Built-In Instructions
The Frigidaire Gallery Grill can be installed as a built-in grill. If installed as a built-in
grill, the outdoor cooking center must be constructed of non-combustible material.
PLANNING AND DESIGN
Start by identifying the number and size of components you want to include in your outdoor cooking center. Countertops
must be constructed of non-combustible, outdoor-safe materials. Consider outdoor lighting to illuminate after-dark
grilling. For assistance in designing and building your outdoor cooking center, contact a landscape architect or general
contractor. Review the drawings on the following pages to determine the exact dimensions and items needed for an
outdoor cooking center. Keep in mind that the gas line hook-up is on the right hand side of the main built in-grill. The
structure, grill and support items must be kept level throughout the installation to ensure proper operation.
LOCATION
Take into account convenience and visual impact as well as traffic flow, wind exposure, and the site’s structural suitability.
The grill should never be placed in an enclosed area without an approved ventilation system, or beneath a combustible
overhang. Because the grill exhausts to the rear, it should never be located in front of a window or less than 12” from
hard-to-clean surfaces. We recommend keeping your gas supply lines as short as possible for best performance. To
ensure a perfect fit, we strongly recommend that you have all components on hand prior to final construction.
CLEARANCE TO NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION
For your safety a minimum of 3” clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required. You
should allow at least 6” side clearance to non-combustible construction. The side vents on this unit can be covered for
built in installations without danger of fire or without impairing the operation of the grill
OUTBOARD IGNITER PLATE INSTALLATION (SEE DRAWING ON FOLLOWING PAGE)
The electronic igniters require a standard size deep electrical box, (available at a local hardware store), with a minimum
depth of 2.5” to be mounted in the structure. It should be placed on the right front or right side of the outdoor cooking
center, with the center of the igniter button no more than 3”-5” from the grill. The igniter plate (included with the built-in
grills) fits over the standard electrical box once mounted in the structure. (See drawing on following page). If there
is a ground wire for the igniter, it needs to be grounded to a metal structure in order for the igniter to work.
UTILITIES
For natural gas grills, consult your local gas utility company for hook-up requirements. All gas connections should be
made by a certified technician or a gas supply company. For natural gas installation, the supply line must be at least
1/2” diameter. The rotisserie requires a 110/120 volt electric supply and GFI receptacle. (6.5 amp min.) that should be
installed by a qualified electrical technician. If your plan includes a sink, arrange for a certified plumbing technician to
run a water line to the site.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The optional rotisserie kit is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and
should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong
from this plug.

Gas Requirements
GENERAL INFORMATION
Never attach an unregulated gas line to the appliance. Connection to an unregulated gas line can
cause excessive heat or fire.
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either Natural Gas (N.G.) or Liquid Propane (L.P.), and make sure the serial plate
agrees with that of the supply. Conversion kits are available separately for an additional cost which will enable you to convert
your grill from L.P. to N.G. or to convert your grill from N.G. to L.P. Please see your local dealer for more information.
NOTE: Always have a qualified service technician perform difficult conversions or modifications.
For natural gas installations, an installer must supply a gas shutoff valve that is easily accessible to the grill. All installer sup-
plied parts must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-
1990, and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1998.
All pipe sealants must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of L.P. gases. Never use pipe sealant on
flare fittings. All gas connections should be made by a competent qualified service technician and in accordance with local
codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1-1998. Gas conversions kits may be purchased separately. When ordering gas conversion kits, have the model num-
ber, and the type of gas (N.G. or L.P.) used for your grill.
This grill and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.).
This grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.).
The installation of this grill must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with National Fuel Code, ANSI
Z223.1a-1998.
Installation in Canada must be in accordance with the Standard Can1-b149.1 and or .2 (installation code for gas burning appli-
ances and equipment) and local codes.
NATURAL GAS INSTALLATION
The gas inlet supply pressure should be between 5” and 14” water column,(w.c.) A step down regulator is required
if the line pressure is in excess of 14” w.c. Inlet pressure must not exceed 14” water column (1/2 PSIG)
Check your local gas utility company or with local codes for instructions on installing gas supply lines. Be sure to
check on type and size of run, and how deep to bury the line. If the gas supply line is too small, the grill will not
operate correctly.
Any joint sealant used must be an approved type and be resistant to chemical breakdown resulting from the reaction with N.G.
Attach the natural gas regulator (supplied with your grill) to the brass fitting coming out the bottom, right side of the grill (be
sure the arrow on the regulator is pointing up towards the grill). Attach your gas line to the 3/8” flare fitting coming out of the
natural gas regulator under the grill.
NOTE: The gas line connection and the gas fitting must be the same diameter.
Installer supplied shut-off valve (not included) - Place the shut-off valve in an accessible location to enable the gas supply to be cut
off to the unit.
NOTE: A flexible natural gas line is not included with Frigidaire Gallery grills. Natural gas flex line must be purchased
separately based on the distance of your grill location from the natural gas line. Please be sure to check the size of
your home’s natural gas line fitting to make sure you get the right size connection for your particular application. If
you have questions, please consult your local natural gas distributor or qualified service technician.

Gas Requirements
L.P. GAS INSTALLATION
Frigidaire Gallery Gas Grills that are set to operate with L.P. gas come with a high capacity hose and regulator assembly.
(Note: Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill or a replacement pressure
regulator and hose assemblies specified by Frigidaire). This assembly is designed to connect directly to a standard
20 lb. L.P. cylinder. L.P. Cylinders are not included with the grill. L.P. Cylinders can be purchased separately at an inde-
pendent dealer.

L.P. TANK INFORMATION
Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.
L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D (Overfilling Prevention Device). The device shuts off the flow of gas to a cylin-
der after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential for release of gas when the cylinder is heated, averting a fire
or possible injury.
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specified, as applicable, for
connection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CGA-V-1.
Cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. (The L.P. cylinder must have an overfill
protection device, OPD, on it.)
The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P. gas cylinders
of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CAS-B339, “Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods.”
L.P. TANK USE
• When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to insure proper
gas flow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank, when gas
is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas supply. Opening the valve rapidly may simulate a gas leak,
causing the safety device to activate, restricting gas flow causing low flames. Opening the valve slowly will
insure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.
• When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the “OFF” position.
• The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.
• The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is excessive abrasion
or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being used again.
• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or
any other enclosed area.
• Only a qualified gas supplier should refill the L.P. tank.
• Do not store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or near the grill.

Pre Operation Leak Testing
GENERAL INFORMATION
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be per-
formed at the installation site due to possible shifting during shipment, installation or excessive pressure unknowingly
being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks and immediately check the system if the smell
of gas is detected.
BEFORE TESTING
Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame.
Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.
TESTING
1. Turn off the burner control knobs.
2. Turn the top knob of the fuel supply cylinder counterclockwise (right to left) two (2) rotations to open.
3. Apply the soap solution to connections of the fuel supply assembly. If no soap bubbles appear, there is no gas leak. If
bubbles form at the connections, a leak is detected. If a leak is detected, immediately turn off the gas supply, tighten
any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and repeat steps 1-3.
4. Turn off the knob on the fuel supply cylinder.
5. Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment to release the pressure in the hose, then turn the control knobs back off.
6. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.
Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to the regulator.
Have a qualified service technician leak test the grill any time a part of the gas system is replaced.
Also it is recommended to perform a leak test at least once a year whether or not the L.P. gas supply cylinder has been
disconnected.
NOTE: When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and tighten all loose connections, including the side burner.
A slight leak in the system can result in a low flame, or hazardous condition. Most L.P. gas tanks now come equipped
with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank, when gas is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas
supply. A leak may significantly reduce the gas flow making the grill difficult to light or causing low flames.
NOTE: If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your local gas company or the dealer you
purchased the appliance from. If necessary, replace the faulty part with the manufacturer’s recommended
replacement part. A slight leak could cause a fire.

Using the Rotisserie & Side Burners
(Optional ROTISSERIE KIT to use with back infrared burner must be purchased separately)
The grill rotisserie system is designed to cook items from the back using infrared heat. The rotisserie burner is an
infrared type which provides intense searing radiant heat. Preferred by chefs over other cooking methods, this intense
heat sears in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meats.
Remove the warming rack from the grill when using the rotisserie to prevent
warping from the intense heat of the infrared unit.
NOTE: The rotisserie spit rod is centered between the grill hood and the burners. It may be necessary to
remove the grates and flavor grids when cooking larger portions of meat on the rotisserie. This is by design,
since this configuration gives you the most possible room above and below the rod for larger pieces of meat.
Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperature in 1 minute. The orange/red glow will even out in about 5
minutes. The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal gears and is capable of turning up to 20 lbs. of food. The motor is
mounted on a bracket on the left side of the grill by sliding the motor over the bracket with the cord facing the back of
the grill. Make sure the rotisserie motor is completely seated on the bracket prior to operating. Make sure the rotisserie
cord is away from any hot surfaces.
Electrical Grounding Instructions
This appliance (rotisserie motor) is equipped with a three-prong (grounding)
plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the
grounding prong from this plug.
ATTACHING THE ROTISSERIE
(purchased separately)
Pointed End Of Rod
* For bracket installation, see instruction sheet provided
with the optional rotisserie kit.
The motor is mounted on a bracket on the left side of the
grill by sliding the motor over the bracket with the cord
facing the back of the grill.
NOTE: Remove the rotisserie when not in use. Store
the unit indoors when not in use. Remove warming
shelf when using rotisserie.
With the rotisserie motor in place and plugged into an
electrical outlet, it is now ready to operate. Slide one of the
meat forks onto the rod (prongs facing away from the
rounded end. Push the rod through the center of the food,
then slide the second meat fork onto the rod (prongs
toward the food). Center the food to be cooked on the rod,
then push the meat forks firmly together. Tighten the
thumb screws. It may also be necessary to wrap food with
butcher’s string, (never use nylon or plastic string) to
secure loose portions.
Do not use the rotisserie in the rain.
Once the food is secure, insert the pointed end of the
rotisserie rod into the motor assembly and rest the other
end on the support on the right-hand side of the grill. (If
needed, remove the cooking grates for more room). Turn
the power switch to the “On” position to start the rotisserie
motor.

Care and Maintenance
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray located below the grill, inside the cart, should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy buildup of debris.
NOTE: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean.
Important: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless it is covered (cover sold separately).
Rain water can collect inside of the grill, the grill cart or the drip tray if left uncovered. If the drip tray is not
cleaned after use and the grill is left uncovered, the drip tray will fill with water causing grease and water to
spill into the grill cart. We recommend cleaning and storing the drip tray after every use.
COOKING GRATES
The cooking grates can be cleaned immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the grill. Wear a barbecue
mitt and scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the grill is allowed to cool down, cleaning the grates will be easier
if removed from the grill and cleaned with a mild detergent.
STAINLESS STEEL
After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal.
Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of the grain of the metal. Specks of grease can gather
on the surface of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give a worn appearance. For removal, use an non-
abrasive oven cleaner in conjunction with a stainless cleaner.
NOTE: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.

Troubleshooting Your Grill
GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING
You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:
• The smell of gas.
• Flames appearing mostly yellow. (some yellow at the tips is OK)
• The grill will not get hot enough.
• Burners make a snapping noise.
• The grill heats unevenly.
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING
Spider and insects can nest in the burners of this or any other grill and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner.
This is very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and
making it unsafe to operate. We recommend you check the grill and remove any spiders, insects and webs at least
once a year to reduce this risk.
BEFORE CALLING CUSTOMER SERVICE
If the grill does not function properly, use the following checklist.
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Grill will not light when the igniter button is pushed.
Is your gas supply turned on ?
If this is an L.P. grill, is there gas in your tank ? Check your
gas level.
Is one of your burners turned on? Allow up to four seconds
of gas flow to ignite.
Is your igniter working?
- You should hear a snapping sound when you press
the igniter?
- If you hear a snapping sound can you see a spark at
the electrodes?
Note - You will need to remove your cooking
grates and flavor grids to see the electrodes.
Check your igniter battery and replace if needed.
Check for loose wire connections to the igniter or electrodes.
Check to see if debris is blocking the electrodes.
If the igniter is not working can you light the grill with
a match?
