This unit comes from the factory confi gured for one type of
gas, as marked on the label located behind the control panel,
or on the interior of the unit’s enclosure.
A certified kit is available from the manufacturer to
convert your appliance from natural gas to L.P. or vice
versa. Contact your dealer for ordering information. The
professional installer must reference the steps below
for conversion information. If the conversion kit ordered
includes instructions, follow those instructions.
1. Change brass gas orifi ces (included at original shipping)
on each burner to match the new gas type (see MODEL
SPECIFICATIONS TABLE, Table 1).
2. If applicable, switch the convertible gas regulator
(originally equipped only on natural gas models) to match
the new gas type (see section below).
Note: Models to be connected to a household propane or
natural gas line require the regulator. For models
to be connected to L.P. Cylinders, the regulator is
optional.
Note: Nat. to L.P. conversions using a tank internal to a
portable grill require use of a propane tank holder
for safety and compliance with the ANSI standards
referenced on the cover of this document. A
conversion kit (which includes this tank holder) must
be purchased separately from the manufacturer.
3. Plumb the unit as appropriate for the new gas supply.
4. Apply the label for the new gas (included at original shipping)
over the old gas information found on your unit.
THIS APPLIANCE REGULATOR IS RATED FOR
1
/
2
PSI MAXIMUM. IF YOUR GAS SUPPLY IS GREATER THAN
1
/
2
PSI, AN ADDITIONAL REGULATOR MUST BE INSTALLED TO REDUCE THE INPUT PRESSURE TO THE UNIT to
1
/
2
PSI OR LESS. SEE GAS-SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS SECTION FOR PROPER GAS-SUPPLY PRESSURE.
Note: Each end of the plastic converter is engraved with either the letters “NAT”
or “L.P.” (propane) for the respective gasses. When the converter is in the
cap and the cap is held uppermost, the letters seen indicate the gas that
the regulator is set up for.
To convert the regulator from one gas to another, follow steps 1-4.
STEP 2:
Remove the converter (the
plastic stalk) by carefully
pulling it away from the center
of the cap (it will snap out of
its seating).
STEP 1:
Unscrew and remove the cap from the
regulator, extracting the converter.
Regulator: note cap on top
STEP 3:
Turn the converter around and
replace it carefully, into the
center of the cap (it will snap
into place). Check that you can
read the type of gas the unit is
set for.
STEP 4:
Replace the unit into the
regulator and screw down
until snug.

WARNING
WARNING
HAZARDOUS OVERHEATING WILL OCCUR
IF A NATURAL-GAS ORIFICE IS USED WITH
PROPANE GAS. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE IF THE
CORRECT ORIFICES ARE INSTALLED, OR IF AN
ORIFICE CHANGE IS NECESSARY, REFER TO
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: Make sure the unit is at a safe
temperature and isolated from
gas and electrical supplies before
beginning the tasks outlined below.
Note: The cooler the unit, the greater the
tolerances between the stainless-
steel parts, and therefore the easier to
disassemble and reassemble parts of the
unit.
CAUTION: For your safety, exercise caution and
use adequate hand protection (such
as gloves) when handling potentially
sharp sheet-metal parts.
