CONNECT THE GAS SUPPLY
For household propane or natural gas units:
1. Route the fl ex connector to the gas stub.
2. Turn OFF the gas supply at the source.
3. A shut-off valve is required within 6 feet of the unit.
If shut-off valve is connected to end of gas supply stub:
• Connect the fl ex connector to the shut-off valve (see Fig.
19-1). Tighten securely.
If shut-off valve is installed in-line:
• Install the supplied fl are adapter to the gas supply using
a pipe joint compound resistant to all gasses (see Fig.
19-1). Tighten securely.
• Connect the fl ex connector to the fl are adapter (see Fig.
19-1). Tighten securely.
For propane cylinders:
For connecting a propane unit to a portable propane tank,
read the safety warnings and follow the instructions in the
section SAFE USE AND MAINTENANCE OF PROPANE GAS
CYLINDERS.
Important: An appropriate adapter will be required to connect
the existing fl ex connector to an L.P. regulator/hose
assembly.
LEAK TEST
Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position. Turn the gas
supply on. Then carefully check all gas connections for leaks with
a brush and half-soap/half-water solution before lighting. NEVER
USE A MATCH OR OPEN FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS.
RECONNECT POWER SUPPLY WIRES
CAUTION: IMPROPERLY CONNECTED WIRES WILL
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE GRILL AND MAY
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
To connect the power supply box, connect the wires coming from
the power supply to the wire harness extension as shown in Fig. 19-2.
Important: Apply dielectric grease to the male connectors prior
to making any wire connections.
RE-SECURE ACCESS PLATE
Carefully replace the access plate using the four screws,
ensuring all interior components are properly oriented inside
of the grill. Ensure the power supply cord (and fl ex connector
if applicable) coming out of the rear of the post are properly
situated and the plastic bushing/grommet pieces are secure
in place.
CONNECT POWER CORD
Connect the cord coming from the rear access plate to a 120VAC
(15 AMP minimum) GFCI GROUNDED 3-wire receptacle.
