GAS CONNECTION

Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or LP, and make sure the marking on the rating plate agrees with that of the supply. Never connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance. An installer supplied gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location. All installer supplied parts must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and the National Fuel Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada: Installation must be in accordance with the current CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas Installation Code or CAN/CGA-B149.2, Propane Installation Code and/or local codes. All pipe sealants must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of LP gas. Never use pipe sealant on flare fittings. All gas connections should be made by a competent technician and in accordance with local codes and or ordinances. In the absence of codes, the installation must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.

The gas side burner and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa). The unit must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of that sysptem at test pressures equal to or les than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

Built-in installations must be plumbed using a fixed/hard line if the unit is going to be operated at a distance exceeding 3 feet (0.91 meters) from the fuel supply per ANSI Z21.24.

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. WARNING: This outdoor gas side burner is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles

and/or boats.

2. WARNING: Keep electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose away from heated surfaces.

3. Keep area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors.

4. When the outdoor gas side burner is not in use, the gas supply must be turned off at the LP gas supply cylinder.

5. The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit must be used. Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by the manufacturer.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW

1. Before beginning, please read these instructions completely and carefully.

2. Do not remove permanently affixed labels, warnings, or plates from product. This may void the warranty

3. Please observe all local and national codes and ordinances.

4. The installer should leave these instructions with the consumer who should retain for local inspector’s use and for future reference

Installation must conform with local codes or in the absence of codes, the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada: Installation must be in accordance with the current CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas Installation Code or CAN/CGA-B149.2, Propane Installation Code and/or local codes.

If you smell gas:

1. Shut off gas to the appliance.

2. Extinguish any open flame.

3. Open lid.

4. If odor continues, immediately call your gas supplier or your fire department.

1. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

2. Any LP cylinder not connected for use shall not be stored in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

If not installed, operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, this product could expose you to substances in fuel or fuel combustion which can cause death or serious illness and which are known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

For example, benzene is a chemical which is part of the gas supplied to the cooking product. It is consumed in the flame during combustion. However, exposure to a small amount of benzene is possible if a gas leak occurs. Formaldehyde and soot are byproducts of incomplete combustion. Properly adjusted burners with a bluish rather than yellow flame minimize incomplete combustion.

LP/PROPANE FIXED PIPING CONNECTION

Connection: Standard Residential 1/2” ID gas service line - 1/2” NPT male with 3/8” flare adapter. Operating Pressure: 10.0” W.C.P. Nat. Supply Pressure: 11” to 14” W.C.P. Nat. If in excess of 14” W.C.P., a step-down regulator is required.

Check with your local gas utility company 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 lines. If the gas line is too small, the grill will not function properly.

To connect the supplied regulator assembly to the incoming flexible gas line, attach with a 3/8” female flare adaptor to the 3/8” male flare adaptor to the regulator assembly. Ensure that the regulator arrow points in the direction of the gas flow towards the unit and away from the supply.

To connect the supplied regulator assembly to the incoming flexible gas line, attach with a 1/2” (1.3 cm) female flare adaptor to the 1/2” (1.3 cm) male flare adaptor on the regulator assembly. Ensure that the regulator arrow points in the direction of the gas flow towards the unit and away from the supply. Attach the regulator assembly to the grill unit by pulling back the female coupler sleeve towards the regulator. Insert the coupler into themale coupler fitting on the grill until the sleeve snaps forward securing the connection. DO NOT forget to place the installer supplied gas valve in an accessible location.

NOTE: If using a Viking GSH12 flexible hose, remove the 3/8” flare adapter and attach hose to the the 1/2” (1.3 cm) male

flare on the regulator assembly.
