CHECKING AND CONVERTING GAS TYPE
This barbecue comes from the factory confi gured
for one type of gas, as marked on the label behind
the barbecue face plate.
Converting this barbecue to burn a different
type of gas requires a conversion kit from the
factory. The professional installer that converts
this barbecue to burn a different gas must
perform the following functions:
1. Change replaceable, brass gas orifi ces (included at
original shipping) on each burner to match the new
gas type (see PRODUCT DATA TABLE, Table 1).
2. Switch the convertible gas regulator (included
at original shipping) to match the new gas type
(see below).
3. Plumb the unit to the new gas supply.
4. Apply a new label behind the faceplate, indicating
the new gas the barbecue will burn (included
with conversion kit).
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 barbecue is at a safe
temperature and isolated from gas and
electrical supplies before beginning
the tasks outlined below.
Note: The cooler the barbecue, the greater
the tolerances between the stainless
steel parts, and therefore, the easier to
disassemble and reassemble parts of the
barbecue.
CAUTION: For your safety, exercise caution and
use adequate hand protection, such
as gloves, when handling potentially
sharp sheet-metal parts.
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 BARBECUE to
1
/
2
PSI OR LESS. SEE GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
SECTION FOR PROPER GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE.
CHECKING AND CONVERTING THE REGULATOR
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.
