INSTALLATION / USE & CARE
REPLACE any damaged supply lines.
• Check the Regulator
Make sure that the regulator & hose assembly is the one de-
signed 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 con-
tains a 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 su cient pressure to
run the burners at high heat.
• Have the line pressure checked by a quali ed technician (See
INDEX: “Gas Requirements” for further details.)
• Flow Limiting Device
Improper lighting procedures may have activated the LP cylin-
der’s ow control device, reducing the heat output.
To reset the ow control:
• Shut o 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 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 perfor-
mance 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.
