NATURAL GAS CONVERSION
PREPARATION:
Before beginning conversion, make sure all parts are present. If any part is missing or
damaged, do not attempt to convert. Please have your owner’s manual and part number
available for reference, and contact customer service 1-800-963-0211 for replacement parts.
1. Turn off gas supply and then remove cap on gas supply side.
2. Recommended: Install a shut-off valve on gas supply side before installing the socket.
3. Socket should be installed by an authorized technician in accordance with the national fuel
gas code (NFPA 54/ANSI223.1).
4. Before inserting plug, turn on gas supply and leak test all connections including the stem of
the shut-off valve and the opening of the socket. For best results, use an ammonia-free soap
and water solution.
Leak Check
When checking for gas leaks, do not use an open flame. Use a soapy water solution and apply it
to the pipe joints and fittings with a brush and check for bubbles. Check flexible hoses for cuts
and wear that may affect the safe operation of the grill. Only use original equipment replacement
hoses. Use only replacement hose assemblies specified by manufacturer.
Before operating your grill, after refueling, check carefully to be certain that all connections are
tight and there are no gas leaks.
1. Make 2-3 ounces of leak solution by mixing liquid dishwashing soap with water.
2. Make certain all control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
3. Brush small amounts of the leak solution on all the fittings and turn the gas on.
4. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Proceed to step 5.
5. Turn the gas off and tighten all connections.
6. Go back to step 1 to retest the fittings.
7. If bubbles continue to appear, turn the gas off. Contact customer service.
WARNING: Never use a match or open flame for leak detection. Use of an open flame could
result in a fire, explosion and bodily harm.
IMPORTANT: When connecting or replacing gas pipe or fittings, all joints must be sealed with
approved leak-proof sealing compound or plumber's tape. After making connections, check all
joints for leaks using a soapy water solution and a brush.
