GAS SUPPLY
The local gas authority or supplier should be consulted at the installation planning stage in order to
establish the availability of an adequate supply of gas (NG or LP). If it is a new installation, have the
gas authorities or supplier check the meter size and piping to assure that the unit is supplied with the
necessary amount of gas supply and pressure to operate the unit(s).
Gas connections should be made by a qualified plumber, or your professional outdoor appliance installer.
All fixed (non-mobile) appliances must be fitted with an accessible upstream gas shutoff valve as a means of
isolating the appliance for emergency shut off and for servicing.
Make certain new piping and connections have been made in a clean manner and have been purged so that
piping compound, chips, etc. will not clog regulators, valves, orifices, or burners. Use pipe joint compound
/ thread sealant approved for natural and LP gases.
NEVER CONNECT THE GRILL TO AN UNREGULATED GAS SUPPLY. Before proceeding, ensure the
appliance is fitted for Natural or Liquid Propane gas. Connecting to an improper gas type will result in
poor performance and increased risk of damage or injury. Gas type and gas consumption (BTU per hour)
for each burner type is shown on the rating label affixed to the underside of the drip tray.
Installation of this cooking appliance must be made in accordance with local codes. In the absence of local
codes, this unit should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code No.
Z223.1/ NFPA 54,
Natural Gas and Propane Installation code
CSA B149-1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code B149.2.
NOTE:
See rating label for manifold pressure for the type of gas of your appliance.
CONVERSION KITS
Gas conversion kits are available from your Hestan dealer should you need to convert an LP unit to NG, or
vice-versa.
HIGH ALTITUDE KITS
If you live in a high altitude area, 2,000 ft. (610 m) or more above sea level, your grill will require different
orifices for proper combustion and performance. High altitude kits are available through Hestan
Customer Service. Please have your model and serial number information ready when you call.
