Frequently Asked Questions

Will my grill hold up in the outdoor elements?

Yes. Viking outdoor grills are built from high-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless steel and are engineered to withstand harsh outdoor conditions. Each part undergoes special outdoor testing before certification, and control panel graphics are laser-etched to prevent fading or smudging. That said, regular cleaning and proper care, as outlined in the Use and Care manual, will extend the life and performance of your grill.

Can the grill be installed in an enclosed space?

No. This grill is designed strictly for outdoor use and must be set up in a well-ventilated area. It should never be installed or operated in enclosed locations such as garages, sheds, breezeways, or other buildings.

Why is my grill not getting hot enough?

A few common reasons include blocked burner ports or a faulty regulator. Make sure the burners are clean, check the orifices for blockages, and if running on natural gas, confirm that the conversion kit was installed correctly.

Why are the burners clicking but not lighting?

This issue may stem from moisture in the igniter after cleaning, dirty or misaligned burner caps, or a malfunctioning ignition switch. Ensure all components are dry, properly aligned, and free of debris.

How do I clean the grill grates?

Right after cooking, while the grates are still hot, brush them with a soft-bristle brush dipped in water. The steam will help loosen food residue. For a deeper clean, soak the grates, then wash with a mild detergent and a blue Scotch-Brite pad. Avoid harsh abrasives or steel wool, which can scratch the finish.

What’s the best way to clean the stainless steel?

For everyday cleaning, use warm, soapy water and a soft cloth, wiping along the grain of the steel. To remove smudges or fingerprints, occasionally use a stainless steel cleaner and polish—but not daily. Be sure to wipe up acidic spills immediately to avoid permanent staining.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Turn off the gas supply right away. Use a soap-and-water solution to check for leaks—never an open flame. If the odor continues, call a qualified technician to inspect the system.

The Pros and Cons

Pros

• High heat output ensures fast and even cooking
  The cast brass burners deliver up to 25,000 BTUs each, allowing for high-temperature grilling that quickly sears meats while locking in flavors. The even heat distribution ensures no cold spots, so food cooks thoroughly and consistently.
• Durable and long-lasting construction
  The heavy-duty welded stainless steel frame enhances the grill’s durability by preventing grease and moisture buildup, reducing wear and tear over time. This makes it a long-term investment for serious grillers.
• Rotisserie feature adds versatility
  The dual-position rotisserie, paired with the 14,000 BTU infrared burner, allows you to slow-cook meats evenly while preserving their juices. The three-speed motor accommodates different cooking styles, making it ideal for poultry, roasts, and larger cuts of meat.
• Reliable ignition system for easy startups
  The hot surface ignition system eliminates the need for matches or lighters, ensuring a hassle-free grilling experience. It provides a quick and reliable flame every time you start the grill.
• Enhanced nighttime visibility for late-evening grilling
  The dual halogen grill surface lights illuminate the cooking area, allowing for better visibility when grilling in low-light conditions. The LED-illuminated controls also enhance the aesthetic and usability of the grill at night.

Cons

• High fuel consumption due to powerful burners
  The high BTU output ensures excellent performance, but it also means that the grill may consume more fuel compared to lower-BTU models. This can lead to higher gas usage, especially for frequent grilling.
• Premium price point may not be budget-friendly
  Due to its professional-grade features and heavy-duty construction, this grill is positioned at a higher price point. It may not be the best option for those looking for a more budget-friendly outdoor grill.
• Built-in design requires dedicated installation
  Unlike portable grills, this model is designed for built-in setups, meaning you need a dedicated outdoor kitchen or grilling station. This limits its portability and requires proper planning for installation.
• Infrared burner may require a learning curve
  The rear infrared burner provides high-intensity heat, which requires some adjustment in cooking techniques. Users unfamiliar with infrared grilling may need to experiment with settings to avoid overcooking or burning food.
• Heavy-duty construction increases weight and makes repositioning difficult
  The solid stainless steel construction makes this grill quite heavy, meaning once it’s installed, repositioning it is challenging. This can be a drawback if you plan to remodel or relocate your outdoor cooking space in the future

This grill is a premium, high-performance option designed for serious outdoor cooking enthusiasts who value power, durability, and versatility. Its strong heat output, rotisserie system, reliable ignition, and nighttime visibility make it capable of delivering professional-quality results in any setting. However, its high fuel consumption, premium price, and heavy built-in design mean it is best suited for those investing in a permanent outdoor kitchen rather than casual or budget-conscious grillers.
