with a bulk cylinder, require a 4/11 regulator
.
When using the 4/11 regulator you must ensure that it
is set for the
p
ro
p
er fuel ty
p
e. This is done by removing
the regulator ca
p
and gasket and looking at the bottom
of the plunger to see what fuel type is visible. This is the
regulator fuel setting. NAT is for natural gas and LP is for
p
ro
p
ane gas. The LP setting can be further identifi ed by
the large diameter disk on the bottom of the plunger. To
change from one gas to the other sim
p
ly
p
ush the
p
lunge
r
to the side to snap it out of the cap, turn the plunger so
it reads the desired gas type on the bottom, and push
the plunger until it snaps back into place in the cap then
replace the cap into the regulator
.
Never connect an unregulated gas line to the grill.
