-leveling may be
required each time you move a freestanding unit.
