INSTALLATION / USE & CARE

For
freestanding
units using natural gas, using a metal fl ex hose
g
is recommended.
This is available at your local hardware store or from your
dealer.
LP GAS
Grills set up for LP gas come equipped with an LP hose/
regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP
cylinder. (Type 1). All fi ttings necessary to attach the assembly
to the grill are included.
Permanently plumbed LP connections, such as those in line
with a bulk cylinder, require a 4/11 regulator.
When using the 4/11 regulator you must ensure that it is set
for the proper fuel type. This is done by removing the regula-
tor cap and gasket and looking at the bottom of the plunger
to see what fuel type is visible. This is the regulator fuel
setting. NAT is for natural gas and LP is for propane gas. The
LP setting can be further identifi ed by the large diameter disk
on the bottom of the plunger. To change from one gas to the
other simply push the plunger to the side to snap it out of the
cap, turn the plunger so it reads the desired gas type on the
bottom, and push the plunger until it snaps back into place in
the cap then replace the cap into the regulator.
Never connect an unregulated gas line to the grill.
LP Cylinder Requirements
The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in accor-
dance with the specifi cations for LP gas cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) and designed for use
with a Type 1 system only.
Cylinders of free standing grills must be secured using the
provided cylinder retention system to avoid accidental move-
ment.
When exchanging your
cylinder for a refi ll,
exchange only for a
Type 1 20lb cylinder with
an over-fi ll protection
device.
Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve.
A dented or rusty LP cylinder may be hazardous and should
be avoided. If in doubt, have it checked by your LP supplier.
Always check for leaks after every LP cylinder change.
Always shut off the LP-gas supply at the cylinder when the
grill is not in use.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area
out of the reach of children. If your grill is stored indoors, the
LP cylinder must be stored outside.
LP Connections
Make sure the LP cylinder valve is fully closed. It is possible
for the valve to be open without releasing gas but, as soon
as you start connecting the regulator, gas will leak from the
connection.

Do not change the regulator/hose assembly or use
any other assembly than the one supplied with
your grill.
Do not attempt to use a 5LP-A equipped regulator/
hose assembly with a standard 510 POL cylinder/
valve assembly.
Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near
this appliance.
Never fi ll the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
If the information above is not followed exactly, a
