Cylinder Specifications - - - - - Any L.P. gas supply cylinder used with this appliance must be approximately 12 inches diameter and 18 inches high. The maximum fuel capacity is 80% and is approximately 20 pounds of propane. The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve (see picture) terminating in a Type 1 L.P. A Type 1 compatible cylinder with a Type 1 cylinder valve has a back-check valve which does not permit gas flow, until a positive seal has been obtained.
Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn the coupling nut clockwise until the coupler tightens up (see picture). Do not over tighten the coupler. Turn the main tank valve on and turn the burner control valves on the unit to the “HIGH” position for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge before attempting to light the burners. WARNING: Always take a leak test before lighting the grill to prevent a possible fire or explosion.
test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE connecting to burner. - Natural Gas Hook-up Always check the rating plate to make sure the gas supply you are hooking up to is the gas type the side burner is manufactured for. This natural gas burner is designed to operate on natural gas ONLY, at a pressure regulated at 4” (101.6mm) water column (W.C.) when equipped with the correct natural gas orifices on the valves and a natural gas regulator on the supply line regulated at the residential meter.
Locating the Side Burner Check your local building codes for the proper method of installation. In the absence of local codes, this unit should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code No. Z223.1-1998 USA or CAN/CGA-B149.1/.2 Natural Gas/Propane Code (Canada) latest edition or the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1, 1990 or latest version.
The two top illustrations demonstrate how the slide-in type unit is designed to fit into openfront enclosures, and supported at the Countertop. Do not install this unit under unprotected flammable surfaces. Do not install or use this appliance inside a building, garage, or any other covered area. It must not be used in or on recreational vehicles or boats. INSTALLER NOTE: This unit should be installed so that it can be removed at a later date if factory service is required.
For Built-in Installations A side burner is designed for easy installation into masonry enclosures. For non-combustible applications, the side burner drops into the opening (as shown in cut-out detail drawing - Fig. A) above or below depending on space, and hangs from its counter top trim. A deck is not required to support it from the bottom. It is recommended that the enclosure have ventilation holes to prevent gas build-up in the event of a leak.
Pre Operation Leak Testing DANGER 1. 2. 3. Do not insert any tool into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death. If a leak is detected at any time or you cannot stop a gas leak, immediately close pipeline valve and call LP gas supplier or you fire department! Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to the regulator.
gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank; when gas is allowed to escape rapidly, it shuts off the gas supply. A leak may significantly reduce the gas flow making the side burner difficult to light or causing low flames.
