A. IMPORTANT: Before you begin...
1. Read and follow all instructions carefully.
2. WARNING: Connection to gas source must be
done by a certied plumber.
3. Installation must be made in accordance with any
local codes or regulations, or in the absence of
local codes of regulations, in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1).
4. This device is only intended for use outdoors with
portable appliances that may be moved for conve-
nience of operation.
5. Thehoseandttingsaredesignedformovement
after installation, but must not be kinked, twisted
or torqued.
6. Thehoseandttingsshouldbevisuallyinspected
periodically to determine that they have not been
damaged, and are suitable for continued use.
7. Protectthehoseandttingsfromdust,dirtand
damage when not in use. Insert the plastic plug
in the socket and the cap over the hose end plug
whenever the hose is removed from the socket.
8. Perform “leak test” by following “Leak Test In-
structions” on pg.12.
9. Only use the Quick Connect Socket with the pro-
vided hose end plug.
SAFETY INFORMATION
B. SPECIAL NOTES:
- This device requires outlet pressure of 7 inches of
water column.
If pressure is greater than 1/2 psi, make sure that
an inline regulator is present.
Prior to 1998, all residual gas service regulators
were set with an outlet pressure of 7 inches of
water column.
In the 1998 edition of NFPA 54, the National Fuel
Gas Code, a change was made allowing service
regulators of 2 and 5 psi.
With this change it was also required that an
inline regulator be connected between the service
regulator and the applience regulator if the 2 or 5
psi system is used. This additional regulator is not
supplied with the product.
It is possible for a consumer, making the connec-
tion themselves, or a plumber, not checking, to
tap into a 2 or 5 psi line. If a pressure of 2 psi or
greater is supplied to the appliance regulator on
certain appliances it will shut down and not de-
liver any gas to the appliance. Additional concerns
are raised by the fact that both the quick connect
socket and the gas hose are only rated to 1/2 psi.
If the quick disconnect socket, hose and oven are
properly connected and still not getting gas, deliv-
erypressureneedstobeveried.

LEAK TEST INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER: DO NOT use open ame to test for gas leaks. DO NOT perform leak test near
any potential source of ignition. DO NOT SMOKE while performing the test. A re or
explosion could occur resulting in property damage, severe burn or even death.
1. Make sure the hose is NOT connected to the quick connect socket before proceeding.
2. Turn on gas supply.
3. Check socket and socket to house piping connection with ammonia free soapy water solution or leak detec-
tion solution. Bubbles that appear or grow in size indicate a gas leak.
4. If there is a leak, turn off gas and then tighten ttings until bubbles do not appear at joints. If you
cannot stop the gas leak, turn off the gas supply and have a qualied gas service technician perform
repair. Do not attempt to use the Natural Gas Hose Assembly until all gas leaks have been repaired.
5. Make sure all the appliance controls are turned OFF before connecting the hose to the quick connect socket.
To connect the hose to the socket, pull back on the sleeve portion of the quick disconnect socket and insert
thehosettingintothesocket.Releasethesleeveandcontinuepushingthehoseintothesocketuntilthe
sleeve snaps into the locked position.
6. Check the socket to hose connection, the hose, the appliance to hose connection and the appliance (per
manufacturer’s instructions) for gas leaks with ammonia free soapy water solution or leak detection solution.
Bubbles that appear to grow in size indicate a gas leak.
7. If there is a leak, turn off gas and then tighten ttings until bubbles do not appear at joints. If you
cannot stop the gas leak, turn off the gas supply and have a qualied gas service technician perform
repair. Do not attempt to use the Natural Gas Hose Assembly until all gas leaks have been repaired.
8. Rinse off leak test solution with clean water after performing leak test.
WARNING
Do not attempt to operate your oven with propane gas while using your Natural Gas setup. Replace pro-
pane setup, inlcuding replacing the jet, gas hose and regulator, before reattaching to propane gas.
WARNING
WARNING
Do not use charcoal briquettes or any other ammable material with your oven. Use of such material will
void your warranty and may lead to a re, explosion and bodily harm.
Never use a match or open ame for leak detection. Use of an open ame could result in a re, explosion
and bodily harm.
