GAS CONNECTIONS

LP GAS

Accessories set up for LP gas come equipped with an LP hose/
regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP
cylinder. (Type 1).
All fi ttings necessary to attach the assembly to the accessory are
included.
LP cylinder with type 1 valve connection
Permanently plumbed LP connections, such as those in line with
a bulk cylinder, require a 4/11 regulator.
When using the 4/11 regulator you must ensure that it is set
for the proper fuel type. This is done by removing the regulator
cap and gasket and looking at the bottom of the plunger to see
what fuel type is visible. This is the regulator fuel setting. NAT is
for natural gas and LP is for propane gas. The LP setting can be
further identifi ed by the large diameter disk on the bottom of
the plunger. To change from one gas to the other simply push
the plunger to the side to snap it out of the cap, turn the plunger
so it reads the desired gas type on the bottom, and push the
plunger until it snaps back into place in the cap then replace the
cap into the regulator.
Never connect an unregulated gas line to the grill.
When exchanging your cylinder for a refi ll, exchange only for a
Type 1 20lb cylinder with an over-fi ll protection device.

Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve.
A dented or rusty LP cylinder may be hazardous and should be
avoided. If in doubt, have it checked by your LP supplier.
Always check for leaks after every LP cylinder change. (See
INDEX: "Leak Testing" for further details.)
Always shut off the LP-gas supply at the cylinder when the
accessory is not in use.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out
of the reach of children. If your accessory is stored indoors, the LP
cylinder must be stored outside.

LP CONNECTIONS

Make sure the LP cylinder valve is fully closed. It is possible for the
valve to be open without releasing gas but, as soon as you start
connecting the regulator, gas will leak from the connection.
Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve and turn the black
coupler clockwise until the coupler is hand tight. Do not over-
tighten this connection.
To disconnect the coupler, fi rst make sure the main cylinder valve
is turned off . Grasp the coupler and turn counter clockwise. Always
leak-test the connection after refi lling or exchanging LP cylinders.
(See INDEX: "Leak Testing" for further details.)

Gas conversion kits are available from to allow the grill to operate
on either Natural Gas or LPG. These kits should be installed by a
qualifi ed technician.
These kits come with complete installation instructions and should
be read completely and fully understood before installing the
