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
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet 

(supply) pressure.

collar.

INSTALLATION 

INSTRUCTIONS

Make Gas Connection

LP Gas:

IMPORTANT: A 20 lb LP gas fuel tank must be purchased 

separately.

IMPORTANT: The gas pressure regulator/hose assembly 

supplied with the grill must be used. Replacement gas pressure 

regulator/hose assembly specific to your model, is available from 

your outdoor grill dealer.
To Install the 20 lb LP Gas Fuel Tank:
1. 
Open cabinet doors.
2. Set tank in hole in the cart base. 
3. Screw the gas pressure regulator/hose assembly on to the 

20 lb LP gas fuel tank as shown.

4. Place the 20 lb LP gas fuel tank secure ring over the collar of 

the tank as shown.

NOTE: The 20 lb LP gas fuel tank orientation shown in the 

illustration above must be followed to provide proper vapor 

withdrawal.

5. Turn on the gas supply. Wait a few minutes for gas to move 

through the gas line.

6. Test all connections by brushing on an approved 

noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a 

leak. Correct any leak found.

Check the Burners

The burners are tested and factory-set for most efficient 

operation. However, variations in gas supply and other conditions 

may make minor adjustments to air shutter or low flame setting 

necessary.
It is recommended that a qualified person make burner 

adjustments.
Checking the grill burner flames requires removing the grate and 

flavor grids.

Burner Flame Characteristics

The flames of the grill burners and side burners (on some models) 

should be blue and stable with no excessive noise or lifting (LP 

gas flames will have a slightly yellow tip). A yellow flame indicates 

not enough air. If flame is noisy or lifts away from the burner, there 

is too much air. Some yellow tips on flames when the burner is 

set to HI setting are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot 

deposits appear.

Check that burners are not blocked by dirt, debris, insect nests, 

etc. and clean as necessary.
