Installation; Locating Outdoor Appliance/Built-In Clearances - DCS BFG-30BS Use And Care & Installation Manual

INSTALLATION
LOCATING OUTDOOR APPLIANCE/BUILT-IN CLEARANCES
LOCATION:
When determining a suitable location, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind (If located in a
windy area, a wind break must be provided to prevent poor burner performance or product damage.), proximity
to traffic paths and keeping any gas or electrical supply lines as short as possible. Locate the outdoor appliance
only in a well ventilated area. Do not install the outdoor appliance under overhead unprotected combustible
construction. Never locate the outdoor appliance ina building, garage, breezeway, shed, gazebo, lanai or other
such enclosed areas without an approved ventilation system. During heavy use, the outdoor appliance will
produce a lot of smoke and flames. Ensure there is adequate area for it to dissipate.
Important!
Gas fittings, regulator, and installer supplied shut-off valves must be used and easily accessible.
Clearances to Combustible* Construction
(see definition on page 9):
A minimum of12" from the sides and a minimum of 12" from the back must be maintained from the outdoor
appliance above the cooking surface to adjacent vertical combustible* construction. (Fig. 01) Do not install
under unprotected combustible* construction.

Important!
All outdoor appliances must have an insulated jacket to combustible island construction.
Clearances to Noncombustible** Construction
(see definition on page 9):
A minimum of 3" clearance from the back of the outdoor appliance to noncombustible** construction is
required. It is desirable to allow at least 6" side clearance to noncombustible** construction above the cooking
surface or counter space. The outdoor appliance can be placed directly adjacent to noncombustible**
construction below the cooking surface.
WARNING!
Failure to maintain required clearances creates a fire hazard that may result in property damage or serious personal
injury.
WARNING!
If a Noncombustible** material such as metal is covering a combustible material such as wood, the minimum clear-
ance distance needs to be held to the wood. The presence of a Noncombustible** material inside the clearance zone
does not eliminate the minimum clearance zone to combustible material.
