GAS SPECIFICATIONS
Be sure that the gas supplied to the grill conforms to the model you purchased. A Natural Gas grill requires
natural gas to operate; an LP grill requires liquid propane gas to operate.
Check the rating label on the left-hand side of the unit.
RATING PLATE LOCATION
• Never connect the appliance to an unregulated gas supply line. Grills operated without a regulator
are unsafe and will not be serviced until installed properly and safely. Unsafe operation without a gas
regulator will void warranty of the grill.
• Grills operated with NG (natural gas) gas must be installed with the NG regulator supplied with the unit
and set to 4" water column pressure.
• Grills operated with LP (liquid propane) gas must be installed with an LP regulator Not supplied with
the unit and set to 11" water column pressure.
• The gas valves used in the grills are preset at the factory for Natural Gas or Liquid Propane operation.
Please contact your dealer and use a licensed contractor or installer to convert your grill to a dierent
gas type.
• The self-contained LP system barbeque grill is design certied to be used with a standard 20 lb., 12 1/4"
diameter, 18" high cylinder with right-hand connection threads and this is the maximum LP tank to be
used. The cylinder must be marked in accordance with the latest U.S. Department of Transportation
specications for LP gas cylinders. (DOT. CFR49 or National Standards of Canada CAN/CSA-B359

NATURAL GAS REQUIREMENTS
• Always check the Rating Plate to make sure the gas supply you are hooking up to is the gas type the grill
is manufactured for.
• The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or in the absence of local codes, to the
national fuel gas code, ANSI Z223.1a-1998. Installation in Canada must be in accordance with the
standard CAN/CGA-B149.2, Propane Installation Code.
• A licensed contractor or local gas company representative must perform all natural gas connections.
• Ensure that the service supplying the grill is tted with a shut o valve conveniently positioned near the
grill and giving ease of access.
• The grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shuto valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 0.5 psi
(3.5 kPa).
• The grill and its individual shuto valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during

GAS SPECIFICATIONS
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
• Perform a leak test at least once a year whether the gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not.
• In addition, whenever the gas cylinder is connected to the regulator or whenever any part of the gas
system is disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
• As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your grill outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
• Never smoke or permit sources of ignition in the area while doing a leak test.
• Do not use a ame, such as a lighted match to test for leaks.
• Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing in a spray bottle one part liquid soap to one
part water.
• Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF position.
TURNING ON THE GAS
• On Natural Gas systems, turn the main feed valve to the grill.
• On LP systems, turn the cylinder valve knob counterclockwise one turn to open. Apply the leak-testing
solution by spraying it on joints of the gas delivery system. Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates
that a leak is present.
• Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by replacing the faulty part with a replacement part recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is damaged. The cylinder
must be discarded to a proper LP tank location and then replaced.
• Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position.
• If you are unable to stop a leak turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position, shut o the gas
supply to the grill and release pressure in the hose and manifold by pushing in and turning any of the
control valves one quarter turn counterclockwise. On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the grill. Call
an authorized gas appliance service technician or an LP gas dealer. Do not use the appliance until the
leak is corrected.
