CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 - WARNING The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by products that are on the list of substances which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the use and care manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when cooking with gas.

INSECT WARNING! Spiders and insects can nest in the burners, and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the burner and making it unsafe to operate. Inspect the burner twice a year or immediately if any symptoms appear.

Provide Gas Supply

NATURAL GAS MODELS

The burner and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG.

The burner must be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG.

The installation of these burners must conform with local codes or, or in the absence of local codes, with the National fuel gas code, ANSI Z223.1a, latest edition.

Operating pressure is 4" W.C. Supply pressure should be 5" to 14" W.C. If pressure is more than 14" W.C. a step down regulator is required.

1/2 NPT Close Nipple

• Install a manual gas shut-off valve in an easily accessible location.

• Connect the 1/2 NPT coupling to the burner gas inlet.

• Make connections as shown.

• Check to be sure the regulator arrow points in the direction of gas flow, towards the grill and away from the gas supply.

Check with local gas utility 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 burner will not function properly.

Test for Leaks

WARNING

A complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site. DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

• Do not use the burner until all connections have been leak tested.

• Repeat leak test after each LP tank change or gas re-connect.

• Check to be sure the main valve on the LP tank or the shut-off valve is in the “OFF” position.

• Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water.

TEST FOR LEAKS

The valve panel must be removed to check the valves and fittings.

• All control valves should be in the “OFF” position.

• Remove the knobs.

• Remove the 4 screws holding the valve panel to the burner.

• Pull the panel outwards and unplug the wire from the back of the rotary igniter.

TO TEST:

• Apply the soap solution around all connections, valve and tubing.

• Turn the gas supply on.

• Check all connections from the supply line or LP tank up to and including the manifold pipe assembly.

• If a leak is detected, turn gas supply off and tighten fittings. Turn the gas on and check again.

• To re-install the valve panel, re-connect the igniter wire and secure the panel with original screws.

Step

Lighting the Burner

WARNING

the burner if the odor of gas is present.

CAUTION: Keep hands and face as far away from the burner as possible when lighting.

• Remove burner cover.

• Turn all knobs to “OFF” position.

• Turn gas supply on at the LP tank or shut-off valve.

NOTE: When lighting the burner for the first time or after a LP tank change, up to 20 seconds may be required to purge air from the lines.

• Push and turn control knob counter-clockwise to “LITE” position, turn the small igniter knob next to the burner knob clockwise.

NOTE: The spark will produce a snapping sound. This is normal.

• If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, turn knobs to “OFF and wait 5 minutes for the gas to dissipate before trying again.

• If the burner does not light after several attempts, the burner can be lit with a match.

Do not attempt to light

TO MATCH LIGHT:

• Remove the burner grate.

• Strike match and hold adjacent to burner port.

• Push and turn the control knob to “LITE”.

• Rotate the control knob to desired setting.

• Replace grate.

ALWAYS TURN GAS SUPPLY OFF AT THE SHUT-OFF VALVE OR LP TANK WHEN NOT IN USE.

Step

Adjusting the Burners

Adjustments should not be required, unless vibration during transit or variations in local gas supply make minor adjustments necessary.

Adjustments must be made by a qualified technician at the time of installation. Extreme care should be used if adjustments are made after installation.

• Push and turn the burner control knobs to the “LITE” position. Push and turn the small ignitor knob clockwise.

• Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting from the burner. If any of these conditions exist, turn control to off and check air shutter and burner ports for debris or spider webs.

TO ADJUST:

• If the flame is yellow, indicating insufficient air, turn the air shutter to allow more air to the burner.

• If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the burner, there is too much air. Turn the air shutter to reduce the opening.

Low setting Adjustment:

Minor adjustments may be required due to fluctuations in local gas pressure. Adjustments to increase or decrease gas flow may be necessary.

• Turn the control knob to the lowest setting, all the way counter-clockwise.

• Remove the knob by pulling straight out.

• Insert a thin-blade flat screwdriver into the valve shaft and hold. (3/32" blade width recommended.)

• Grip the shaft with pliers and turn counterclockwise to lower the flame, or clockwise to increase the flame.

• When the desired setting is made, replace the knob and turn burner off.

• Place aeration pan over the burners.

• Place the cast iron grate over the opening.

• Place cover over the top when not in use.
