GAS SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Each appliance is set and tested at the factory for the type of gas supply to be used.
Identify the type of gas, either Natural Gas or LP gas and make sure that the marking on the data
plate (rating plate) matches the gas being supplied to the side burner. The data plate is located on
the inside right hand panel of the side burner or underside of top panel.
All gas connections should be made by a 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.
WARNING:
CHECK TO ENSURE THAT THE GAS SUPPLY HOSE DOES NOT COME IN
CONTACT WITH ANY HOT SURFACE OF THE SIDE BURNER.
NEVER CONNECT THE SIDE BURNER TO AN UNREGULATED GAS
SUPPLY.
L.P. GAS (LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM /PROPANE)
If your side burner is factory built for L.P., the regulator supplied is set for 11” water
column and is for use with L.P. gas only. The factory-recommended regulator and hose must be
used with a 20 lb. L.P. cylinder.

disconnect the gas supply cylinder and leave the cylinder outdoors out of reach of children and
