General Information
This Gas Barbecue Is Certified Under Canadian And American National Standards, CSA 1.6a-2008 and ANSI
Z21.58a-2008 respectively for Outdoor Gas Grills and should be installed to conform with local codes. In
absence of local codes, install to the current CAN/CSA-B149.1 Propane Installation Code in Canada or to the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 in the United States.
If a rotisserie motor is used, it must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in absence of
local codes, with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code in Canada or the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 in the United States.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 : The burning of gas fuel creates by-products, some of which are on the list as
substances known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. When cooking with gas,
always ensure adequate ventilation to the unit, to minimize exposure to such substances.
Propane Cylinder Specifications
WARNING!
If these instructions are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
WARNING!
Do not store a spare propane cylinder on the shelf beneath the barbecue.
If the gas grill is being supplied with propane from a portable cylinder, a regulator specified by the manufacturer
must be used. The regulator must supply a pressure of 11 inches water column (0.39 PSI) to the gas grill and
have a QCC1 type fitting. Cylinders to be used with this unit must be supplied with a QCC1 cylinder valve. A
QCC1 cylinder has a positive seating connection, which will not allow gas flow until a positive seal has been
achieved. It is also equipped with an excess flow device. In order to attain full flow to the grill, the valves must
be in the off position when the cylinder valve is turned on.
A dented or rusty cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane supplier. Never use a
cylinder with a damaged valve. Use only a propane supply cylinder constructed and marked in accordance with
the specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-b339, Cylinders, Spheres
and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable or the Specifications for
LP-Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.). Cart models have been designed for use
with a 20 lb (9.1 kg) size propane cylinder only (not supplied).
The propane cylinder must be provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection
for outdoor cooking appliances. The propane cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in
a propane cylinder valve type QCC1, and a safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor
space of the cylinder. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and the cylinder shall
include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The cylinder shall incorporate a listed OPD (overfill protection
device). Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance. Never fill the cylinder beyond
80 percent full. If the preceding information is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury
may occur.
Gas Hook-Up Instructions
WARNING!
This grill is designed for non-combustible enclosures only, and must be installed and serviced
by a qualified installer to local codes.
WARNING!
Cabinet frame, cabinet, and counter top must be made from non-combustible material.
WARNING!
The pressure supplied to the grill must conform to what is listed on the rating plate of
the grill (11”WC for Propane, 7” WC for Natural Gas). If the supply pressure is greater, a regulator must be
installed.
BUILT IN PROPANE GAS HOOK-UP : The piping up to the gas grill is the responsibility of the installer and piping
should be located as shown in the built-in instructions. A flexible metal connector is included to simplify the
installation of the unit. Connect this flexible metal connector to the flare fitting on the end of the manifold.
Connect the other end of the connector to the gas piping. Ensure that the connector does not pass through a
wall, floor, ceiling or partition, and is protected from damage. Do not use a hose to connect the unit except to
connect the cylinder regulator to the piping system. It must be connected with rigid pipe, copper tube or an
approved flexible metal connector which complies with Z21.4 /CSA 6.10.
The installation must comply with CAN B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane installation code in Canada, or to the
National Fuel Gas code, ANSI Z223.1 in the United States. The gas supply pipe must be sufficiently sized to supply
