WARNING
Fire Hazard
Do not use grill near combustible
materials.
Do not store combustible materials
near grill.
Doing so can result in death or fire.
Natural Gas Use
This installation must conform with local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of local codes,
installations must conform with either the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 -latest
edition, or CAN/CGA-B149.1 Natural Gas and
Propane installation code.
1. Place grill into outdoor enclosure, but leave
enough room in back to connect to gas
supply and electrical plug-in.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved
"outdoor"gas supply line.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
Failure to do so can result in death, ex-
plosion, or fire.
2. Make gas connections.
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to
connect the grill to the existing gas line.
• If local codes permit, use an outdoor
flexible stainless steel tubing gas
connector, design-certified by CSA
International, to connect the grill to the
rigid gas supply line. A 5/8" diameter
line is recommended. Using a wrench
to tighten, connect the gas supply to
the grill. Use pipe joint compound on
all non-flared male threads. Do not kink
or damage the flexible connector when
moving the grill.
• Pipe-joint compounds suitable for use
with Natural gas must be used. Do not
use Teflon® tape
