Gas supply requirements

Location requirements

Select a location that provides minimum
exposure to wind and traffic paths. The
location should be away from strong
draft areas.

Do not obstruct flow of combustion and
ventilation air.

Line pressure testing:

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

The side burner 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 side burner 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).

Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.

IMPORTANT: Side burner 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
side burner 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 Conversion

L.P. gas conversion from a local L.P. gas
supply:

Conversion must be made by a qualified
gas technician. The qualified natural gas
technician shall provide the L.P. gas
supply to the selected side burner
location in accordance with the National
Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54 and local codes.
To convert to L.P. gas, the L.P. Gas
Conversion Kit No. 4396312 must be
used. Follow Instructions included with
kit.

L.P. gas conversion using a L.P. fuel tank:

To convert to L.P. gas, the L.P. Gas
Conversion Kit No. 4396312 must be
used. Follow Instructions included with
kit.

A L.P. gas cylinder, not larger than 20
pounds, must be purchased separately.

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.

L.P. GAS:
Operating pressure:

line

The supply line shall be equipped with
an approved shutoff valve. This valve
should be located in the same area as
the side burner and should be in a
location that allows ease of opening and
closing. Do not block access to the
shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on
or shutting off gas to the appliance.

Built-in Side Burners –

Natural Gas:

Side burner are equipped for use with
Natural gas. They are design-certified by
CSA International for L.P. (propane or
butane) gases with appropriate
conversion.

Side burners are set for natural gas use
and have a pressure regulator with 1/2"
female pipe threads.

Side Burner Installation

This installation must conform with local
codes and ordinances**. In the absence
of local codes, installations must
conform with either the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1, or CAN/CGA­B149.1* Natural Gas and Propane
installation code.

Natural Gas

1. Place side burner into outdoor

enclosure, but leave enough room in
back to connect to gas supply.

2. Make gas connections.

A combination of pipe fittings must be
used to connect the side burner to the
existing gas line.

WARNING

ExcessiveWeight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and
install side burner.

Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use a new AGA or CSA approved
“outdoor” gas supply line.

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.

• If local codes permit, use a flexible
stainless steel tubing gas connector,
design-certified and marked “outdoor”
by AGA or CSA International, to connect
the side burner to the rigid gas supply
line. 5/8" diameter line is
recommended. Using a wrench to
tighten, connect the gas supply to the
side burner. Use pipe joint compound
on all non-flared male threads. Do not
kink or damage the flexible connector
when moving the side burner.

• Pipe-joint compounds suitable for use
with L.P. gas must be used. Do not use
Teflon

tape.

3. Open shutoff valve in the gas

supply line. The valve is open when the
handle is parallel to the gas pipe.

Checking and
adjusting the burners

The burners are tested and factory-set for
most efficient operation. However,
variations in gas supply and other
conditions may make minor adjustments
to low flame setting necessary.
Adjustments must be done by a qualified
service technician.

Checking and adjusting the burner
flames requires removing the grate.

Low flame adjustment:

If flame goes out on the LO setting, the
low flame setting must be adjusted.

Light the burner and turn control knob to
its lowest setting and remove knob. Hold
the valve stem with pliers and insert a
thin flat blade screwdriver into the shaft.
Watch the flame and slowly turn
screwdriver counterclockwise. Adjust
flame to the minimum stable flame.
Replace control knob.

Reassemble grate.

Using your Side Burner

1. Remove side burner cover. Do not light
burners with the cover on.

2. Make sure control knobs are turned to

OFF.

3. Turn the gas supply on:

Natural gas or L.P. gas from a local
supply.

• Using gas supply source other than
L.P. gas cylinder:

Turn the shutoff valve to open
position from the front of gas supply
line.

L.P. gas cylinder, if converted (see "Gas
Supply Requirements").

• Using an L.P./ propane gas cylinder:

Slowly open the cylinder valve; do
not “snap” open.

NOTE:

When using an L.P. gas
cylinder, the flow limiting device
may activate and your side burner
may not light. If your side burner
does light, the flames will be low
and will not heat properly. Turn
cylinder valve and all control knobs
off and wait 30 seconds. After
shutting off the cylinder, very slowly
open cylinder valve and wait 5
seconds before lighting.
