Grill Installation Codes

The installation must conform with local codes or in the absence of local codes, with either the

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z21.58a-2006/CSA

1.6a-2006 Natural Gas and Propane Code.

Correct LP Gas Tank Use

LP gas grill models are designed for use with a standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas (LP gas) tank, not included with grill box. Never connect your gas grill to an LP gas tank that exceeds this capacity. A tank of approximately 12 inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches high is the maximum size LP gas tank to use. You must use

an "OPD" gas tank which offers a listed Overfill Prevention Device. This safety feature

prevents the tank from being overfilled which can cause malfunction of the LP gas tank, regulator and/or grill.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

WARNING

Installation

The LP gas tank has a Shut Off Valve, terminating

1. in an LP gas supply tank valve outlet, that is compatible with a Type 1 tank connection device. The LP gas tank must also have a safety relief device that has a direct communication with the vapor space of the tank.

The tank supply system must be arranged for

2. vapor withdrawal. The LP gas tank used must have a collar

3. to protect the tank valve.

Proper Placement and Clearance of Grill Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,

breezeway or any other enclosed area. Your gas grill is to be used outdoors only, at least 36 inches from the back and side of any combustible surface. Your gas grill should not be placed under any surface that will burn. Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation air around the gas grill housing.

This outdoor gas grill is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

WARNING

Failure to comply with these instructions could result in a fire or explosion that could cause serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

•

Never connect an unregulated LP gas tank to your gas grill. The gas Regulator assembly supplied with your gas grill is adjusted to have

an outlet pressure of 11" water column (W.C.)

for connection to an LP gas tank.

• Only use the Regulator and Hose Assembly

supplied with your gas grill. Replacement

Regulators and Hose Assemblies must be

those specified by manufacturer.

• Have your LP gas tank filled by a reputable propane

gas dealer and visually inspected and

re-qualified at each filling.

• Never fill the gas tank beyond 80% full.

Have your propane gas dealer check the release

valve after every filling to ensure that it remains

free of defects.

• Always keep LP gas tanks in upright position.

• Do not store (or use) gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this gas grill.

• An LP gas tank that is not connected for use must

NOT be stored on bottom shelf inside cabinet or in the vicinity of this or any other gas grill.

• Do not subject the LP gas tank to excessive heat.

• Never store an LP gas tank indoors. If you

store your gas grill in the garage or other indoor

location, always disconnect the LP gas tank

first, store it safely outside.

• LP gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a

well-ventilated area and out of the reach of

children. Disconnected LP gas tanks must not

be stored in a building, garage or any other

enclosed area.

• When your gas grill is not in use the gas

must be turned off at the LP gas tank.

• The Regulator and Hose assembly must be

inspected before each use of the grill. If there

is excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose

is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill

being used again.

• Keep the gas Regulator Hose away from hot

grill surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid unnecessary twisting of hose. Visually inspect

hose prior to each use for cuts, cracks,

excessive wear or other damage. If the Hose

appears damaged do not use the gas grill, call our Customer Service Dept. for a replacement,

at 1-800-667-7313.

• Never light your gas grill with the Lid closed

or before checking to insure the Burner Tubes are fully seated over the Gas Valve Orifices.

• Never allow children to operate your grill. Do

not allow children to play near your grill.

WARNING

A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of gas indicates a serious problem with your gas grill or the LP gas tank. Failure to immediately follow the steps listed below could result in a fire or explosion that could cause serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

• Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.

• Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.

• Put out any flame with a Class B fire

extinguisher.

• Open Grill Lid.

• Get away from the LP gas tank.

• Do not try to fix the problem yourself.

• If odor continues or you have a fire you cannot

extinguish, call your fire department. Do not call near the LP gas tank because your telephone is an electrical device and could create a spark

resulting in fire and/or explosion.

NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the Regulator and Hose Assembly can create a humming sound. A low volume of sound is perfectly normal and will not interfere with operation of the grill. If humming sound is loud and excessive you may need to purge air from the gas line or reset the Regulator excess gas flow device. This purging procedure should be done every time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill. For help call the Grill Information Center.

Customer Service Dept., 8:00am-5:00pm EST, Monday through Friday at: 1-800-667-7313

Natural Gas Safety Instructions

•

Your Natural Gas Grill is designed to operate on

Natural Gas only, at a pressure of 7" water column

(W.C.) (1/4 psig or 1.75 kpa), regulated at the

residential meter. Check with your gas utility com-

pany for local gas pressure and with your local

municipality for building code requirements. If your residential gas line pressure has not been

regulated to 7" W.C., contact your local gas utility

company for professional assistance.

•

The gas pressure Regulator supplied with this appliance must be used. This Regulator is set

for an outlet pressure of 4" W.C.

•

It is recommended that a Shut Off Valve be installed at the gas supply source outdoors. Install at a point after the gas pipeexits the outside wall andbefore the Quick Disconnect Hose, or install it at the point before the gas line piping enters the ground. See

Figure 1.

•

Pipe sealing compound or pipe thread tape resistant to the action of Natural Gas must be used on all male pipe threads when making the connection.

•

Disconnect your gas grill from fuel source when the gas supply is being tested at high pressures. This gas grill and its individual Shut Off Valve must be disconnected from the gas supply pipe system during any pressure testing of that system at pressure in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kpa).

•

Turn off your gas grill when the gas supply is tested at low pressures. The grill must be

isolated from the gas supply pipe system

by closing its individual Manual Shut Off Valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply pipe system at pressures equal to

or less than 1/2 psi (3.5kpa).

•

The Quick Disconnect connects to a 3/8 inch

NPT thread from gas source. The Quick

Disconnect fitting is a hand operated device

that automatically shuts off the the flow of

gas from the source when it is disconnected.

•

The Quick Disconnect fitting can be installed horizontally,or pointing downward.DO NOT install the fitting with the opening pointing

upward because the fitting could collect water

and debris.

•

The Dust Covers (plastic plugs) provided with the Quick Disconnect help keep the open

ends clean while disconnected.

•

The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to

a ridged permanent construction.

Gas Line Piping

If the length of line required does not exceed 50 feet, use a 5/8" O.D. tube. One size larger should be used for lengths greater than 50 feet.

Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L; polyethylene plastic tube, with a minimum wall thickness of . 062 inch; or standard weight (schedule 40) steel or wrought iron pipe.

Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains more than 0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic feet of gas.

Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor, underground use.

Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other material which may corrode the piping, must be protected against corrosion in an approved manner.

Underground piping must have a minimum of 18" cover.

Test Connections

All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested for leaks in accordance with local codes and all listed procedures in the latest edition of ANSI Z21.58a-2006

/CSA1.6a-2006

DANGER

Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for gas leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property.

•

The Quick Disconnect MUST BE installed above ground.

•

WARNING: Do not route the 10 foot Quick

Disconnect Hose under a deck. The hose must

be visible and inspected prior to each grill use.

Assembly Instructions For Your Safety

During unpacking, assembly and construction

stages always wear work gloves and eye

protection.

As you unpack this gas grill from shipping

box, use the parts list to ensure all neces-

sary parts are included. Inspect all parts for

damage as you proceed. Do not operate your

grill if it appears damage. If you have ques-

tions during the assembly process, call

8:00am - 5:00pm EST, Monday through Friday,

1-800-667-7313

Remove white PVC protective film from stain-

less steel surfaces before initial use.

CAUTION:

While it is possible for one person to unpack

this gas grill, obtain assistance from another

person when handing the large and heavy

grill head.

Before Using Your Grill

To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK" (see CAUTION at left) clean the Burner Tubes and Burners before fully assembling your grill. Remove the screws from the rear of each burner using a Phillips Head Screwdriver.

Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the Gas Valve Orifice, then refer to Figure 1 and perform one of these three cleaning methods:

Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger

works well) into a small hook as shown below. Run the hook through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner several times to remove any debris.

CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASHBACK

CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occasion-

ally spin webs or make nests in the grill burner

tubes during transit and warehousing. These webs

can lead to a gas flow obstruction which could

result in a fire in and around the Burner Tubes.

This type of fire is known as a "FLASHBACK"

and can cause serious damage to your grill and

create an unsafe operating condition for the user.

Although an obstructed Burner Tube is not the

only cause of "FLASHBACK", it is the most

common cause.

To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK", you

must clean the Burner Tubes before assembling

your grill, and at least once a month in late

summer or early fall when spiders are most active.

Also perform this Burner Tube cleaning procedure

if your grill has not been used for an extended

period of time.

Tools Required for Assembly

Phillips Head screw driver - also used to

•

remove the screws from the rear of each burner when cleaning the Burners

Open-end wrench (included with Hardware

•

Pack) used to tighten the Casters.

Use a Burner Cleaning Brush, or a bottle

brush with a flexible handle. Run the brush through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner several times, removing any debris.

Use an air hose to force air through each

Burner Tube. The forced air should pass debris or obstructions through the Burner and out the ports.

WARNING

The location of the Burner Tube with respect to the Orifice is vital for safe operation. Check to ensure the Orifice is inside the Burner Tube before using your gas grill. See Figure 2.Ifthe orifice is not inside the burner tube, lighting the Burner may cause explosion and/or fire.
