Overall Dimensions: 34-1/8 in W x 25-3/4 in D x 13-5/8 in H above the countertop (hood closed)
The Fire Magic Choice C540i is a built-in gas grill with a 30 x 18 in cooking surface, three stainless steel U-shaped burners and Diamond Sear cooking grids, framed in a satin stainless steel face.

Installation Notes
Build the island to the cutout above with a non-combustible countertop, keep the front air inlet under the control panel clear, and orient the grill so the prevailing wind blows toward its front. Under a roof, Fire Magic highly recommends a hood larger than the cooking area with at least a 1200 CFM fan. Do not use a rubber hose inside the enclosure. In New York City, gas work for an outdoor grill must be done by a licensed master plumber under permit, and propane cylinders are restricted in many buildings.
