3. Setup and Installation

The Fuego FEACS1 Clip-On Side Shelf is designed for easy, tool-free installation.

1. Identify Attachment Points: Locate the side handle pockets on your Fuego grill. The shelf is designed to interlock underneath the grill handle.
2. Position the Shelf: Align the clips on the underside of the side shelf with the designated attachment points on the grill.
3. Clip into Place: Gently push the shelf clips into the grill's side handle pockets until they securely engage. The shelf should cantilever outward.
