GAS LEAK WARNINGS FINDING AND/OR FIXING A GAS LEAK IS NOT A “DO-IT-YOURSELF” PROCEDURE – ONLY USE A PROFESSIONAL. NEVER USE THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT FIRST LEAK TESTING THE GAS CONNECTIONS INCLUDING ALL OF THE VALVES, FITTINGS, LINES ETC. (ANY GAS CONNECTION SHOULD BE CHECKED.) WARNING: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. USE OF AN OPEN FLAME COULD RESULT IN A FIRE, EXPLOSION AND BODILY HARM. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE PERFORMING THE LEAK TEST. ANY OPEN FLAME WILL IGNITE THE GAS.
The cylinder must be discarded to a proper LP tank location and then replaced. If you are unable to stop a leak turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position, shut off the gas supply to the appliance and release pressure in the hose and manifold by pushing in and turning any of the control valves one quarter turn counter-clockwise. On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the appliance. Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an LP gas dealer.
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. UNPACKING UNIT: Product Inspection: A final inspection of your product occurs at the factory to ensure a quality product is packaged. Please re-check for possible shipping damage immediately after unpacking your burner. If the appliance is found to have some damage, contact your dealer immediately as often the shipping carrier will have a timeframe to report damage.
Gas Connections Natural Gas Requirements Connect a suitable natural gas flex connector to the appliance regulator located on the rear right corner of the appliance. It is recommended to use a flex connector with a minimum of a ½” diameter or larger. Sealing all non-flared fittings with thread sealant or Teflon tape. Ensure the flex connector is protected from sharp edges, heat, aggressive surfaces, and kinking.
Filling and Refilling LP Gas Cylinders: Turn control knobs and cylinder valve to the OFF position. Unscrew valve. Remove cylinder and have it filled at your local qualified propane dealer. Once filled, carefully connect the valve and make sure it is secure and not leaking. With the control knobs in the OFF position, turn on the cylinder valve.

closed. 2. Turn all of the burner knobs to the OFF position. 3. Connect the 3/8” Flare end of the hose to the 3/8” Flare end of the brass coupling on the unit using a 3/4” open wrench. Do not apply pipe sealant. (These are flared fittings.) Note: remember the rubber line on the hose and regulator must be protected from sharp edges, hot surfaces, aggressive building materials that could cut, melt, or damage the line.
Installing the Appliance in a BBQ Island NOTE: Check with City and Fire department for Local Building Codes. A Permit may be required for outdoor kitchen construction. You will need a second person to help you avoid damaging the appliance or your appliance island. Ensure all clearances to combustibles are maintained. See page 23. The island must be made out of non-combustible material. In the event it is combustible, the use of an insulation jacket is REQUIRED.
Outdoor Kitchen Ventilation WARNING Failure to adequately vent your outdoor kitchen cavity could result in an explosion or fire. When building a gas appliance into an outdoor kitchen, it is necessary to provide adequate ventilation for the island cavity underneath. This is necessary for not only proper combustion, but also to prevent a buildup of gas.
ALL GAS CONNECTION POINTS SHOULD BE TESTED FOR LEAKS AFTER INSTALLATION PRIOR TO FIRST USE OF THE GAS APPLIANCE(S). Before installing an appliance in any island cut out, make sure that the opening is not bigger than the outside frame of the appliance unit. The appliance should rest on the lip of the frame. Pay careful attention to the location of the gas line. It should be routed away from sources of heat, sharp edges, and aggressive surfaces and should make as few bends as possible.
• Check to make sure the appliance is level and is supported around the entire outside edge. If the appliance is not level or is unstable, use non-combustible shims under the outside lip to stabilize it. • Perform the leak test procedure as described earlier in this manual. BUILDING BBQ SPECIFICATIONS *Ensure your island cavity is adequately vented. Number of vents shown in diagram is for informational purposes only. Consult your local licensed professional for adequate requirements.
