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).
