INSTALLATION / USE & CARE
REPLACE any damaged supply lines.
• Check the Regulator
Make sure that the regulator & hose assembly is the
one designed for and supplied with your grill and that
it is correctly set up for the type of fuel you are using.
(See INDEX: “Regulator Conversion” for further details.)
The hose and regulator provided must be used if your grill
is set-up for an LP Gas Cylinder.
Check that there is no physical pressure being applied to
the regulator attached to the back of the grill. The regulator
contains a fl exible diaphragm and should not be allowed to
touch the grill body or its surroundings.
• Check for Obstructions
Ensure that the burners and drip tray are clean and free
from obstructions.
LP (Propane) units:
• Is the cylinder almost empty?
Almost-empty cylinders may not have suffi cient pressure
to run the burners at high heat.
• Have the line pressure checked by a qualifi ed technician
(See INDEX: “Gas Requirements” for further details.)
• Flow Limiting Device
Improper lighting procedures may have activated the LP
cylinder’s fl ow control device, reducing the heat output.
To reset the fl ow control:
• Shut off all burner controls and close the LP cylinder
valve.
• Wait 30 seconds and, very slowly, reopen the cylinder
valve.
• Wait a few seconds and relite a burner.
Bulk LP cylinder users:
Bulk LP cylinder lines must be properly regulated.
Ensure that you are using a 4/11 appliance regulator
supplied by Viking Range, LLC and converted to LP gas.
Also ensure that you do not have more than one regulator
in line.
Natural Gas units:
• Supply Line
Ensure that the supply line is at least 3/4” inside diameter
or 1” outside diameter.
• Check line pressure
Natural gas inlet pressure should be at least 5” W.C. and
manifold pressure not less than 4” W.C. under full load
(with all burners on.)
• Check burners for blockages.
• Check fl ame characteristics. (See INDEX: “Flame, Correct
Size” )
• Clean or adjust air shutter (See INDEX: “Air Shutter
Adjustment.”
WIND HITTING GRILL
Wind hitting the grill while in use, especially winds blowing
into or across the hood gap from behind, can cause poor
performance and in some cases can cause the control panel
to get dangerously hot.
Steady or gusty winds can prevent the normal exhaust of
hot gases. Locate your grill away from prevailing winds and
avoid grilling in windy conditions.
