Safety and Installation Instructions
The outdoor gas grill and its individual gas shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system before any pressure testing of that system at test pressures equal to or greater than 1/2
Psig (3.5 kPa)
The outdoor gas grill must be isolated from the main gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 Psig (3.5 kPa).
The supply line must be sized and installed to provide a sufficient supply of gas to meet the maximum
demand of the grill without undue loss of pressure. A 3/4" ID is recommended. The sealant used on
threaded joints of gas pipe must be of a type resistant to the action of LP and Natural gas. It is also
recommended that no more than 36" of flex line be used in the installation.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS:
Never test for leaks with a lighted match or any other type of flame.
Prior to first use, at the beginning of each new season, or after changing or refilling the gas cylinder you
must check for gas leaks.
Follow these steps to check for gas leaks:
I - Make a soapy solution by mixing one part liquid detergent and one part water.
2 - Turn off control valves. Turn gas on at the source.
3 - Apply the soapy solutions to all gas connections. Bubbles will appear in the soap if the
connections are not properly sealed.
4 - Tighten the connections if necessary.
5 - Repeat step 3 and 4 until no bubbles appear.
6 - If you have detected a gas leak that you cannot repair, turn off the gas at the source,
disconnect the fuel line, and call your dealer or gas supplier for assistance.
ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS:
Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used:
the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance, and,
the cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally or touch hot surfaces.
Outdoor extension cords should be used with outdoor use products. They are surface marked with suffix
letters "W" or "W-A" and with a tag stating "Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliances"
To protect against electrical shock, the power cord and plug should be kept dry and off the ground.
Do not clean this product with water spray; do not spray cleaners into the lamp socket area.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged power cord or power plug or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service
facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
