Gas Requirements

GENERAL INFORMATION

Never attach an unregulated gas line to the appliance. Connection to an unregulated gas line can
cause excessive heat or fire.

Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either Natural Gas (N.G.) or Liquid Propane (L.P.), and make sure the serial plate
agrees with that of the supply. Conversion kits are available separately for an additional cost which will enable you to convert
your grill from L.P. to N.G. or to convert your grill from N.G. to L.P. Please see your local dealer for more information.

NOTE: Always have a qualified service technician perform difficult conversions or modifications.

For natural gas installations, an installer must supply a gas shutoff valve that is easily accessible to the grill. All installer sup­plied parts must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70­1990, and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1998.

All pipe sealants must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of L.P. gases. Never use pipe sealant on
flare fittings. All gas connections should be made by a competent qualified service technician and in accordance with local
codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1-1998. Gas conversions kits may be purchased separately. When ordering gas conversion kits, have the model number,
and the type of gas (N.G. or L.P.) used for your grill.

This grill and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.).

This grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off 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.).

The installation of this grill must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with National Fuel Code, ANSI
Z223.1a-1998.

Installation in Canada must be in accordance with the Standard Can1-b149.1 and or .2 (installation code for gas burning appli­ances and equipment) and local codes.

17

Gas Requirements

L.P. GAS INSTALLATION

AmanaTMGas Grills that are set to operate with L.P. gas come with a high capacity hose and regulator assembly. (Note:
Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill or a replacement pressure regulator
and hose assemblies specified by AmanaTM). This assembly is designed to connect directly to a standard 20 lb. L.P.

cylinder. L.P. Cylinders are not included with the grill. L.P. Cylinders can be purchased separately at an independent deal­er.

L.P. TANK INFORMATION

Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.

L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D (Overfilling Prevention Device). The device shuts off the flow of gas to a cylin­der after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential for release of gas when the cylinder is heated, averting a fire
or possible injury.

The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specified, as applicable, for
connection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CGA-V-1.
Cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. (The L.P. cylinder must have an overfill
protection device, OPD, on it.)

The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P. gas cylinders
of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CAS-B339, “Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods.”

Pre Operation Leak Testing

ENERAL INFORMATION

G

lthough all internal gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must

A
be performed at the installation site due to possible shifting during shipment, installation or excessive pressure unknow­ingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks and immediately check the system if the
smell of gas is detected.

BEFORE TESTING

Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame.

Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.

TESTING

1. Turn off the burner control knobs.

2. Turn the top knob of the fuel supply cylinder counterclockwise (right to left) two (2) rotations to open.

3. Apply the soap solution to connections of the fuel supply assembly. If no soap bubbles appear, there is no gas leak. If

bubbles form at the connections, a leak is detected. If a leak is detected, immediately turn off the gas supply, tighten
any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and repeat steps 1-3.

4. Turn off the knob on the fuel supply cylinder.

5. Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment to release the pressure in the hose, then turn the control knobs back off.

6. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.

Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to the regulator.
Have a qualified service technician leak test the grill any time a part of the gas system is replaced.

Also it is recommended to perform a leak test at least once a year whether or not the L.P. gas supply cylinder has been
disconnected.

NOTE: When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and tighten all loose connections, including the side burner.
A slight leak in the system can result in a low flame, or hazardous condition. Most L.P. gas tanks now come equipped
with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank, when gas is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas
supply. A leak may significantly reduce the gas flow making the grill difficult to light or causing low flames.

NOTE: If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your local gas company or the dealer you
purchased the appliance from. If necessary, replace the faulty part with the manufacturer’s recommended
replacement part. A slight leak could cause a fire.

Care and Maintenance

RIP TRA

D

The drip tray located below the grill, inside the cart, should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy buildup of debris.

NOTE: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean.

Important: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless it is covered (cover sold separately).
Rain water can collect inside of the grill, the grill cart or the drip tray if left uncovered. If the drip tray is not
cleaned after use and the grill is left uncovered, the drip tray will fill with water causing grease and water to spill
into the grill cart. We recommend cleaning and storing the drip tray after every use.

Y

COOKING GRA

The cooking grates can be cleaned immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the grill. Wear a barbecue
mitt and scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the grill is allowed to cool down, cleaning the grates will be easier
if removed from the grill and cleaned with a mild detergent.

STAINLESS STEEL

After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal.

Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of the grain of the metal. Specks of grease can gather on
the surface of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give a worn appearance. For removal, use an non-abra­sive oven cleaner in conjunction with a stainless cleaner.

NOTE: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.
NOTE: Always keep your grill covered when not in use.

Troubleshooting Your Grill

GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING

You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:

The smell of gas.

•

• Flames appearing mostly yellow. (some yellow at the tips is OK)

• The grill will not get hot enough.

• Burners make a snapping noise.

• The grill heats unevenly.

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING

Spider and insects can nest in the burners of this or any other grill and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner.
This is very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and
making it unsafe to operate. We recommend you check the grill and remove any spiders, insects and webs at least once
a year to reduce this risk.
