Gas Conversion:
No attempt shall be made to convert the grill from the gas
specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different
gas type without consulting the serving gas supplier. The
conversion kit supplied with grill must be used. See "Gas
Conversions" section for instructions.
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this grill must be used.
The inlet (supply) pressure to the regulator should be as follows
for proper operation:
LP Gas:
Operating pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP
Inlet (supply) pressure: 11" to 14" (27.9 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP
Natural Gas:
Operating pressure: 4" (10.2 cm) WCP
Inlet (supply) pressure: 7" to 14" (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP
maximum.
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
(supply) pressure.
Burner Requirements for High Altitude
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 ft. (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft. (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at
a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft. (304.8 m) above sea level.
Orifice conversion is required. See "Assistance" section to
order.
Gas Supply Line Pressure Testing
Testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) or 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
(gauge):
The grill and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Testing below 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) or 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
(gauge) or lower:
The grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal
to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

LP Gas Conversion Using a Local LP Gas Supply
If you want to convert to local LP gas supply, contact your local
gas company for specific instructions.
Natural Gas Conversion
Conversion must be made by a qualified gas technician. The
qualified Natural gas technician shall provide the Natural gas
supply to the selected grill location in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 - latest edition,
and local codes. For conversion to Natural gas, the Natural Gas
Conversion Kit supplied with the grill must be used. See the
"Gas Conversions" section.
IMPORTANT: The gas installation must conform with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 - latest edition.
The gas supply line shall be equipped with an approved shutoff
valve. This valve should be located in the same area as the grill
and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and
closing. Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is
for turning on or shutting off gas to the grill.
