IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:
Certain Liquid Propane dealers may ll liquid propane cylinders for use with the grill beyond
cylinder lling capacity. This “Over lling” may create a dangerous condition.
“Over lled” tanks can build up excess pressure. As a safety device, the tank’s pressure relief
valve will vent propane gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure. This vapor is combustible
and therefore can be ignited. To reduce this danger, you should take the following safety
precautions:
1. When you have your tank lled, be sure you tell the supplier to ll it to
no more than 3/4 (75%) of its total capacity.
2. If you own or use an extra tank, or have a disconnected tank, you
should NEVER store it near or under the grill/cart unit or heat box,
or near any other ignition or heat source. A metallic sticker with this
warning is attached to the grill to remind you, your family and all
others who may use your BBQ grill of these safety precautions.
Do not remove this sticker.
WARNING:
Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the “LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS” section of this manual. This grill is for outdoor use only.
SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
Push and hold the igniter button, turn the selected burner knob to “high”. If burner does
not light in 4 to 5 seconds turn knob “OFF” and wait 5 minutes before trying again for any
accumulated gas to dissipate.
Begin by ensuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions
•
provided with this product. Have your grill installed by a quali ed technician. Have the
installer show you where the gas supply shutoff valve is located so that you know where
to shut off the gas to the grill. If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of
checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly sealed, you can have a small leak
and therefore a faint gas smell. Finding a leak is not a “do-it-yourself” procedure. Some
leaks can only be found with the burner control in the “ON” position and this must be
done by a quali ed technician.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used.
•
Never allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the grill at any time. When in use,
portions of the grill get hot enough to cause severe burns.
Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill. Never allow children to
•
crawl inside the storage drawer.
Never let clothing, pot holders or other ammable materials come in contact with or get
•
too close to any grate, burner or hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and
result in personal injury.
Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the container
•
to burst.
Always use a covered hand when opening the grill lid and only do so slowly to allow heat
•
and steam to escape.

SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS
Never lean over an open grill. When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what
•
you are doing. Be certain you are pushing the ignition button when you attempt to light
the grill.
When using the grill, do not touch the grill burner grate or immediate surrounding area as
•
these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.
Grease is ammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting
•
grease deposits collect in the drip pan. Clean often.
Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill racks. This can severely upset
•
combustion air ow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be
melted knobs or damaged ignition components.
For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose tting garments or sleeves should never be
worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly ammable and should not
be worn while cooking. Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware or
other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. These types of materials may break with sudden
temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the manufacturer’s
directions.
WARNING:
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this and any other grill, and cause the gas to ow
from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition which can cause a re to occur
behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill components and making it unsafe to operate.
WARNING:
Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materials, trash or combustible uids
and vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter uid. Do not obstruct the ow of combustion or
ventilation air.
WARNING:
Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront,
mountaintop, etc.) a wind break will be required. Always adhere to the speci ed clearances
listed on page 10.
4
Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean
•
the grill while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a
hot surface.
Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol
•
cleaner on or around the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in
the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote
•
are-ups.
Never grill without the residue pan in place. Without it, hot grease could leak downward
•
and produce a re or explosion hazard.
If grill is stored indoors, ensure that it is cool. If LP, the cylinder must be unhooked and the
•
LP cylinder stored outside in a well ventilated area, out of reach of children.
Keep any electrical supply cord away from the heated areas of the grill and water.
•
Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder
•
enclosure free and clear from debris.
Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from
•
steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders
touch hot portions of the grill or burner grate.
SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS
Teak countertops not recommended for use in food preparation.

GAS REQUIREMENTS: GENERAL
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or LP, and make sure the marking on the
appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply. The rating plate is located on the inside back
wall of the grill. Never connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance.
An installer supplied gas shutoff valve must be installed in an easily accessible location. All installer
supplied parts must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CGA-B149.2
Propane Installation Code.
All pipe sealants must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of LP gases. Never use
pipe sealant on are ttings. All gas connections should be made by a quali ed 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. Gas conversion kits are available from your
dealer. When ordering gas conversion kits, have the model number and the type of gas (natural or
LP) from your grill.
GAS CONSUMPTION ON HIGH:
Gas Unit - 18,500 Btu/hr
Infrared Unit - 18,500 Btu/hr
Cooking Unit - 12,000 Btu/hr (each burner)
The appliance and its individual shutoff 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.) 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 piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.). The installation of this appliance must conform with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the national fuel gas code, ANSI Z223.1. Installation in
Canada must be in accordance with the Standard CAN/CGA-B149.2 Propane Installation Code and
local codes.
NATURAL GAS HOOK UP (standard equipped):
Out of the box the Modular comes ori ced for use with NG (natural gas) only. If you wish to use
LP gas you will need to purchase a conversion kit.
(This type of connection should be performed by a certi ed or licensed technician only.)
Connection: 1/2” NPT male adapter. Operating pressure: 4.0” W.C. Supply pressure: 5” to 14” water
column. If in excess of 14” W.C. a step down regulator is required. Check with your local gas utility
company or with local codes for instructions on installing gas supply lines. Be sure to check on
type and size of run, and how deep to bury the line. If the gas line is too small, the grill will not
function properly. Any joint sealant used must be an approved type and be resistive to the actions
of natural gases.
Use threading compound on male threads only. Use a pipe wrench to hold the grill inlet pipe to
avoid shifting any internal gas lines of the grill and install 90 degree elbow. Do not forget to place
the installer supplied gas valve in an accessible location.
LP GAS HOOK UP FOR TYPE 1 OR QCC1 REGULATOR (Optional Accessory FA20ALP) SOLD
SEPARATELY:
An optional LP conversion kit is available which includes replacement ori ces, a high capacity
hose and regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20lb. LP cylinder (Type 1) Fig.01. The LP
tank is not included. LP hose with a quick disconnect and ttings are included. Operating pressure:
10” W.C. The ori ces included with the Modular are for use with NG only and must be changed to

codes or with the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 or the CAN/CGAB149.2 Propane Installation Code
attached NG gas ori ce. The ori ce is the small screw on the
end of the nozzle with a hole in the center. Unscrew the NG
gas ori ce by turning counter-clockwise and replace with LP
ori ce. Use the 1.30mm ori ces for each gas and infrared unit
and the 1.05mm ori ces for the two cook unit burners. The
LP ori ce has a smaller hole in the center to keep the ow of
LP gas consistent. You will need to replace the ori ces in each
unit (Fig. 02)
To connect the LP regulator and hose assembly to the tank/
valve assembly, rst make sure the main valve on the tank
is completely closed. Although the ow of gas is stopped
when the Type 1 system is disconnected as part of its safety
feature, you should always turn off the LP tank main valve
(FIG. 02) after each use and during transport of the tank or
unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn the
black coupler clockwise until the coupler tightens up. Do not
overtighten the coupler. Turn the main tank valve on and turn
the burner control valves on the unit to “HIGH” position for
about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge. Turn
valves off and wait 5 minutes before attempting to light the
burners.
GAS REQUIREMENTS: LP GAS
Fig. 01 LP Gas
To disconnect the coupler, rst make sure the main tank valve
is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counter-clockwise.
The inlet will then disengage. Remove the inlet from the tank
valve opening if it has not already done so when disengaging.
Your local LP lling station should be equipped with the proper
equipment to ll your tank.
LP TANK REQUIREMENTS:
A dented or rusty LP tank may be hazardous and should be
checked by your LP supplier. Never use a cylinder with a
damaged valve. Always check for leaks after every LP tank
change. The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked
in accordance with the speci cations for LP gas cylinders of
the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT or CAN/CSAB339) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only. Do not
change the regulator and hose assembly from that supplied
with the unit or attempt to use a Type 1 equipped regulator
and hose assembly with a standard 510 POL tank/valve
assembly. The cylinder must be provided with a shutoff valve
terminating in an LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet speci ed,
as applicable, for connection Type 1. If the appliance is stored
indoors, the cylinder must be disconnected and removed from
the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a wellventilated area out of the reach of children.
Fig. 02 Ori ce Replacement
NOTE: Do not use LP ori ces with natural
gas or NG ori ces with an LP gas tank.
NOTE: When an LP unit is directly attached into an LP house
system, the step down regulator MUST be used to reduce the
supply pressure to a max. 14" W.C. and min. 11" W.C. to the grill
regulator.

GAS REQUIREMENTS: LEAK TESTING
LP TANK
LEAK TEST
POINTS
CHECK HOSE
FOR SIGNS OF
ABRASIONS,
CRACKS OR
LEAKS
GENERAL:
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas
tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or
excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or
immediately if the smell of gas is detected.
BEFORE TESTING:
Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open ames. Never leak test with an open ame. Make a soap
solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply
the solution to the ttings. For LP units, check with a full cylinder. Remove the control knobs and battery to
disable accidental ignition. Open the drawer containing LP or natural gas hook up, this is where all tests will be
performed.
TO TEST:
Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position. Turn the gas supply “ON”. Check all connections from
the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe assembly. Apply the soap solution around
the connection, valve, tubing and end of the manifold. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a
leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking connections, turn gas on, and recheck.
Check all the gas connections at the base of the control valves where they screw into the manifold pipe.
If you cannot stop a gas leak, turn off the gas supply and call your local gas utility or the dealer you purchased
the appliance from. Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill.
Substitution can void the warranty.
WARNING:
Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
Check all gas supply ttings for leaks before each use. It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water near
the shutoff valve of the gas supply valve. Spray all the ttings. Bubbles indicate leaks. (FIG. 03 & 04)
