CONNECT THE GAS SUPPLY
For household propane or natural gas units:
1. Route the fl ex connector to the gas stub.
2. Turn OFF the gas supply at the source.
3. A shut-off valve is required within 6 feet of the unit.
If shut-off valve is connected to end of gas supply stub:
• Connect the fl ex connector to the shut-off valve (see Fig.
19-1). Tighten securely.
If shut-off valve is installed in-line:
• Install the supplied fl are adapter to the gas supply using
a pipe joint compound resistant to all gasses (see Fig.
19-1). Tighten securely.
• Connect the fl ex connector to the fl are adapter (see Fig.
19-1). Tighten securely.
For propane cylinders:
For connecting a propane unit to a portable propane tank,
read the safety warnings and follow the instructions in the
section SAFE USE AND MAINTENANCE OF PROPANE GAS
CYLINDERS.
Important: An appropriate adapter will be required to connect
the existing fl ex connector to an L.P. regulator/hose
assembly.
LEAK TEST
Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position. Turn the gas
supply on. Then carefully check all gas connections for leaks with
a brush and half-soap/half-water solution before lighting. NEVER
USE A MATCH OR OPEN FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS.
RE-SECURE ACCESS PLATE
Carefully replace the access plate using the four screws,
ensuring all interior components are properly oriented inside of
the grill. If applicable, ensure the fl ex connector coming out of
the rear of the post is properly situated and the grommet piece
is secure in place.
