WARNING
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)
• Propane Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.2 (Canada)
To check your local codes, see your local LP gas dealer or natural gas company. This grill was not
intended to be connected to a natural gas supply line. If an external electrical source is utilized, it
must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA 22.1.
• 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. Not adhering to these clearances will prevent proper
ventilation and may increase the risk of a fire and/or property damage, which could also result in
personal injury.
• Maintain a minimum clearance of 36 inches (91 cm) between all sides of grill, deck railings, 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
LP GAS CYLINDER (NOT SUPPLIED WITH THIS GRILL)
The LP cylinder is available for purchase at the same location the grill was purchased.
The LP (Liquid Propane) gas cylinder specifically designed to be used with this grill must have
a 20 lb. (9.1 kg) capacity incorporating a Type 1 cylinder valve and an over-filling protection
device (OPD).
• This grill is designed to fit Worthington, Manchester or SMPC brand 20 lb. (9.1 kg) cylinders.
Other brand DOT cylinders may fit this grill if the cylinder has similar dimensions of the top and
bottom rings.
• DO NOT connect this grill to an existing #510 POL cylinder valve with Left Hand threads. The
Type 1 valve can be identified with the large external threads on the valve outlet.
• DO NOT connect to a propane cylinder exceeding this capacity.
• DO NOT connect to a cylinder that uses any other type of valve connection device.
