piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of
1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
• The appliance 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
pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
• This grill is designed for natural gas use at 7 inch water column supply pressure. Verify supply
pressure with your local gas company. Not for use with LP gas.
• Connections to gas source must be performed by a certified plumber.
