INSTALLATION INFORMATION:
The installation of this appliance must be in accordance with:
All applicable local codes, or in the absence of local codes, either:
• National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 NFPA 54
• Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.1
• Natural Gas Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.1 (Canada)
This kit converts your grill for natural gas use at 7 inch water column supply pressure. To check your pressure
contact your local natural gas company. If the supply pressure is different than 7 inch, contact a
professional
service technician
for assistance. Not for use with LP gas.
WARNING
• FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT operate indoors or in an enclosed area such as a garage, shed
or breezeway.
• Use your grill OUTDOORS in a well ventilated space away from dwellings or other buildings to
prevent dangers associated with gas accumulation and toxic vapors. We recommend your grill be
situated at least 10 feet (3.1 m) from buildings.
• Maintain a minimum clearance of 36 inches (91 cm) between all sides of grill and walls or other
combustible material. DO NOT use grill under overhead unprotected combustible construction.
• DO NOT use or install this grill in or on a recreational vehicle and/or boat.

WARNING
GENERAL WARNINGS
• Never use liquid propane gas in a unit designed for natural gas.
• Never use charcoal or wood briquette in a gas grill. Flavoring chips must be contained in a metal
smoking box to contain ash and prevent fires.
• Leak test all connections before first use, even if grill was purchased fully assembled.
• Never check for leaks using a match or open flame.
CAUTION: Strong odors, colds, sinus congestion, etc. may prevent the detection of natural gas.
Use caution and common sense when testing for leaks.
• Always keep your gas grill free and clear of gasoline, lighter fluid, paint thinner, or other flammable
vapors and liquids or combustible materials.
• Always check the grill prior to each use as indicated in the "Pre-Start Check List" section of this
manual.
• Only use the specific orifice designated for your grill model. Always double check the millimeter
size on the side of the orifice tip prior to installation. Use of any other orifice could lead to personal
injury, property damage and void your grill warranty.
• DO NOT use back rotisserie burner when main burners are in use.
•DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
• Never place more than 15 pounds on the side burner. DO NOT lean on the side burner shelf.
• Keep children and pets away from hot grill. DO NOT allow children to use or play near this grill.
• DO NOT leave the grill unattended while in use.
• DO NOT allow the gas hose to come in contact with hot surfaces.
• DO NOT allow grease from drain hole to fall on hose.
• Keep any electrical supply cords away from water or heated surfaces.
• Keep a fire extinguisher on hand acceptable for use with gas products. Refer to your local authority
to determine proper size and type.
• For household use only. DO NOT use this grill for anything other than its intended purpose.
• DO NOT use while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Grill is hot when in use. To avoid burns:
• DO NOT attempt to move the grill.
• Lock the wheels so the unit does not accidentally move.
• Wear protective gloves or oven mitts.
• DO NOT touch any hot grill surfaces.
• DO NOT wear loose clothing or allow hair to come in contact with grill.
USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING YOUR GAS GRILL.
FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES IN THIS MANUAL
COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BODILY INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Connection should be made by a professional service technician. Supply the technician with a copy of these
instructions. Incorrect connection can result in a gas leak with possibility of fire.

CONNECTING YOUR GRILL TO THE NATURAL GAS SOURCE
1. Coat pipe nipple with gas resistant teflon tape or pipe dope. Tighten quick-disconnect coupling onto
pipe nipple that leads to natural gas supply (Figure A).
2. After grill is completely assembled, make sure natural gas supply valve is “OFF” and then connect
natural gas hose to socket. Push sleeve back on socket (Figure B) and insert plug until sleeve snaps
forward, locking plug into socket. Be sure to leak test these connections prior to use.

Pipe Fitting Flare Fitting
When attaching the quick disconnect to your natural gas supply line, use a pipe fitting,
DO NOT use a flare fitting.

AVOID HARD METAL PIPING
• DO NOT use hard metal piping of any kind to connect this converted natural gas grill. Use only
natural gas hose specified by the manufacturer. Using hard metal piping or convoluted metal
tubing is an unsafe practice. Movement of the grill can cause breakage of metal pipe.
WARNING
LEAK TESTING:
To prevent fire or explosion hazard:
• DO NOT smoke or permit ignition sources in the area while conducting a leak test.
• Perform test OUTDOORS only in a well ventilated area.
• Never perform a leak test with a match or open flame.
• Never perform a leak test while the grill is in use or while grill is still hot.
DANGER
WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST:
• After assembling or converting your natural gas grill and before lighting for the first time, even if
purchased fully assembled.
• Any time the gas components are replaced.
• Any time your grill has been moved.
• At least once per year or if your grill has not been used for more than 60 days.
WARNING
• Never use your grill without leak testing all gas connections and hoses. See the section on
“Leak Testing” in this manual for proper procedures.
• Visually inspect the hose assembly prior to each use for evidence of damage, excess wear or
deterioration. If found, replace the assembly before using your grill. Only the manufacturer's
supplied replacement should be used.
• During assembly or conversion to natural gas, keep the supply hoses free of kinks and/or
damage.
WARNING

CHECKING FOR LEAKS:
1. Create a mixture of 50% water and 50% liquid dishwashing soap.
2. Open the lid.
3. Ensure all control knobs are set to the "OFF" position.
4. Ensure gas hose is tightly connected to gas source.
5. Turn on the fuel supply on at the source.
6. Apply the soap water mixture to the following:
Note: Some Grill models will have different connections than illustrated.
Hose connection to gas manifold.
Gas supply hose connection to
side burner valve assembly.
Side burner valve stem cap. (if applicable)
Side burner connection to hose. (if applicable)
The full length of gas supply hose.
Rotisserie orifice connection. (if applicable)
Rotisserie supply line connection to rotisserie valve assembly. (if applicable)
Note: Rotisserie gas supply line can be gas leak tested by removing the grease tray and applying
soap water mixture from under the control panel.
Quick disconnect coupler.

WARNING
7. Check each place listed (A–H) for growing bubbles which indicates a leak.
8. Turn off gas supply at source.
9. Turn on control knobs to release gas pressure in hose.
10. Turn control knobs to "OFF" position.
11. Tighten any leaking connections.
12. Repeat soapy water test until no leaks are detected.
13. Turn off gas supply at source until you are ready to use your grill.
14. Wash off soapy residue with cold water and towel dry.
15. Wait 5 minutes to allow all gas to evacuate the area before lighting grill.
CAUTION:DO NOT use the grill if leaks cannot be stopped.
Note: The leak test must be performed in an area that has adequate lighting in order to see if
bubbles are developing.
Property damage, bodily harm, severe burns, and death could result from failure to follow these
safety steps. These steps should be performed after the grill has been assembled and prior to each
use. DO NOT operate this grill until you have read and understand ALL of the warnings and
instructions in this manual.
PRE-START CHECK LIST:
•Ensure that the grill is properly assembled.
•Inspect the gas supply hose for burns, chaffing, kinks, and proper routing before each use. If it is
evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior the grill being
used.
•Leak check all gas connections and hose. See section on "Leak Testing".
•Ensure that all electrical supply cords are properly grounded. Keep any electrical supply cord and the
fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces. Hose should be at least 3 inches from hot surfaces.
•Position your grill on level ground in a well ventilated location, a safe distance from combustible
materials, buildings and overhangs.
•Properly place the empty grease tray under the grease drain hole in the bottom of the
grill to catch grease during use.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
