GENERAL INFORMATION

Gas Requirements

Never attach an unregulated gas line to the appliance. Connection to an unregulated gas line can cause excessive heat or fire.

Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either Natural Gas (N.G.) or Liquid Propane (L.P.), and make sure the serial plate agrees with that of the supply. Conversion kits are available separately for an additional cost which will enable you to convert your grill from L.P. to N.G. or to convert your grill from N.G. to L.P. Please see your local dealer for more information.

Always have a qualified service technician perform difficult conversions or modifications.

For natural gas installations, an installer must supply a gas shutoff valve that is easily accessible to the grill. All installer supplied parts must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70- 2002, and the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA

54-2002/ANSI Z223.1-2002.

All pipe sealants must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of L.P. gases. Never use pipe sealant on flare fittings. All gas connections should be made by a competent qualified service technician and in accordance with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54-2002/ANSI Z223.1-2002. Gas conversions kits may be purchased separately. When ordering gas conversion kits, have the model number, and the type of gas (N.G. or L.P.) used for your grill.

This grill and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.).

This grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.).

The installation of this grill must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with

National Fuel Code, NFPA 54-2002/ANSI Z223.1a-2002.

Installation in Canada must be in accordance with the Standard CSA B149.1 or B149.2 (installation code for gas burning appliances and equipment) and local codes.

L.P. GAS INSTALLATION

Perfect Flame™ Gas Grills that are set to operate with L.P. gas come with a high capacity hose and regulator assembly. (Note: Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill or a

replacement pressure regulator and hose assemblies specified by the manufacture).

This assembly is designed to connect directly to a standard 20 lb. L.P. cylinder. L.P. Cylinders are not included with the grill. L.P.

Cylinders they can be purchased separately at an independent dealer.

L.P. TANK INFORMATION

Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.

L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D (Overfilling Prevention Device). The device shuts off the flow of gas to a cylinder after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential for release of gas when the cylinder is heated, averting a fire or possible injury.

The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specified, as applicable, for connection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CGA-V-1. Cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. (The

L.P. cylinder must have an overfill protection device, OPD, and a collar to protect the cylinder valve.)

The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P. gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/

CAS-B339, “ Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission.”

L.P. TANK USE

• When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to insure proper gas flow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank, when gas is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas supply. Opening the valve rapidly may simulate a gas leak, causing the safety device to activate, restricting gas flow causing low flames. Opening the valve slowly will insure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.

• When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the “ OFF” position.

• The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.

• The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being used again.

• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage

or any other enclosed area.

• Only a qualified gas supplier should refill the L.P.

DO NOT store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or near the grill. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.
