Natural Gas
If your grill is for Natural Gas, it is set for a 7-in. water
column (WC) and is for use with Natural Gas only. Gas
pressure is affected by gas line size and the length of
gas line run from house gas line. Follow the
recommendations in the chart below.
From House to Grill
Distance Tubing Size
Up to 25 ft. 3/8 in. diameter
26-50 ft. 1/2 in. diameter
51-100 ft.
2/3 of the run: 3/4 in. diameter
1/3 of the run :1/2 in. diameter
Over 101 ft. 3/4 in. diameter
CAUTION:
If low flames or burner problems are witnessed after
converting from LPG to NG, the natural gas lines may not
be large enough. Refer to the "From House to Grill" chart
on page 12 for natural gas supply line specifications.
Please contact a plumber to assure proper pressure at 7
in. water column.
Do not return your grill to the store.
Excess Flow Control and Low Heat
The propane regulator assembly incorporates an excess
flow device designed to supply the grill with sufficient gas
flow under normal conditions yet control excess gas flow.
Rapid changes in pressure can trigger the excess flow
device providing a low flame and low temperature. If the
tank valve is turned open to allow gas flow while a burner
valve is open, the surge of pressure will cause the device
to activate. The device will remain closed until the
pressure is equalized. This should occur within 5
seconds.
To ensure this does not cause difficulty in lighting the grill,
follow these instructions:
1. Make sure all burner valves are “OFF”.
2. Open the tank valve and wait 5 seconds.
3. Light the burners one at a time following the lighting
instructions.
Helpful Care and Maintenance Hints
Before grilling, pre-heat grill for 15 minutes on "HI" with
hood down. To avoid uncontrolled flare-ups or grease
fires, grill meats with hood open. Close hood if meats are
thick or weather is cold, or if you are using a rotisserie or
indirect cooking.
Always protect your hand with a pot holder or cooking
glove when coming into contact with a hot surface.
Hood up when grilling meats, especially chicken. Hood
down when indirect or rotisserie cooking.
NEVER leave your grill unattended while cooking.
After use, close hood, turn burners to HI for 15 min. for
self-cleaning, grease burn off.
