Gas Supply Requirements
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT:
This installation must conform with all local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must
conform with American National Standard National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 -latest edition or CAN/CGA B149.1 -latest
edition.
IMPORTANT:
Grill must be connected to a regulated gas supply.
• Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 feet (610 m). For elevations above 2,000
feet (610 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000
feet (305 m) above sea level. Orifi ce conversion is required.
Contact KitchenAid Customer Experience Center.
• Refer to the model/serial rating plate for information on the type
of gas that can be used. If this information does not agree with
the type of gas available, check with your local gas supplier.
No attempt shall be made to convert the grill from the gas
specifi ed on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different
gas type without consulting the serving gas supplier. The
conversion kits specifi ed must be used.
NATURAL GAS:
Set pressure: 4 inches (10.2 cm) W.C.
Supply pressure: 7-14 inches 17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) W.C. maximum.
L.P. GAS:
Operating pressure: 11 inches (27.9 cm) W.C.
Supply pressure: 11 to 14 inches (27.9 to 35.5 cm) W.C.
Line pressure testing:
Testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) or 14 inches (35.5 cm) W.C.
(gauge):
• The grill and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Built-In Outdoor Grills
(combustible construction)
Natural Gas:
Built-in outdoor grill models are equipped for use with Natural gas.
They are design-certifi ed by CSA International for L.P. (propane or
butane) gases with appropriate conversion.
Built-in models are set for natural gas use and have a pressure
regulator with 1/2

female pipe threads.
The supply line shall be equipped with an approved shutoff valve.
This valve should be located in the same area as the grill and
should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing.
Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning
on or shutting off gas to the appliance.

L.P. gas conversion from a local L.P. gas supply:
Conversion must be made by a qualifi ed person. The qualifi ed
natural gas technician shall provide the L.P. gas supply to the
selected grill location in accordance with the National Fuel Gas
Code NFPA 54 and local codes. To convert to L.P. gas, the
L.P. Gas Conversion Kit No. 4396311 must be used. Follow
Instructions included with the kit.
L.P. gas conversion using an L.P. fuel tank:
To convert to L.P. gas, the L.P. Gas Conversion Kit No. 4396311
must be used. Follow Instructions included with kit.
An L.P. gas cylinder, not larger than 20 pounds, must be
purchased separately.
Testing below 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) or 14 inches (35.5 cm) W.C.
(gauge) or lower:
• The grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal
to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved “outdoor”
gas supply line.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 11” (28 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
