WarnInG
• Never use Propane Gas in a Grill that has been configured to
burn Natural Gas, (and never use Natural Gas in a Grill that
has been configured to use Propane Gas), to avoid possible bodily injury. Always consult the Rating
Label on the back of the Grill to confirm that it has been configured to burn Natural Gas.
• Always utilitze a qualifed service agency to perform all required gas supply plumbing. In the U.S., the
supply connection must be made in accordance with local code or, in the absence of local codes, with
the national fuel gas codes, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54. In Canada, the supply connection shall be carried
out in accordance with the provincial authorities having jurisdiction and in accordance with the require-
ments of the CSA 1-B149.1 installation code.
• A shutoff value must be installed between the gas grill and the main supply. For natural gas, use a
3/8" or 1/2" natural gas supply line capable of an input of at least 100,000 BTUs (depending on the
model).
• Always disconnect the Grill and close its individual manual shutoff valve, when conducting pressure
tests of the gas supply piping system at pressures which exceed 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
• Always isolate the Grill from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve.
always conduct the following test for gas leaks before attempting to light the Grill to prevent a
possible fire or explosion:
1. Always confirm that all burner control knobs are in the OFF position.
2. Always connect the gas supply hose first and then open the gas shutoff valve.
3. Always use a brush or spray bottle to apply a 50/50 solution of liquid soap and water to all connection
points (as illustrated in Figure 5) to test for gas leaks. Never use a match or open flame for that pur-
pose.
4. Always look for bubbles to appear, as the appearance of bubbles will indicate a gas leak. Always turn
off the gas immediately at the gas supply valve and tighten the connection, if you find that a leak ex-
ists.
5. Always repeat this procedure until no further gas leaks are found to exist, before lighting the Grill.
6. Never attempt to light this Grill, however, if a leak cannot be stopped. Always call your gas supplier
promptly to obtain assistance.
