Fixed Connection: Standard Residential 1/2” gas service line - 1/2” NPT male with 3/8” flare adapter.

LP/Propane Cylinder Connection: 1/2” NPT male with 3/8” flare adapter

Operating Pressure: 4.0 W.C.P. Natural or 10.0” W.C.P. LP/Propane

Supply Pressure: Natural gas - 6” to 14” W.C.P. If in excess of 14” W.C.P., a step down regulator is required.

LP/Propane - 11” to 14” W.C.P. If in excess of 14” W.C.P., a step down regulator is required.

The installer must check the supply pressure and operating pressure. To check operating pressure, remove one burner and hook a manometer to the orifice hood. Ignite one of the remaining burners and turn the valve for the removed burner to high.

Read the pressure on the manometer.

Check with your local gas utility company or with local codes for instructions on installing gas supply lines. Be sure to check on type and size of run, and how deep to bury the line. If the gas line is too small, the unit will not function properly. Any joint sealant used must be an approved type and be resistive to the actions of natural gas.

LLE AK ES TIIN G

Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation due to possible mishandling in shipment or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.

1 . Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all flames.

2. Never leak test with an open flame.

3. Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush or towel to apply the solution to the fittings.

4. Check that all control knobs are in the “OFF” position.

5. Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates that a leak is present.

6. Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by replacing the faulty part with a replacement part recommended by the manufacturer.

7. If you are unable to stop a leak, shut off the gas supply and call an authorized gas appliance service technician or

LP/Propane gas dealer. Do not use the grill until the leak is corrected.

8. After checking for leaks, push in and turn any control knob to release the pressure in the hose and manifold. Turn off the control knob.

ALL IIG NIIT N O F B UR ER

All burners are tested before leaving the factory. Field adjustments may be necessary for proper mixture of gas and air for proper operation. When the grill is connected to the gas service, it should be adjusted by a qualified technician. For lighting instructions, refer to the Outdoor Gas Grill Use and Care Manual.

B UR ER DJJU ME T

Each burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply may make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the burners (except the rotisserie infrared burner) should be visually checked and compared with Fig. 1, Fig. 2, and Fig. 3.

Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting. If any of these conditions exist, check if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. With a proper flame height, adjust the air shutter to obtain a blue flame with no yellow tipping that sits on the burner at the burner ports. The air shutter is locked in place by a set screw which must be loosened prior to lighting the burner for adjustments.

To access the air shutter on the grill burners and smoker burner, remove the valve panel. To access the air shutter on the side burners, remove the grates, burner bowls, and grate support. With a screw driver, loosen the lock-screw on the face of the air shutter. Light the burner and adjust according to the directions below.

1. If the flame is yellow, turn the air shutter counter clockwise to allow more air to the burner.

2. If the flame is noisy and lifting away from the burner, turn the air shutter clockwise to reduce the amount of air to the burner.

Once adjusted, turn the burner off, tighten the set screw on the air shutter, replace the valve panel for the grill burners and the grate support, burner bowls, and grates for the side burners.

To ensure proper installation of the grill burners, side burners, and smoker burner:

1. Slide opening in air shutters over the orifice located in the front of the grill.

2. For the smoker burner, secure back of the burner by placing over screw slot on rear of grill and replacing screw.
