and mix well. Apply a small amount of 4. the next tint colors, one at a time to the epoxy resin and mix well. Compare color of mixed 5. epoxy resin with the color of the counter top. If the colors do not 6. match, add small amounts of tint color (one at a time) and mix until the resin mixture matches the color of the granite top. Add a small amount of 7. hardener to the matching resin mixture and mix well. Quickly fill one portion of the seam line with the epoxy mixture. 8. Remove the excess epoxy material from the seam line using a razor blade. Let the epoxy material cure for five minutes.9. Pour a small amount of epoxy and hardener separately on a piece 10. of cardboard. Mix the epoxy material well with the hardener.11. Quickly apply the epoxy mixture to the seam line. Remove the 12. excess epoxy material from the seam line using a razor blade. Let the epoxy material cure for five minutes.13. Repeat the previous steps until all the seam line is filled with epoxy 14. mixture. Clean the surface of the seam line with acetone.15. Griddle and Griddle Storage Similar to installing a drawer, you need to have a cutout on your barbecue island as shown below. Align the enclosure as shown, opening facing out. Make sure the enclosure is aligned horizontally. Tighten the mounting screws on both side of the enclosure to lock the enclosure in place. Slide the griddle into the enclosure to test the installation. Light Switch Installation If you have the hardware interior island option, you will need to install the light kit. The kit consists of a 12-volt light, a wiring harness and a microswitch and bracketry. The microswitch mounts to the bracket with a supplied set of screws and nuts. Once you mount the the switch bracketry, choose a location for the light. The light can be mounted anywhere in the island that provides you with the light you need for your internal storage area. The 12-volt light portion of your kit will have the necessary mounting hardware. Be sure to keep the light within the range of the provided wire harness and the hot portions of the grill. LED Lights The switch for the LED lights is located in a covered utility box on the side of the barbecue island. Flip it up to turn all the lights on. Cleaning and Maintenance About Natural Stone A natural characteristic of granite and marble is its inherent lack of uniformity. Because it is a completely natural material, it can have a great deal of variation in color, shade, finish, tint, hardness, strength, and so on. Any time you use natural stone, you can always expect differences from one tile to the next. You will frequently see dry seams, pit or fossils. These areas are often filled in at the factory. Over time through normal use, the fill may work its way out. Even though stone tile is a natural product, it nevertheless can be affected by extremes in weather. Both marble and granite are decorative and durable, but they have different compositions and wear differently in the elements. We recommend barbecue island owners keep their island covered if they are concerned about damage from constant exposure to weather. This is particularly true in areas where there is snow, ice, or very hot weather. Stone is porous, especially marble, and often has natural fissures in the surface. Constant exposure to extreme heat or cold can cause these natural features to expand and eventually crack. Although the stone has been properly finished and is suitable for use in an outdoor environment, Cal Spas does not apply a weather sealant to our countertops. We never wish to second-guess how our customers want to use their barbecues or the locale they will use them in, so we leave the choice of applying a weather sealant entirely up to owners. We do not recommend any specific brand or manufacturer, although there are literally hundreds of excellent products on the market customers may choose from. In addition to maintaining the stone tile surfaces, barbecue island owners need to know that the grout between the tile, while it is durable, can also be affected by both extremes in weather and by normal use. Grout is much easier to repair than stone tile and gaps between the tile can cause water to seep into the barbecue island and cause damage to the interior. In those instances where natural cracks occur, we recommend having an experienced tile worker filling them with a material of a complementary color. After the filler sets and is sanded smooth, apply a weather sealant to help prevent further cracking. Granite Top Clean stone surfaces with a few drops of neutral cleaner, stone soap (available from Monticello Granite) or a mild liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Use a clean rag for best results. Too much cleaner or soap may leave a film and cause streaks. Do not use products that contain lemon, vinegar or other acids on the granite the high acid content may etch the surface. Rinse the surface thoroughly after washing with the soap solution and dry with a soft cloth. C...
