Gas Safety and Installation Warnings
•
All gas connections should be made by a Professional qualified technician and in accordance with local codes and
ordinances. The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with either the national Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA-B149.1,
Natural Gas Installation Code or CAN/CGA-B149.2, Propane Installation Code.
•
Always check the Rating Plate to make sure the gas supply you are hooking up to is the gas type the
appliance is manufactured for.
•
Check the rating label on the left hand outside of the unit.
•
Do not twist the gas supply hose.
•
Before each use, visually inspect the gas supply hose for cracks, cuts or excessive wear. Replace the hose
if necessary. Check for gas leaks before each use.
•
Gas Specifications: Be sure that the gas supplied to the appliance conforms to the model you
purchased. A Natural Gas appliance requires natural gas to operate; an LP appliance requires liquid propane gas to
operate.
•
Never connect the appliance to an unregulated gas supply line. Appliances operated without a regulator are unsafe
and will not be serviced until installed properly and safely. Unsafe operation without a gas regulator will void the
warranty of the appliance.
•
Appliances operated with NG (natural gas) gas must be installed with the NG regulator supplied with the unit and
set to 4.0" water column pressure.
•
Appliances operated with LP (liquid propane) gas must be installed with an LP regulator set to 11" water column
pressure.
•
Please contact your dealer and use a licensed contractor or installer to convert your appliance to the different
gas type.
•
CHECK TO ENSURE THAT THE GAS SUPPLY HOSE DOES NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY HOT
SURFACE, SHARP OR ROUGH EDGES OF THE GRILL OR OUTDOOR KITCHEN CONSTRUCTION. DO
NOT KINK THE GAS LINE WHEN INSTALLING.
