INSTALLATION

Continued 

OPTIONAL GA9050A ON/OFF SAFETy 

VALVE/PILOT kIT

For additional convenience and safety, or for 
propane/LP conversion, an optional ON/OFF 
safety valve/pilot kit is available. See 

Acces-

sories

, page 19.

 WARNING: you must use a 

ON/OFF safety valve/pilot kit for 

propane/LP conversion.

TESTING BURNER FOR LEAkS

1.  Generously apply noncorrosive leak de

-

tection fluid to all connections.

 WARNING: Never check for 

gas leaks with open flame.

2.  Light  burner  with shutoff valve  no more 

than  half  open  and  holding  a  match 
slightly in front of the pan (see 

Lighting 

Instructions

, page 11).

3.  Inspect all connections for bubbles, raw 

gas  odor,  or  flame  from  any  area  other 
than burner (leaks). If leaks are detected, 
shut off gas valve immediately. Tighten, 
or reassemble loose connection(s) using 
pipe joint compound until burner system 
is leak free.

4.  When  burner  is  tested  and  leak  free, 

observe  individual  tongues  of  flame  on 
burner. 

 

Note: Burner design includes more ports 
on the outside of the bar. Make sure that 

all  ports  are  clear  and  producing  flame 

evenly across burner. If any ports appear 
blocked, clear them by removing burner 
manifold and reaming ports with a modi-

fied paper clip or other suitable tool.

5.  When  finished  testing,  turn  gas  shutoff 

valve OFF to extinguish all flames.

ADDING PAN MATERIAL

1.  Open bag of ash bed material (vermiculite) 

and spread it evenly across burner pan 
to  the  top.  You  may  overflow  the  front 
and sides of pan to cover the entire pan 
and connecting hardware. Do not cover 
GA9050A or GA9150A valve.

2.  Open glowing embers and evenly cover 

ash bed material (vermiculite) in burner 
pan.

INSTALLING GRATE AND LOGS

1.  Place grate over burner pan where two 

outer horizontal supports on the grate fit 
into two pan positioning notches in rear 
vertical edge of pan.

2.  Slide  two  rear  log  grate  steps  over  two 

outer  horizontal  supports  on  grate  as 
shown in Figure 8.

3.  Place back log on onto grate steps (see 

Figure 9).
