Viking Use/Installation Guide
Outdoor 15” Wide Double Side Burners
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.
IInn CCaannaaddaa::
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 system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

If not installed, operated and maintained in
accordance with the
mmaannuuffaaccttuurreerr’’ss
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 by-
products of incomplete combustion. Properly
adjusted burners with a bluish rather than
yellow flame minimize incomplete combustion.

General Information
WWAARRNNIINNGG
: This outdoor gas side burner is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles
and/or boats.
WWAARRNNIINNGG::
Keep electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose away from heated surfaces.
• Keep area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors.
• When the outdoor gas side burner or grill is not in use, the gas supply must be turned off at the LP gas supply
cylinder.
• 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.
• Finding a leak is not a “do-it-yourself” procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the on
position and this must be done by a qualified technician.
• The LP supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP-
gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-
B339, Cylinders, Spheres, and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods.
• Gas Manifold Pressure -
Natural gas - 4.0” W.C.P.
LP/Propane - 10.0” W.C.P.
• If the following instructions are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur:
-Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
-Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
Safety Tips
•Keep outdoor cooking appliance area free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
•Keep ventilation openings at the rear of the cart and cylinder free and clear to allow proper air flow. Do not obstruct
the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
•Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of the grill and block the gas and air flow to the burner ports. This may
cause a fire from behind the manifold cover. Inspect and clean burners periodically.

Operating Pressure: 10.0” W.C.P. LP
Supply Pressure: 11” to 14” W.C.P. LP. 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
t
ype and size of run and how deep to bury the lines. If the gas line is too small, the unit 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. Attach the regulator assembly to the unit with the 3/8” female flare adapter on the
regulator assembly to the 3/8” male flare adaptor on the unit. All connectors need to comply with ANSI Z21.75/ CSA 6.27.
When using semi-ridged tubing, aluminum or aluminum alloy tubing is not permitted.
