NEW Natural Gas Barbecue
If you are experiencing poor natural gas barbecue performance, including but not limited to low ame, low heat or poor heat
distribution, please review the following information:
• Always consult the Rating Label on the back of the barbecue to conrm that it has already been congured to burn natural gas.
• If experiencing performance issues with a brand new barbecue hooked up to an older natural gas home connection, it is possible
that the natural gas supply line is not able to supply up to the essential 85,000 BTU’s required (depending on the model). Please
contact Master Chef® Customer Care for requirements and then consult with your certied natural gas technician.
• All gas supply plumbing must be carried out by a qualied service agency. The Supply connection shall be carried out in
accordance with provincial authorities having jurisdiction, and in accordance with CAN/CGA 1-B149.1 & 2 installation code
requirements.
• A shut o valve must be installed between the barbecue and the main supply. For natural gas, use a 3/8” or 1/2” natural gas
supply line capable of an input of up to 85,000 BTU’s (depending on the model).
• When conducting pressure test always isolate the barbecue from the gas supply piping system by disconnecting the
barbecue and closing its individual manual shuto valve. The gas supply piping system should be tested at pressures
which exceed 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
• All gas supply plumbing must be able to supply 7” water column to the barbecue WITH ALL BURNERS IN OPERATION.
If you are experiencing low heat performance issues, you may have activated the ow limiting feature in
your home’s natural gas connection. To reset the ow limiting device, follow these steps:
1. Open the lid of your BBQ
2. Ensure that the control knobs are in the OFF/CLOSED position
3. Ensure that the Natural Gas Supply valve is in the OFF/CLOSED position at the Home Connection
4. Disconnect the Natural Gas Supply hose by separating the Quick Connect Assembly at the Home connection
5. Turn all control knobs to the ON/OPEN position (MAX)
6. Reconnect the Natural Gas Supply hose by securing the Quick Connect assembly connection
7. Using your hands only, check all connections to conrm that positive seal has been made
8. Turn the knobs to the OFF/CLOSED position
9. Slowly turn ON the Natural Gas Supply valve to the ON/OPEN position
10. Wait 30 seconds for the gas pressure to stabilize (60 seconds in cold weather)
11. Turn ON/OPEN the selected burner control knob, to the MAX position and wait 3 to 5 seconds
12. Press the Electronic ignition button, or use the match and match holder to ignite the selected burner (BBQ lighter)
13. Repeat steps if not successful on rst try.
