CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 – WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products that are on the list of substances that are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the use and care manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when cooking with gas.

INSECT WARNING!
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this and any other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition that can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate. Inspect the grill twice a year or immediately if any symptoms appear.

To disconnect the tank

• Turn off the main tank valve.
• Grasp the coupler sleeve and turn counterclockwise.
• Remove the inlet from the opening.

CAUTION: The LP tank (shipped separately) is a Type 1 Acme. Do not attempt to change or alter these supplied parts Do not attempt to use the regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL tank/valve assembly.

NATURAL GAS MODELS

• The grill and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG.

• The grill must be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG.

• The installation of these grills must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223 latest edition.

• The operating pressure is 4″ W.C.

• Supply pressure should be 5″ to 14″ W.C. If pressure is more than 14″ W.C. a step-down regulator is required.

• Check with the local gas utility or with local codes for instructions on installing gas supply lines.

• Be sure to check on type and size of run and how deep to bury the line. If the gas line is too small, the grill will not function properly.

• Install a manual gas shut-off valve in an easily accessible location.

• Use threading compound on male threads only. Do not use threading compound on the male end of the 1/2 NPT to 3/8 flare adapter.

• Make connections as shown.

• Check to be sure the regulator arrow points in the direction of gas flow, towards the grill and away from the gas supply.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

• Models with rotisserie require 120V, 60Hz. and connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
• The power cord on the rotisserie is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of shock hazard from this appliance.
• If the electrical service provided does not meet the above specifications, it is recommended that a licensed electrician install an approved outlet.
• DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
• For 27″ wide built-in grills, locate the electrical outlet on the left-hand side within reach of the rotisserie’s 72″ power cord.
• For 36″ and 48″ wide built-in grills, locate the electrical outlet on the right-hand side within reach of the rotisserie’s 30″ power cord.

Step 4 Test for Leaks

WARNING TEST FOR LEAKS A complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site.

• Do not use the grill until all connections have been leak-tested.
• Repeat leak test after each LP tank change.
• Check to be sure the main valve on the LP tank or the shut-off valve is in the “OFF” position.
• Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water.
• The valve panel must be removed to check the valves and fittings.
• All control valves should be in the “OFF” position.
• Remove the knobs.
• On models equipped with Rotisserie, remove the safety valve pushbutton and unscrew the surrounding bezel.
• Remove the 4 screws holding the valve panel to the grill.
• Pull the panel outwards and unplug the wires from the back of the rotary igniters.
• If the grill has an optional rotisserie burner, remove the screws holding the inspection cover in place.

TO TEST

• Apply the soap solution around the connections, valve, and tubing.
• Turn the gas supply on.
• Check all connections from the supply line or LP tank up to and including the manifold pipe assembly.
• If a leak is detected, turn the gas supply to off and tighten the fittings. Turn the gas on and check again.
• To re-install the valve panel, re-connect the igniter wires and secure the panel with original screws.

STEP 5 Check Burners, Drip Trays, and Grates

• During shipping parts, such as burners and reflectors may have moved. Check to be sure all parts are in position.
• Remove the smoker tray (if so equipped). Check to be sure the smoker burner and deflector plate are installed properly. The burner and plate should be placed over the holding pin at the back and front of the grill.
• Check to be sure all burners are in the correct position. Burners should rest flat over the antiflip brackets with stubs on top and flat side down.
• Check to be sure that all grill burners are level and securely seated in the grill box.
• Place Gourmet radiant on top of each burner. Clips on the bottom of the radiant fits over stubs on the burners. It should be centered in the grill box from front to rear.
• Place the grill grates over the opening.
• Slide the drip tray into place.

Step 6 Lighting the Grill

WARNING Do not attempt to light the grill if the odor of gas is present.

CAUTION: Keep hands and face as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.

• Open the lid and remove the side cooktop burner cover.

• Turn all knobs to the “OFF” position.

• Turn gas supply on at the LP tank or shut off the valve.
  NOTE: When lighting the burner for the first time or after an LP tank change, allow up to 20 seconds to purge air from the lines.

• Push and turn the control knob to the “LITE” position, and immediately turn the rotary igniter knob next to the burner knob.
  NOTE: The spark will produce a snapping sound. This is normal.

• If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, turn knobs to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes for the gas to dissipate before trying again.

• If the burner does not light after several attempts, the burner can be lit with a match.

• A match stick extension rod is provided on some models.

TO MATCH LIGHT

• Insert a match stick (DO NOT LIGHT) securely into the clip end of the match stick extension rod.

• Light the match stick held on the end of the rod and hold it against a burner port towards the front.

• Push and turn the corresponding control knob to the LITE position.

• If the burner does not light after 4 seconds, turn the knob OFF. Wait 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate before trying to light the burner again.

• All burners may be match-lit in the same manner.

• If the match light extension rod is not provided with your model, refer to the Owners Manual for lighting instructions.

Step 7 Adjusting the Burners

Adjustments should not be required unless vibration during transit or variations in local gas supply make minor adjustments necessary. Adjustments must be made by a qualified technician at the time of installation. Extreme care should be used if adjustments are made after installation.

• Turn gas supply on.
• Push and turn the burner control knobs to the “LITE” position. Up to 20 seconds may be required to purge air from the lines.
• Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting from the burner. If any of these conditions exist turn the control to off and check air shutter and burner ports for debris or spider webs.

TO ADJUST

• Remove burners by lifting and twisting while pulling towards the back.

• Locate and loosen the lock screw on the face of the air shutter with a screwdriver.

• Replace the burners.

• Turn the burner knob to the “LITE” position.

• If the flame is yellow, indicating insufficient air, turn the air shutter open to allow more air to the burner.

• If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the burner, there is too much air. Turn the air shutter to reduce the opening.

• Side burners can be adjusted in the same manner.

Low setting Adjustment

Minor adjustments may be required due to fluctuations in local gas pressure. Adjustments to increase or decrease gas flow may be necessary.

• Turn the burner knob to the “LITE” position.
• Turn the control knob to the lowest setting, all the way counter-clockwise.
• Remove the knob by pulling it straight out.
• Insert a thin-blade flat screwdriver into the valve shaft and hold. (3/32″ blade width recommended.)
• Grip the shaft with pliers and turn the screwdriver counter-clockwise to lower the flame, or clockwise to increase the flame.
• When the desired setting is made, replace the knob and turn the burner off.

NOTE: Adjustment of the infra-red rotisserie burner is not recommended.

WARNING
Always check the low flame size for stability. A burner flame that is too small may go out or be extinguished easily. This can cause unburned gas to escape and cause a hazardous condition.
