For

g

dealer.
LP GA
S
Grills set up for LP gas come equipped with an LP hose
/
regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP
cylinder. (Type 1). All fi ttings necessary to attach the assembly
t
o the grill are included.
Permanentl
y
plumbed LP connections, such as those in line
with a bulk c
y
linder, require a 4/11 re
g
ulator.
When using the 4/11 regulator you must ensure that it is
s
et
f
or the proper
f
uel type. This is done by removing

of the plunger to see what fuel type is visible. This is the
regulator
f
uel setting. NAT is
f
or natural gas and LP is
f
or
propane gas. The LP setting can be
f
urther identi
fi
ed by the
large diameter disk on the bottom of the plunger. To change
f
rom one gas to the other simply push the plunger to the
s
ide to snap it out o
f
the cap, turn the plunger so it reads the
desired gas type on the bottom, and push the plunger until
it snaps
