Gas Connections WARNING: NEVER CONNECT A GAS LINE DIRECTLY TO THE GRILL/SIDE BURNER. A PRESSURE RGULATOR MUST BE INSTALLED ON ALL GAS EQUIPMENT. ALL LOCAL CODES REQUIRE IT AND CROWN VERITY SUPPLIES THE CORRECT REGULATOR WITH YOUR GRILL. REMOVING OR FAILING TO INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR CAN RESULT IN FIRE AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
• A liquid propane cylinder should never be “overfilled” beyond the cylinder filling capacity. “Overfilling may create a dangerous condition. “Overfilled” tanks can build up excess pressure. The standard safety device on tanks is the safety relief valve. This valve vents propane gas vapors to relieve excess pressure. These vapors are combustible and can be ignited. • Make sure the gas dealer checks the cylinder for leaks after filling. • Do not store spare LP gas cylinders under the grill.
Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be the type specified by Crown Verity and installed by a licensed gas technician. For replacement parts, contact Crown Verity Customer Service at 1-888-505-7240. NOTE TO GAS TECHNICIAN WARNING: DO NOT perform any pressure tests on this appliance or the regulator supplied in excess of 1/2 PSIG. For fixed fuel supply systems. RE: Pressure tests 1.

For NG (Natural Gas) applications, the specified BTU’s are calculated at a manifold pressure of 4 inches W.C..
WARNING: Grills with a total BTU’s output less than 80,000 BTU’s can only be connected to 20 lbs. propane cylinders (See Table1 and 2 for BTU requirements). WARNING: The propane tank strap provided must be used to hold the propane cylinder in place. Failure to do so can cause damage to the gas supply hose and increases the risk of fire causing death or serious injury (See “Figures 4-6”) for further detail.
FIGURE 4. LP TANK RETENTION STRAP-GRILL/SIDE BURNER CABINET To connect the LP regulator hose assembly to the LP tank, first make sure the main valve on the tank is completely closed. Make sure also that the control valves on the grill are OFF. Thread the regulator inlet over the tank valve. Use care to ensure proper alignment of the threaded coupler and avoid cross-threading or damaging the coupler. Turn the coupler clockwise until tightened up, but do not over-tighten.
After connecting a fresh LP tank, you may need to purge air from the system. Before lighting, open the main valve on the tank. Turn one of the burner control valves on the grill/side burner to the HIGH position for about 15 seconds to purge air from the system. Turn the control valve on the grill OFF and wait 5 minutes for any gas to clear. Finally, continue with the normal lighting procedure. FIGURE 5. LP TANK RETENTION STRAP-BUILT-IN STORAGE CABINET. NOTE: 30 LBS.
FIGURE 6. LP TANK RETENTION STRAP-MODULAR STORAGE CABINET. NOTE: 30 LBS. TANK SHOWN CAN ONLY BE USED WITH GRILLS THAT HAVE A BTU CAPACITY EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN 80,000 BTU’s. TROUBLESHOOTING: If the large thermally sensitive coupling nut is exposed to temperatures above 115°- 150°C (240° & 300°F) it will soften and allow the regulator probe to Disengage from the cylinder valve, thereby shutting off the flow of gas. Should this occur, do not attempt to reconnect the nut.
hose or regulator failure, or a leak. If it is evident that the flow-limiting device has activated, the cause of the excessive flow should be determined and corrected before using your grill/side burner again. Improper lighting procedures can also cause the flow-limiting device to activate, resulting in reduced heat output. If this is suspected, shut off all burner controls and cylinder valve, and carefully repeat lighting instructions step by step.
WARNING: ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR BUILT-IN GRILLS AND ACCESSORIES FOR YOUR SAFTEY, if not using a Crown Verity propane enclosure for a built-in application, you must provide the openings listed below for drainage, replacement air flow and cross ventilation for any storage area exposed to possible leakage from gas connections, the unit, or propane cylinders: One side of the gas cylinder enclosure left completely open to the outside or by providing four (4) ventilation openings.
The gas supply hose portion must be readily visible across its entire length for inspection. Removal or opening of an access plate(s) or door(s) without the use of tools for inspection purposes is considered acceptable. A gas appliance pressure regulator shall be installed in a location so that it will not attain a temperature in excess of that specified by the regulator manufacturer as determined during conduct of Clause 5.14, Wall, floor, and component temperatures, or Clause 5.21.
FIGURE 8.
FIGURE 9. NATURAL GAS AND BULK PROPANE CONNECTION FOR BUILT IN GRILLS AND SIDE BURNERS WARNING: For Natural Gas Models: Your appliance is designed to operate on natural gas (NG) pressure regulated at 4” water column. The regulator supplied with the grill is set to this pressure and must be used.
• In no case should an inlet pipe less than 3/4” inside diameter or 1” outside diameter ever be used to connect this product. • Calculate the total BTU output of all equipment and refer to (See Appendix “B” for further details) for allowable run distances for 3/4 inch pipe. Failure to meet these minimum requirements may reduce performance of the grill and any other appliances running on that supply line. • Always keep supply line runs as short as possible.
BULK SUPPLY LIQUID PROPANE GAS REQUIREMENTS Verify the type of gas your grill/side burner has been configured for by the factory by checking the rating plate on the unit (See “Appendix A” for further details). Grills and side burners configured for liquid propane (LP) gas are orificed differently than units configured for natural gas (NG). For appliances configured for use with bulk LP tanks, a regulator is not supplied. To purchase these options, please contact Crown Verity at 1-888-505-7240. FIGURE 10.
For the mobile, Non-Modular Grill models, IE30, IE36,IE42 and IE36I, the gas supply connection is positioned inside the cabinet on the right hand back rear corner. The grills are equipped with a with a 10 foot (3 m) hose and quick-connect fitting. The regulation of gas from the bulk tank must be adjusted to 11.0 inches W.C., refer to the appliances rating plates in appendix “A” (See “Figure 10” for installation details).
Gas Conversion Kits Gas conversion kits are available from Crown Verity to allow the grill to operate on either Natural gas or LPG. These kits should be installed by a qualified gas technician. The kits come with complete installation instructions. These instructions should be read completely and fully understood before installing the conversion kit. Please contact the Crown Verity customer service desk at: 1-888-505-7240 or service@crownverity.com for conversion kit requirements.
3. Regulator fitting(s) and cylinder connections. 4. All hose connections. Soap bubbles will appear at any connections with a leak. Turn OFF the gas supply and tighten any leaky connections. Recheck, applying more mild soap solution. IMPORTANT: Do not use the appliance if any leaks cannot be stopped. Turn off the gass supply valve, remove any gas cylinder and call a licensed gas appliance service technician for proper repairs.
CONNECTION TO AC Installation requires an outdoor 120VAC 15A GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) electrical outlet adjacent to the appliance. The GFI outlet features an internal breaker that reduces shock hazard. This type of outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician either inside the island enclosure for built-in units, or near the location where a free-standing unit will be used. For built-in grills, the supplied 12VDC should be installed below the grill within the cabinet enclosure.
General Operating Procedures The grill/side burner reach operating temperatures in approximately 5-8 minutes but may vary depending on environmental conditions. For compliance requirements, the temperature gauge for the grill is specific to the air temperature. There is not a direct correlation between the grill air temperature and the grate temperature, so the actual values will differ. IMPORTANT: The grill comes equipped with a thermometer.
Pre-Grill Checklist BEFORE FIRST USE A quick safety check should be performed before using your appliance for the first time. Please ensure that: 1. All packing materials and tie-downs have been removed from the appliance. (See INDEX: “Unpacking & Assembly” for further details.) 2. You have fuel connected. (See INDEX: “Gas Connections” for further details.) 3. You have electric connected. (See INDEX:“ Electrical Connections – For Appliances Equipped with a Lighting Package” for further details.) 4.
AT EACH NEW SEASON A quick safety check should be performed on the appliance if it has not been used for an extended period of time (for your safety). 1. Remove the grates and check the burners, shutters, orifices, and valves for obstructions. 2. Spiders and insects often nest in these areas of the grill and can disrupt air flow, causing damage to the grill and personal injury. 3. Clean and inspect the gas hose. If there is evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks, do not use the grill.
Press down and hold the piezo ignition button (See “Figure 11”) to engage the electronic ignition and light the pilot tube. Confirm that the pilot is lit by looking down through the cooking grates. You will be able to feel heat coming up to the cooking surface also. (Do Not touch the cooking grate while feeling for heat as the surface could cause burns) • For appliances not equipped with a lighting package: Turn the pilot valve into the on position.

FIGURE 13. MANUAL LIGHTING ACCESS FIGURE 14.
Grilling in Windy Conditions For outdoor grills to sear and grill steaks they have high performance burners that require constant, steady supply of fresh air to mix with the fuel. Your Crown Verity grill pulls air in through the front of the grill. Using your grill in windy conditions can disrupt the front to back air flow (See “Figure 15”). If, while grilling with all burners on high and the lid closed, you notice that the temperature gauge fails to rise, be cautious.
Basic Grilling WARNING: DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED Do not leave the grill unattended during the pre-heat cycle or at any time while in use. Pre-heating for more than 10-15 minutes may overheat the grill, causing damage to the grill. PRE-HEATING Preheating your grill every time you use it is important. Preheat your grill by igniting all main burners and setting them to the highest setting. Then close the hood and allow the grill to heat for 5 to 8 minutes.
Burner Adjustments Every burner is tested and adjusted at the factory for proper performance. If a burner is not operating properly, it may be due to variations in the local gas supply or because of an obstructed air shutter or orifice. Flames should be stable without lifting from the burner. The flames should burn cleanly without creating any sooty residue. BURNER FLAME CHARACTERISTICS: • The flame should be mostly blue and stable with only a small amount of orange, if any, at the tips.
FIGURE 16. FACE REMOVAL The shutter is located at the end of the burner tubes closest to the gas orifice (See “Figure 18” for further details). Use a flashlight to view the screened openings of the air shutter from and remove any obvious obstructions from the screen protecting the air shutter. TO ADJUST THE AIR SHUTTER: Leave the gas supply shutoff valve in the OFF position or leave the main valve on the LP cylinder in the closed position. The grill control knobs should also remain in the OFF position.
With the roll dome open, remove the pins located at the far end of the burner assemblies. Slide the burner gently to either the right or left to disengage them from the retaining bracket. Once clear, lift the burner up and pull it back and away from the back side of the gas valve (See “Figure 17” for further details). FIGURE 17. BURNER ASSEMBLY DETAILS Using a screwdriver, loosen the shutter adjustment lock screw (See “Figure 19”). Be careful not to remove the lock screw.
IMPORTANT: Always ensure that the brass orifices are inserted into the holes in the ends of the air shutters and centered (See “Figure 18” for further details). FIGURE 18. ORIFICE ACCESS AND ALIGNMENT Turn on the gas supply valve or open the main valve on the LP cylinder. Following the lighting instructions (See INDEX:” Lighting Your Grill” for further details), light the burners to be adjusted.
If the flames are mostly yellow or are noisy and lift off the burner ports, rotate the air shutter to progressively reduce the amount of air entering the venturi. Continue to close the air shutter until the flame no longer lifts from the burner. For a sooty flame, progressively open the air shutter until the flame burns cleanly. FIGURE 19. SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT Once adjusted to a stable flame that burns cleanly and does not lift, turn the grill control knob to the OFF position. Tighten the lock screw.
Caring for Your Grill STAINLESS STEEL CARE: The Crown Verity Grills is built from 304 stainless steel, which is a high-quality, nonmagnetic stainless steel that is very corrosion resistant. It is also a highly sanitary surface. The stainless steel components of your grill are warranted for life against structural deterioration or failure (See INDEX: “Commercial and Residential Warranty” for further details). With proper care, your grill should last a lifetime.
BURNER CARE: The burners should be visually inspected once a year. To access the burners, first make sure the grill is completely cooled. Ensure the control valves are in the OFF position and turn off the main gas supply. Open the roll dome or remove completely. Carefully remove the cooking grates as they are heavy. The radiants and burners are now exposed. Visually inspect the burners to confirm they are structurally sound.
EMPTYING THE GREASE/WATER TRAY: The grease tray should be cleaned after every use. The tray is equipped with a drain cap that can be removed to drain the water/ grease mixture from the tray. WARNING: The tray gets extremely hot when the grill is operating. Empty the tray only when the grill is cool. Before using the grill is a good time to empty the tray. Pull the tray forward so that the drain cap is clear of the front of the appliance. Place a bucket under the cap and slowly remove the drain cap.
SMELL OF GAS WHILE COOKING: IF YOU SMELL GAS WHILE THE GRILL IS OPERATING, IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ALL BURNERS AND SHUT OFF THE MAIN FUEL SUPPLY. • Perform a leak test (See INDEX: “Leal Test Procedure” for further details). • Check for blockages (See INDEX: “Caring for Your Grill” for further details). GRILL WON’T GET TO TEMPERATURE: If the unit does not get to operating temperature within 30 minutes of starting, the burners may not be getting sufficient gas flow.
• Ensure that the appliance is connected to a live AC power source. • Check the 12 volt harness connection to the power supply. • If the switches are not illuminated, remove the face, and check the switch connections (See INDEX: “Burner Adjustments” Figure 16, for further details). • If the switches are illuminated but the burner knobs are not, remove the face and check the harness connections to the LED bezels (See INDEX: “Burner Adjustments” Figure 16, for further details).
