1. Make gas connections.
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the
grill to the existing gas line.
■ If local codes permit, use an outdoor flexible stainless
steel tubing gas connector, design-certified by CSA
International, to connect the grill to the rigid gas supply
line. A ⁵⁄₈" diameter line is recommended. Using a wrench
to tighten, connect the gas supply to the grill. Use pipe-
joint compound on all non-flared male threads. Do not
kink or damage the flexible connector when moving the
grill.
■ Pipe-joint compounds suitable for use with LP gas must
be used. Do not use TEFLON
®†
tape.
2. Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
3. Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a
leak. Correct any leak found.
4. The batteries are not factory installed. The 1.5-volt “D” size
alkaline batteries are located in the accessory box on the grill
grate. Install the batteries at this time following the
instructions in the “Replacing the Batteries” section.
Plug in Grill
NOTE: This built-in outdoor grill comes with a large 5000 mAmp
power transformer/plug assembly for the grill’s lights and, on
some models, for the electronic display and igniter. Follow the
instructions for plugging in and mounting the power transformer.
Keep any electrical supply cord away from any heated surfaces.
1. Plug the single-prong plug into the receptacle on the left
underside of the grill.
2. Locate or build a non-combustible surface inside the island
cabinet to mount the power transformer. It must be to the left
side of the grill at a minimum of 3" (7.6 cm) from the side and
4" (10.2 cm) below the bottom of the grill.
3. Mount the power transformer to the mounting surface using
4 #8 screws (not supplied) that are the proper type and length
for the transformer and the mounting surface. It must be
mounted with the wire for the single-prong plug upward or
toward the grill.
NOTE: The cord must be properly mounted with a cord
retention device so that its 3-prong plug will not touch the
ground when it is unplugged.

column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
