Fully-Assembled
OPERATING YOUR GRILL
Your natural gas grill is designed to operate on natural gas only, at a pressure of seven inches water column (7” W.C.). Check with your gas utility for
local gas pressure, because in some areas natural gas pressure varies. Also, check with your gas company or with local building codes for instructions
to install gas supply line or call a licensed and qualified installer.
It is recommended that an ON/OFF manual shut –off valve be installed at the gas supply source:
Outdoors after the gas line exits outside wall and before quick disconnect or before gas supply line enters ground.
Indoors in the branch gas line in an accessible location near the gas supply line.
Pipe sealing compound or pipe thread tape of the type resistant to the action of natural gas must be used on all male pipe threads. Apply compound or
tape to at least the first three to four threads when making connections.
NATURAL GAS CONNECTION:
Apply sealing compound or pipe thread tape of the type resistant to the action of natural gas must be used on all male pipe threads. Attach to side
burner valve. Connect the other end of the flex hose to manual shut-off valve through a nipple.
Connect a manual shutoff valve to gas supply line.
During high pressure testing your gas grill and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at least pressures in
excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
During low pressure testing your gas grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
Warning: Burner valves are pretested at the factory to operate on natural gas. If you wish to
convert or change, be sure to contact your grill distributor or dealer FIRST!

Make sure control knobs are off.
Spoon several drops of solution at all gas connections.
Inspect the solution at the connection, looking for bubbles, bubbles will appear if connections are not properly sealed. Tighten or repair as necessary.
Retest with solution. If you continue to see bubbles,disconnect gas, turn off the gas at the source, disconnect gas line from grill and immediately call
qualified service person. Lighting Your Grill
