No attempt shall be made to convert the grill from the gas

speciﬁ ed on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas type without consulting the serving gas supplier. The conversion kits speciﬁ ed must be used.

Line pressure testing:

Testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) or 14 inches (35.5 cm) W.C. (gauge):

• The grill and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Testing below 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) or 14 inches (35.5 cm) W.C. (gauge) or lower:

• The grill 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).
