Gas Requirements - Kalamazoo K750GS Use And Care Manual

Liquid Propane Gas Requirements (30-Pound Cylinder)
Verify the type of gas your grill has been configured for by the factory by checking the serial
tag inside the door of the grill cabinet. Grills configured for liquid propane (LP) gas are
orificed differently than grills configured for natural gas (NG). Grills configured for use with
30-pound LP cylinders (Type 1) are shipped with a dual-stage LP regulator hose assembly
attached.
Connection: LP regulator hose assembly (included) connects to the grill via 0.5" NPT male
with a 0.375" flare adapter (included).
Operating Pressure: 11.0" W.C. (cooktop burners) and 8.0" W.C. (all other burners via
additional regulator installed inside grill).
To connect the LP regulator hose assembly to the LP tank, first make sure the main valve on the tank is
completely closed. Make sure also that all control valves on the front of the grill are OFF.
Thread the regulator inlet over the tank valve. Use care to ensure proper alignment of the threaded coupler
and avoid cross-threading or damaging the coupler. Turn the green coupler clockwise until tightened up, but
do not over-tighten.
IMPORTANT:
Always close the main valve on the
tank before disconnecting or transporting the tank.
IMPORTANT: After connecting a fresh LP tank,
you may need to purge air from the system. Before
lighting, open the main valve on the tank. Turn the
control valves on the grill to the HIGH position for
about 15 seconds to purge air from the system.
Turn the control valves on the grill OFF and wait 5
minutes for any gas to clear. Finally, continue with
the normal lighting procedure.
The installation must conform with local codes. In
the absence of local codes, the installation must
conform with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54; Storage and Handling of Liquefied
Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58; Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1; or Propane
Storage and Handling, CSA B149.2.
Cylinder Requirements: Never use a
dented or rusty LP tank. Never use a
cylinder with a damaged valve. Always
check for leaks after connecting an LP tank.
