Important Information about
NaturalGas & Gas Connections
What is Natural Gas?
Natural gas (NG) is a combustible, gaseous mixture
of simple hydrocarbon compounds, usually found in
deep underground reservoirs formed by porous rock.
It is a fossil fuel composed almost entirely of methane.
Natural gas is delivered by your local utility through an
underground pipeline system.
General Specifications
• This grill is designed to operate at 4.5" of water column
pressure (0.16245 psi).
• The quick-disconnect fitting can be installed horizontally or
pointing downward, but never pointing upward. Installing it
with the open end pointing upward can result in water and
debris collecting in the quick-disconnect fitting.
• The dust covers (plastic plugs supplied with your grill) help
keep the open ends of the quick-disconnect fitting clean
while disconnected.
Hose Requirements
• The grill is equipped with a model specific hose that was
attached during the manufacturing process. This specific
hose must be used for proper performance.
• If the hose becomes worn or damaged, contact the
Customer Service Representative in your area using the
contact information on our website.
Pressure Testing the Gas Supply
• Disconnect the gas grill when the gas supply is being
tested at high pressures. This appliance and its individual
shuto valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
• Turn o the gas grill when the gas supply is being tested
at low pressures. This appliance must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shuto valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2psig (3.5 kPa).

Hose Connection
Connect the Hose to the GasSupply
A quick-disconnect fitting connects your grill to the gas
supply. Gas will not flow unless the quick-disconnect is
properly engaged.
1) Check that all burner control knobs are in the o
position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs
clockwise (A).
2) Starting from inside the cabinet, route the flexible gas
hose out of the opening in the rear panel (B).
3) Slide the collar of the quick-disconnect back (C).
4) Push male fitting of the hose into the quick-disconnect
and maintain pressure. Slide the collar closed (D). If it
does not engage or lock, repeat procedure. Proceed to
”CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS”.
