Gas Requirements
Never connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance.Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either
natural or L.P., and make sure the marking on the appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply.
The rating plate is located on the inside back wall of the grill.
NOTE:
Units on carts require the use of a grounded three-prong outdoor extension cord (not supplied)
connected to a 120vac GFI outlet. Built-in units require a 120vac GFI outlet within 5 feet of the
grill for the transformer or 24” for a rotisserie motor.
All electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in accordance with local codes or in
the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990, and the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1988. This unit was designed for use with the 24vac, 40va (volt amp)
transformer supplied with the grill.The transformer box uses special weatherproof connections that
must be used. If a replacement is required, contact your dealer or call the factory.
NOTE:
Using a transformer kit from any other device may damage the grill and void the warranty.
An installer supplied gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location. All pipe

grill. Total gas consumption of the grill with all burners on“ HI”.
48EBQRS=124,000 BTU/hr; 48EBQARS=134,000 BTU/hr; 36EBQARS=94,000 BTU/hr
The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.). The
appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa). The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence
of local codes, with the national fuel gas code, ANSI Z223.1a-1988. Installation in Canada must be in
