Bulk Supply Liquid Propane Gas Requirements
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 a bulk LP supply
are shipped with a gray hose with a quick-connect fitting.
Connection: Quick-connect hose assembly (included) connects to the grill via 0.5" NPT male with a
0.375" flare adapter (included).
Input Pressure: 11.0" W.C.
Input Connection: 0.5" male NPT fitting
Operating Pressure: 11.0" W.C. (cooktop burners) and 8.0" W.C. (all other burners via additional
regulator installed inside grill).
IMPORTANT:
Always close gas supply shut-off valve
before disconnecting the grill gas supply hose.
IMPORTANT:
Diameter and length of the gas supply
pipe may limit the pressure and BTU delivery of gas
to the grill. The installer must ensure proper delivery
to the grill or it will not operate properly.
IMPORTANT:
An installer-supplied safety shut-off
valve MUST be installed on the gas supply line for the
grill. The valve should be easily accessed and located
between 3 and 20 feet away from the grill.
All gas connections should be made by a qualified
technician. The installation and all installer-supplied
parts must conform to local codes. In the absence
of local codes, the installation and all parts should
conform to 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.
All pipe sealants must be an approved type.

Leak Testing
Although gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete
test must be performed after installation due to possible mishandling during shipping or installation.
Periodic checks are also recommended. Immediately check for leaks if you smell gas.
Never use an open flame to look for leaks.
Before Testing: Extinguish all open flames. Do not smoke.
You will need a spray bottle, a brush or a rag. For LP units using a 30-pound cylinder, a full cylinder should
be used.
IMPORTANT:
Homeowners should only check for leaks on the gas connections that are external to the grill. If
the valves or other internal connections need to be checked, please call a qualified technician or Kalamazoo
Outdoor Gourmet customer service at +1.800.868.1699.
To Conduct the Test:
Make a soap solution of one part liquid dish soap and one part water.
Make sure all grill control valves are in the OFF position. Turn the gas supply ON. Use a spray bottle, brush
or rag to apply the mild soap solution to all connections from the supply line or LP cylinder to the connection
on the grill. Check all connections. Soap bubbles will appear at any connections with a leak. Turn OFF the gas
supply and tighten any leaky connections. Recheck, applying more mild soap solution.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do
not leak.
Electrical Connection
The grill requires AC power for ignition, the control panel lighting, and rotisserie motor functionality. It must be
connected with an outdoor-rated, grounded electric extension cord.
The grill, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
See additional electrical precautions on page 37.
