FOR YOUR SAFETY

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.

WARNING

If not nstaled,i operated andmaintained in accordance with themanufacturer’s instructions, this product could expose you tosubstances inuelf or fuelcombustion which can cause death or serious illness andwhich are known to cause cancer, birth defectsor other reproductive harm.

For example, benzene si a chemicalwhich is part of the gas supplied to the cooking product. It si consumedin the flame during combustion. However, exposure to a malls amount of benzene si possible if a gasleak occurs. Formaldehyde andsoot are byproductsof incomplete combustion. Properly adjusted burnerswith a bluish rather than yelow flame minimize incomplete combustion.

General Information

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

and/or boats.

WARNING: 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 LPgas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSAB339, 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.

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 system at test pressures equal to or less 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. 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. All connections are to be visible through door or opening in the enclosure.

Connection:	Standard Residential 1/2” ID gas service line1/2”-	NPT male.
Operating Pressure:	4.0” W.C.P.Nat.
Supply Presure:	6” to 10” W.C.P.Nat. If in excess of 10” W.C.P., a step-down regulator is required.

Check withyour local gas utility company or with local codesfor instructions on installing gassupply lines. Be sure to checkon type and size of run and how deep to bury the inesl. If thegas line istoo small, the unit will not function properly.

Toconnect the suppliedregulator assembly to the incoming flexible gasline, attach with a 7/8”(2.2 cm) female flare adaptor

to the 7/8”(2.2 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. Connect the regulator assembly to the grill 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.

DO NOT forget to place the installer supplied gas valve in an accessible location.

NOTE: If using a Viking GSH12 flexible hose, remove the 1/2” flare adapter and attach hose to the the 7/8” (2.2 cm) male flare on the regulator assembly.

LP/Propane Tank Connection

Outdoor side burners orificed for use with LP/Propane gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP/Propane cylinder equipped with a Type 1, QCC-1 connector. (See LP/Propane tank requirements on page 6). Hose assembly must comply with Elastomeric Composite Hose and Couplings for Conducting Propane and Natural Gas, CAN/ CGA-8.1 standard or th e T hermoplastic Hose and Hose Couplings for Conducting Propane and Natural Gas CAN1-8.3 standard. (See LP/Propane tank requirements below). Each tank is supplied with a dust cap. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is pro vided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

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. Also, in a built-in construction where an LP/Propane tank is going to be used, there MUST be some type of support (braces, cut-out, etc.) to prevent tan k from moving within the installation. The support must also allow the LP/Propane tank to withstand a horizontal tipping force equal to the weight of the tank without tipping over. The tank can not tip over or deflect more than 1.00 inch wh en a 38 lb. horizontal force is applied to a 20 lb. LP/Propane tank.

Connection: 1/2” (1.3 cm) NPT male with a 3/8” (.95) flare adapter

Operating Pressure: 10.0” W.C.P.

To connect to LP/Propane regulator/hose assembly:

You should always turn the LP/Propane tank main valve “OFF ” after each u se and du ring transport of t he tank o r unit. First connect the regulator assembly to the grill unit. Connect to the tank valve by screwing the Type 1, QCC-1 connector to the LP/Propane tank. Open the tank valve and check the connection between the regulator and the Type 1, QCC-1 fitting for leaks with a soapy water solution. If bubbles appear, tighten the connection. Repeat until all leaks have been stopped. ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY LP/PROPANE TANK CHANGE. Any joint sealant used must be an approved type and be resistive to the actions of LP/Propane gas.

Leak Testing

Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory p rior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation due to possible mishandling in shipment or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit.

Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell o f gas is detected.

•Do not smoke while leak testing.

•Extinguish all flames.

•Never leak test with an open flame

CAUTION

Before placing into operation, always check for gas leaks with a soapy water solution. DO NOT . USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS

Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush or towel to apply the solution to the fittings.

Note: For LP/Propane units, check with a full cylinder.
