IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please review these important safety precautions before you use your grill and read the
Owner’s Manual fully and carefully. Failure to follow the instructions, guidelines, and
restrictions in the manual can result in a fire or other injury causing death or serious
personal injury or property damage.
In General
1. Never leave the grill unattended while cooking.
2. Make sure you have an ABC fire extinguisher accessible when you grill. Do not at-
tempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or liquids.
3. Place your grill away from areas where children play and never leave children alone
or unattended in an area where a grill is located.
4. Keep the area in which your grill is located clear and free from combustible material,
gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
5. Always maintain the required clearances from the sides and back of your grill to
combustible construction. Do not operate the grill under overhead combustible con-
struction.
6. Your grill should only be used outdoors and should not be used in a building, gar-
age, or any other enclosed area.
7. Your grill is not design or certified for, and should not be installed in or on, recrea-
tional vehicles or boats.
8. Never operate your grill while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
9. Do not use your grill unless a leak test has been performed on all gas connections.
If the gas hose shows excessive abrasion or wear or if it is cut, it must be replaced
prior to using your grill.
10.Keep any electrical supply cords and the fuel supply hose away from any heated
surfaces.
11.Follow the lighting and operation instructions in this manual explicitly.
12.Always keep the hood of your grill open while lighting the grill. Releasing gas into a
closed grill before lighting will increase the risk of an explosion which could lead to
property damage, serious injury, or death.
13.If a burner does not light or goes out while you are using your grill, turn off all the
burner control knobs, open the hood, and wait 5 minutes before attempting to re-
light.
14.Do not block the flow of combustion and ventilation air to your grill and keep the
ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
15.Do not touch the grill grates, hood or immediate surrounding metal surfaces before,
during, and after grilling until you have allowed your grill to cool.
16.Never move your grill while it is hot.
17.Always open the grill hood slowly to allow heat and smoke to escape gradually.
18.Check the orifices and burner venturi tubes regularly for insects and insect nests. A
clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the grill. To check for insect nest, remove
the control knobs and the front control panel of your grill (see figure 1). Disconnect
2
the electrode wires from the igniter. Check the orifices and venture tubes for debris.
19.All TEC grills require a TEC specified regulator that is provided with your grill. If replace-
ment parts are necessary, use only TEC specified regulators that have been pre-
adjusted to the required gas pressure of the grill.
20.Use only the gas type designated for your grill. Failure to use the correct gas type can
cause your grill to over fire or under fire. The designated gas type (LP or Natural) is
specified on the serial number plate of the grill.
21.If you smell gas, turn off your grill and the gas supply valve immediately and contact a
qualified technician.
22.To avoid excessive temperatures (over 1000°F) do not operate the grill on high with the
hood closed in excess of 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, either cook with the hood open
or adjust the heat to medium or low.
When Using Portable LP Cylinders
1. Inspect the gas hose prior to using your grill each time. If there is evidence of excessive
abrasion or wear-and-tear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced with a TEC specified
regulator/hose assembly before using the grill.
2. Use only approved LP cylinders that have a collar to protect the cylinder valve and are in
good condition. The dimension of the approved cylinder is 17.75 inches to the top of the
collar and the diameter is 12 inches.
3. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure (i.e. cabinet, island, etc) free and
clear from debris.
4. Be sure to set the cylinder upright (so that the cylinder valve is at the top) and fasten it
securely inside the grill cabinet or island using the provided tank strap restraints.
5. Follow the procedure in the manual carefully for connecting and disconnecting the cylin-
der to your grill.
6. Always turn off the gas at the valve of the cylinder when your grill is not in use.
7. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.
8. Never store additional or empty propane cylinders in the grill cabinet or island or in the
vicinity of your grill or other appliances.
9. If the information in items 7 & 8 are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious
injury may occur.
10.Do not store your grill indoors unless you disconnect and remove the cylinder.
11.Cylinders must be stored outdoors, out of reach of children, and must not be stored in an
enclosed area.
12.Place the dust cap that is provided with the cylinder on the valve of the cylinder when not
in use.
When Using Natural Gas or Bulk LP Gas Tank
1. For Natural Gas or LP Bulk Tank installations, use only a qualified technician to perform
the required plumbing.
2. Make sure the technician has performed a leak test on all fittings that supply gas to your
grill and has purged the gas line of air prior to using your grill.
3. Ask the technician to show you where your gas supply shut-off is located before he
leaves. All gas lines must have a shut-off that is easily accessible.

IMPORTANT: Freight carriers require that shipping damage be reported within 15 days
of delivery. Therefore, you must unpack and carefully inspect your grill as soon as it
arrives. On occasion, concealed damage cannot be detected visually. TEC recom-
mends that you assemble and use your grill within the required 15 day reporting period
to ensure that your grill has not been damaged internally during shipping. Please keep
all packaging material in case you discover any damage or defects after delivery so that
you can repackage the grill for return and immediately report any damage or defect by
contacting TEC’s Customer Service Department.
Outdoor Use Only
Your TEC grill is designed and certified for outdoor use only. It should not be operated
in a building, garage, or other enclosed area, and it is not intended for use on recrea-
tional vehicles or boats.
Level Foundation
Place your grill on a level foundation to
prevent it from shifting or tipping over
during use.
Setting Your Cabinet Brake (Free
Standing Grills)
The cabinet brake located inside the
cabinet on the floor should be engaged
by turning the knob clockwise until there
is sufficient pressure to lock the grill in
place.
Clearance To Combustibles
Do not use your grill under overhead combustible construction.
Clearances Above The Top Of The Grill
Minimum clearance from the sides and back of the grill to adjacent combustible con-
struction extending above the top of the grill are 24" from the sides and back.
INSPECTING YOUR GRILL FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE
CHOOSING THE PROPER LOCATION FOR YOUR GRILL
4
Grilling Surface
1. The cooking grates and radiant glass panel(s) are shipped inside the interior of the grill (see
figure 1). Take the glass panel(s) out of the grill and remove the bubble wrap.
2. Remove the cooking grates from the metal tray (that they are shipped in). Check to see if
that the clips located on each side of the tray hold the tray firmly in place. If you detect any
movement front to back or side to side, adjust the clips by bending them inward with pliers.
3. Place the glass panel(s) in the tray with the smooth side up. Place the cooking grates di-
rectly on top of the glass with the open channels facing downward and the taller end of the
grates at the back of the grill.
Warming Rack
If a warming rack is purchased as an option, it can be easily attached to the grill (No hardware
required). Simply hang the warming rack over the back wall of the hood body.
Ignition System
The Patio Series grills use an electric igniter that is completely installed. The
igniter provides a voltage to the spark electrode located at each burner. The
system is battery operated, and the battery must be changed when the spark
appears to weaken. To change the battery, unscrew the igniter button adja-
cent to the viewing hole for each burner and install a new battery with the
positive end of the battery inserted into the igniter. When screwing the igniter
button back onto the grill, take care not to use too much pressure which will
strip the plastic threads.
Freestanding models only
(Required tool: 7/16" open or boxed end wrench or socket, and #3 Phillips head screw driver)
1. Each side shelf is shipped with two support arms. Remove the truss head screws installed
in the left and right sides of the grill cabinet and put them aside. These will be used to
mount the stainless shelf to the support arms.
2. Mount the support arms to the side of the cabinet us-
ing the 4 hex head bolts (HW0514) included in the
side shelf hardware package.
3. After the support arms are securely fastened, place
the shelf over the support arms. Attach the shelf to
the grill body first, then attach the shelf to the support
arms using the truss head screws that you removed
from the sides of the cabinet. Plug the 2 remaining
holes on the edge of the shelf with the finishing plugs (HW1815) included in the hardware
package.

SIDE SHELF INSTALLATION

The built-in model of the Patio grill is shipped completely assembled and is ready to be
placed into the cut-out of a custom cabinet or island. No fasteners are required be-
cause the weight of the grill will hold it securely in place. However, the counter top
must be made of a non-combustible material, such as metal, tile on cement
board, stucco, stone, granite, marble, brick or polished cement. If the cabinet en-
closure is built of non combustible materials, no ventilation beneath the countertop is
required.
Clearances to Combustible Materials Above the Countertop
When installing the Patio built-in grill, clearances to combustible materials must be ob-
served. The grill should not be placed closer than 24” from the side and back of the grill
head to combustible construction or other combustible materials located above the
countertop.
Patio FR Built-In Cutout Dimensions
Ven-
tilation Requirements And Clearances For
Grill Enclosures Built With Combustible Materials
When a cabinet or island for a built-in Patio grill is constructed of combustible materials,
the floor of the enclosure must be at least 25.5” below the bottom of the grill. The cabi-
net itself must be vented in two places, front and back, whether or not an LP tank is
contained within the enclosure. Each vent should provide 35 sq. inches of unobstructed
ventilation. The front cabinet vent should be centered below the grill at the bottom of the
cabinet. It can be concealed by cutting the vent opening into the floor on the inside of
the enclosure, just behind the cabinet doors. This will allow the grill to vent directly to
the outside of the cabinet above the toe kick. The back cabinet vent should be posi-
tioned behind the grill, at the top of the cabinet. A ventilation cover can be placed over
the vent openings as long as it provides at least 35 sq. inches of open area.
If the LP gas cylinder is to be contained in the enclosure, the enclosure must be built in
accordance with the specifications under “Enclosures for Self-Contained LP Gas Cylin-
ders.”
