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
- Exceptional heat distribution for consistent cooking results
The combination of ceramic briquettes and cast brass burners ensures even heat distribution, reducing flare-ups and delivering professional-quality grilling. - Heavy-duty stainless steel construction for longevity
The welded frame eliminates gaps where grease and moisture can accumulate, making the grill more resistant to corrosion and extending its lifespan. - Versatile rotisserie system for slow roasting
The dual-position rotisserie, combined with a high-powered infrared burner, allows for precise slow-roasting, locking in juices and flavors for restaurant-quality meats. - Reliable hot surface ignition system
This advanced ignition system ensures a quick and consistent startup every time, eliminating the frustration of failed ignitions. - User-friendly lighting for nighttime grilling
With built-in halogen grill lights and blue LED-lit controls, the grill remains highly functional and stylish, even in low-light conditions.
Cons
- High fuel consumption due to powerful burners
The high BTU rating of the burners and infrared rotisserie may lead to increased gas usage, making it less fuel-efficient compared to lower-powered models. - Premium pricing may not suit all budgets
This high-end built-in grill is an investment, which may not be ideal for those looking for a more budget-friendly outdoor cooking solution. - Permanent installation limits portability
As a built-in model, it is designed for fixed outdoor kitchen setups, making it difficult to relocate once installed. - Infrared burner requires careful handling
The powerful infrared rotisserie burner produces intense heat, which may require some experience to achieve optimal cooking results. - Heavyweight construction may complicate installation
The durable stainless steel build adds significant weight, making professional installation or additional support structures necessary.
This grill is a premium choice for outdoor cooking enthusiasts who value professional-grade performance, durability, and advanced features. Its even heat distribution, heavy-duty stainless steel construction, and versatile rotisserie system make it capable of delivering exceptional results for a wide range of cooking styles. At the same time, its higher fuel consumption, premium price, and fixed installation requirements mean it is best suited for those committed to building a long-term, high-end outdoor kitchen rather than seeking a portable or budget-friendly solution.
