2.Always maintain minimum clearances from combustible construction, see “Location Requirements” section.
3.The outdoor cooking gas appliance shall not be located under overhead unprotected combustible construction.
4.This outdoor cooking gas appliance shall be used only outdoors and shall not be used in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
5.Keep any electrical supply cord and fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces.
6.Keep outdoor cooking and appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
7.Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
8.Inspect the gas cylinder supply hose before each use of the grill. If the hose shows excessive abrasion or wear, or is cut, it MUST be replaced before using the grill. Contact your dealer and use only replacement hoses specified for use with the grill. If removal of an access plate(s) or opening of a door(s) is required for this inspection, instructions shall be provided on how to gain access for the inspection.

•constructed and marked in accordance with the Specification for L.P. Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres, and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission.
•provided with a listed overfilling prevention device.
•provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor grill appliances.
12.Always check connections for leaks each time you connect and disconnect the L.P. gas supply cylinder. See “Installation Instructions” section.
13.When the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder.
14.Storage of an outdoor gas grill appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the outdoor gas grill.
15.Cylinders must be stored outdoors and out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
16.The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the outdoor gas grill must be used. A replacement pressure regulator and hose assembly specific to your model is available from your outdoor grill dealer.

Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed 11” (28 cm) water column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform with American National Standard National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 -latest edition or CAN/CGA B149.1 -latest edition.
IMPORTANT: Grill must be connected to a regulated gas supply.
•Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet (610 m). For elevations above 2,000 feet (610 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet (305 m) above sea level. Orifice conversion is required. Contact KitchenAid Assistance Center.
•Refer to the model/serial rating plate for information on the type of gas that can be used. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, check with your local gas supplier.
No attempt shall be made to convert the grill from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas type without consulting the serving gas supplier. The conversion kits specified must be used.
L.P. GAS:
Operating pressure: 11 inches (27.9 cm) W.C.
Supply pressure: 11 to 14 inches (27.9 to 35.5 cm) W.C.
NATURAL GAS:
Set pressure: 4 inches (10.2 cm) W.C.
Supply pressure: 7-14 inches (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) W.C. maximum.
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).
