Gas Connection Requirements - KitchenAid 740-0780 Installation Instructions And Use & Care Manual

Refer to the model/serial rating plate for information on the type
of gas that can be used. If this information does not agree with
the type of gas available, check with your local gas supplier.
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 the grill must be used. See "Gas
Conversions" section.
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 ½ 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 ½ psig (3.5 kPa).
Testing below ½ 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 ½ psig (3.5
kPa).

Gas Connection Requirements

This grill is equipped for use with a 20 lb LP gas fuel tank (fuel tank not
supplied). A gas pressure regulator/hose assembly is supplied.
A
A. Gas pressure regulator/hose assembly
Any brand of 20 lb LP gas fuel tank is acceptable for use with the grill
provided they are compatible with the grill tank tray.
The grill is also design-certified by CSA International for local LP gas
supply or for Natural gas with appropriate conversion.
20 lb LP Gas Fuel Tank
The 20 lb LP gas fuel tank must be mounted and secured.
1. Open cabinet doors.
2. Loosen the tank tray locking screw.
3. Place the 20 lb LP gas fuel tank bottom collar into the mounting hole
in the tank tray.
4. Tighten the locking screw against the bottom collar of the 20 lb LP
gas fuel tank to secure.

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 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.
