could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or unsafe practice which,
if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to repair or alter the hose/valve/regulator
for any “assumed” defect. Any modification to this assembly will void
your warranty and create the risk of a gas leak and fire.
Use only authorized replacement parts supplied by manufacturer.
This conversion kit shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and
all applicable codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. If the informa-
tion in these instructions is not followed exactly, a fire, explosion or production of carbon
monoxide may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. The assembler
or qualified service agency is responsible for the proper installation of this kit. The instal-
lation is not proper and complete until the operation of the converted appliance is
checked as specified in the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the kit.
WARNING

USE AND CARE Natural Gas Connections and Service Regulators Above 1/2 psi.
Prior to 1998, all residual gas service regulators were set with an outlet pressure of 7 inches
water column.
In the 1998 edition of NFPA 54, the National Fuel Gas Code, a change was made allowing
service regulators of 2 and 5 psi.
With this change it was also required that an in line regulator be connected between the
service regulator and the appliance regulator if the 2 or 5 psi system is used. This additional
regulator is not supplied with the product.
It is possible for a consumer, making the connection themselves, or a plumber, not check-
ing, to tap into a 2 or 5 psi line. If a pressure of 2 psi or greater is supplied to the appliance
regulator on certain grills it will shut down and not deliver any gas to the grill. Other con-
cerns are the quick disconnect socket and hose which are only rated to 1/2 psi.
If the quick disconnect socket, hose, and grill are properly connected and still not getting
gas, delivery pressure needs to be verified. If pressure is greater than 1/2 psi, make sure that
an in line regulator is present.
Once the grill has been over-pressured, the regulator may or may not have been damaged.
The best practice is to replace the regulator.
This grill is designed for natural gas use at 7 inch water
column supply pressure. Verify supply pressure with your local gas company.
If supply pressure is different than 7 inch,
contact a certified plumber for assistance. Not for use with LP gas.
Incorrect connection can result in a gas leak with possibility of fire.
DANGER
For residential use only. Do not use for commercial cooking.

CONNECTING YOUR
GRILL TO THE
NATURAL GAS SOURCE
1. A professionally-installed shut-off valve between the supply piping and the
socket is recommended, but not required, by the National Fuel Gas Code.
Socket connection must be made outdoors.
2. Coat the gas supply pipe nipple with gas resistant dope or Teflon tape.
Screw socket onto gas supply pipe (house gas source) as shown in Figure A below,
and wrench-tighten.
The quick disconnect socket should never be connected to the grill.
Direction of gas flow is indicated on the socket.
CAUTION
3. Pull back the sleeve on the quick disconnect socket and insert the unattached
end of the gas hose into the socket. Release the sleeve and continue pushing the
hose into the socket until the sleeve snaps into the locked position. See Figure B.

4. When the quick disconnect socket and the gas hose are connected, a valve in the sock-
et opens automatically to permit full gas flow. When the gas hose is disconnected, the
valve in the socket instantly and positively shuts off the flow of gas. Because the valve
in the socket positively shuts off the flow of gas, the grill can be disconnected from the
gas source by disconnecting the gas hose from the quick disconnect socket. The socket
should be left attached to the gas source (house piping). Figure C, on the following
page, shows properly connected hose and socket.
Fig. C
With proper assembly, the gas hose cannot be removed without pushing the quick
disconnect sleeve back. To disconnect, push sleeve back and pull plug out of sleeve (this
automatically shuts off gas).
Please Note: Hose and assembly are C.S.A. listed for natural gas, manufactured
gas, mixed gas and for liquefied petroleum and for LP Gas-Air mixtures on basis
of 0.64 specific gravity for 1000 BTU’s per cubic foot of gas at 0.3 in. water column
pressure drop. Only ANSI Z21.54 approved hoses should be used with this grill.
Pressure Tests: The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnect-
ed from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing on that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply pip-
ing system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
WARNING
Do not use hard metal piping of any kind to connect this
type of grill to natural gas source. Use only hose specified by manufacturer.
Using hard metal piping or convoluted metal tubing is an
unsafe practice. Movement of the grill can cause breakage of metal pipe.
4
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment,
a COMPLETE gas tightness check must be performed following the installation of the NG
conversion Kit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the
smell of gas is detected.
WARNING
Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all flames. Never leak test with
an open flame.
Leak Testing
1. Turn all grill control knobs to OFF.
2. Be sure gas hose is tightly connected to gas source.
3. Completely open gas source. If you hear a rushing sound, turn gas off immediately.
There is a major leak at the connection. Correct before proceeding.
4. Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water.
You will need a spray or brush to apply the solution to the fittings. Apply solution.
5. If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close gas source immediately
and retighten connection. If leaks cannot be stopped do not try to repair.
Call for replacement parts. Order new parts by giving the serial, model number
and name of items needed to the Grill Service Center at 1-877-707-5463
6. Always close gas source after performing leak test.
Hose Check
• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn. Replace damaged hoses before
using grill. Use only valve/hose/regulator specified by manufacturer.
WARNING
Do not use hard metal piping of any kind to connect this
type of grill to natural gas source. Use only hose specified by manufacturer.
Using hard metal piping or convoluted metal tubing is an
unsafe practice. Movement of the grill can cause breakage of metal pipe.

Storing Your Grill
• Clean cooking grates.
• Store in dry location.
• Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a
variety of grill covers offered by manufacturer.
• Store grill indoors ONLY if gas source is turned off and disconnected.
• When removing grill from storage, follow the Burner Maintenance
instructions in the Grilling Guide before starting grill.
CAUTION
Natural Hazard – Spiders
FACT: Sometimes spiders and other small insects climb into the burner tubes attached to
the burners. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs. The webs or nests can be
very small, but they are very strong and can block the flow of gas. Clean burners prior to
use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season, or after a period of one month not
being used.
An obstruction can result in a “flashback” (a fire in the burner tubes). The grill may still
light, but the obstruction does not allow full gas flow to the burners.
If you experience the following:
1. Smell gas.
2. Burner(s) will not light.
3. A small yellow flame from burner (should be blue).
4. Fire coming from around or behind control knob.
STOP!
Immediately turn off gas at gas source!
SOLUTION: Wait for grill to cool.
Follow the Burner Maintenance instructions in the Grilling Guide. Clean burners often.
Use a 12” pipe cleaner to clean out the burner tubes. You may also force a stream of
water from a hose nozzle through burner tubes to clean them.
