- The front air inlet will remain unobstructed.
- The front panel can sit flush with the enclosure face.

- Install the L-Series without the required electrical connection.
- Block the front air inlet or required ventilation openings.
- Install in a combustible enclosure without the required approved insulating liner.
- Use the appliance indoors.
- Perform installation contrary to the manufacturer instructions.
L-Series Electrical Requirement
The L-Series power supply requires a weather-proof, in-use covered 120VAC, 15-amp minimum GFCI grounded three-wire receptacle. The power supply must be installed within the enclosure as directed by the manufacturer and protected from weather and heat.
Combustible Enclosures
When this griddle is installed in a combustible enclosure, the manufacturer requires the 30-IL-C AOG insulating liner. The liner is sold separately. Follow the liner instructions for the applicable counter cutout dimensions and installation.
Clearance & Airflow
Maintain a minimum horizontal clearance of 18 inches in all directions from combustible materials and items. Required enclosure ventilation openings and the front air inlet must remain unobstructed.

Flame Authority Product Guidance
The American Outdoor Grill 30-Inch L-Series Built-In Gas Griddle is best suited to a permanent outdoor kitchen where a dedicated two-burner flat-top cooking surface and illuminated L-Series controls are desired.
The two most important ordering decisions are fuel type and electrical availability. Select the factory Natural Gas or Liquid Propane configuration that matches the project, and confirm that the required 120VAC GFCI electrical service can be provided.
Before enclosure construction begins, review the manufacturer's installation requirements carefully. The overall product dimensions listed on this page are not the enclosure cutout dimensions, and combustible installations require the separately sold 30-IL-C insulating liner.
