Nexgrill "Neevo 720 Plus" Assembly Instructions: Nameplate Check, Stage-Gate Build Order, and the Plus-Trim Extra Bag
A practical how-to for buyers holding a Neevo 720 Plus box and a 720-series manual: confirm the label, pass each build gate, and skip the teardown.

Plus-Trim Extra Bag
Read the Rating Label Before You Open a Single Hardware Bag
Before opening the hardware bags, find the silver rating label on your grill - inside the cabinet door or on the rear panel. It carries a model number in the 720-XXXX format, the convention Nexgrill has used across gas models like the 720-0925PG and 720-1046A. That number, not the carton name, is what your manual is keyed to. Tape it to the carton lid; every parts callout, bolt size and step refers to it. Note the BTU rating and burner count too - no verified Neevo 720 Plus spec sheet exists, so online figures circulate incorrectly.
If the rating label is missing or unreadable, stop. Contact Nexgrill support for the correct manual rather than guessing from a similar model.
Why "Neevo 720 Plus" Doesn't Appear on a Nexgrill Spec Sheet
"Neevo" is a marketing line name; 720-XXXX is the engineering SKU. A box labelled Neevo 720 Plus ships with a manual titled for its 720-series number - normal, not a packing error. Treat the manual as the authority and the carton name as branding only. This affects your parts inventory (match bag labels to manual callouts, not the box) and any Plus-only trim, such as a side burner, that a base 720 manual may not illustrate. If a step shows no Plus component, you likely have an addendum sheet or supplementary bag.
What the Carton Should Contain, and the Extra Bag the Plus Trim Adds
Lay everything out and count against the manual's parts list: firebox, lid, cart panels, legs, casters, tank brace, control panel, knobs, heat tents, cooking grates, side shelves and the LP hose/regulator assembly. Then find the separate small bag carrying Plus-trim hardware - typically side-burner fittings and fasteners. Photograph the layout before assembly; it makes a missing-part claim far easier.
Two People, About 90 Minutes, One Flat Surface
Budget roughly 90 minutes with two people; solo runs longer because the firebox lift is awkward. Clear a flat, swept surface - driveway or garage floor - with cardboard underneath to protect the finish. You need a Phillips screwdriver, an adjustable wrench or the supplied wrench, and a socket set if the manual calls for hex bolts.
The Stage-Gate Build Order: Ten Stages, Ten Checkpoints
Build in gates, not one long blur. Each stage ends with a checkpoint you clear before moving on - that is what prevents the teardown.
| Stage | Build | Checkpoint |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cart base and legs | Diagonals equal; bolts snug, not torqued |
| 2-3 | Casters, tank brace, cabinet panels | Frame locks square when panels go on |
| 4-5 | Firebox, manifold to burners | Bolts thread by hand; no cross-threading |
| 6-7 | Control panel, knobs, ignition; lid and hinge | Lid closes flush; no wire pinched |
| 8 | Side shelves, Plus side burner last | Upright before final tightening |
| 9-10 | Heat tents, grates, hose; torque pass | Everything squared, then final tighten |
Stage 1: Cart Base and Legs - Get It Square First
Assemble the base and legs loosely, then measure corner-to-corner. If the diagonals differ, loosen and adjust until they match. Tighten only until snug - pre-torquing here is the biggest cause of a cabinet that never lines up.
Stages 2-3: Casters, Tank Brace, and Cabinet Panels
Fit casters and the tank brace, then add cabinet panels - they pull the frame true. Leave the cart upright throughout.
Stages 4-5: Firebox and Manifold-to-Burner Alignment
Two people lift the firebox. Seat each burner over its manifold orifice and thread bolts by hand first - this is the highest cross-threading risk in the build.
Stages 6-7: Control Panel, Knobs, Ignition, Then Lid and Hinge
Route ignition wires clear of the panel edge before fastening - a trapped wire means removing the panel later. Hang the lid and check it closes flush; hinge alignment is the second-hardest moment.
Stage 8: Side Shelves and Plus-Trim Side Burner Last
Bolt shelves with the cart upright, and fit the Plus side burner using its dedicated bag.
Stages 9-10: Heat Tents, Grates, Hose Routing, Final Torque Pass
Set heat tents and grates, route the LP hose clear of hot surfaces, remove all packing material from inside the firebox, then do one final pass tightening every bolt now that the frame is square.
Try comparing two products side by side below to see which fits best:
Once You've Cleared Every Stage Gate, Here's What Still Trips People Up
A squared cart and seated manifold get you most of the way. What remains is patience: verifying hose routing, checking fasteners, and doing the leak test before any food touches the grates.
The Five Mistakes That Force a Full Teardown
- Torquing bolts before the frame is square.
- Installing the firebox while the cart is still on its side.
- Cross-threading manifold bolts by forcing them.
- Bolting side shelves on before flipping the cart upright.
- Trapping an ignition wire behind the control panel.
Every one is avoidable with the stage gates above. Packing material left inside the firebox is a sixth, quieter error - clear it before the first burn.
Bolt and Washer Confusion: A Reference Table
Manual callouts can label fasteners by size, not part number. Compare bag contents to the callout visually; do not substitute.
| Looks like | How to tell | Washer orientation |
|---|---|---|
| M6 vs 1/4-20 | M6 threads into an M6 nut smoothly; 1/4-20 binds | Flat washer under head, lock washer on nut side |
| Short vs long bolt | Match length to the callout drawing | Do not stack two flat washers to compensate |
If a bolt will not thread by hand, back it out and restart - never force it with a wrench.
Leak Test Before the First Cook: Soapy Water, Never a Flame
Connect the LP tank and brush soapy water on every connection - regulator to hose, hose to manifold. Bubbles mean a leak; tighten and retest. Never use a flame. The CPSC and NFPA both stress this practice and warn against grilling indoors or in a garage, so keep the unit outside for testing and cooking.
The Burn-Off: 15-20 Minutes Before Anything Touches the Grates
Run all burners on high, lid closed, for 15-20 minutes to burn off manufacturing residue. Let it cool, then wipe the grates. Only then is the grill ready for food.

If a firebox panel is bent, a burner tube is dented, or the manual truly lacks your Plus-trim step, stop. Nexgrill has served grillers since 1993 and its support team can supply the correct manual or parts for your 720-series number. Forcing a damaged part risks a worse problem than a delay.
