Gas Supply
The burner 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.
•Install a manual gas shut-off valve in an easily
accessible location.
•Connect the 1/2 NPT coupling to the
burner gas inlet.
•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.
The installation of these burners must con-
form with local codes or, or in the absence of
local codes, with the National fuel gas code,
ANSI Z223.1a, latest edition.
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 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 burner will not function properly.

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

Adjustments must be made by a qualified
technician at the time of installation. Extreme
care should be used if adjustments are made
after installation.
Adjusting
the Burners
Burner
•Push and turn the burner control knobs to
the “LITE” position. Push and turn the small
ignitor knob clockwise.
•Flames should be blue and stable with no
yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting from the
burner. If any of these conditions exist, turn
control to off and check air shutter and
burner ports for debris or spider webs.
Air Shutter
Venturi Tube
TO ADJUST:
•If the flame is yellow, indicating insufficient
air, turn the air shutter 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.
Burner
Low setting Adjustment:
Bezel
Minor adjustments may be required due to
fluctuations in local gas pressure. Adjustments
to increase or decrease gas flow may be
necessary.
•Turn the control knob to the lowest setting,
all the way counter-clockwise.
•Remove the knob by pulling straight out.
•Insert a thin-blade flat screwdriver into the
valve shaft and hold. (3/32" blade width
recommended.)
Valve Stem
•Grip the shaft with pliers and turn counter-
clockwise to lower the flame, or clockwise to
increase the flame.
•When the desired setting is made, replace the
knob and turn burner off.
WARNING:
Always check the low flame size for stability. A
burner flame which is too small may go out or
be extinguished easily. This can cause un-
burned gas to escape and cause a hazardous
condition.
•Place aeration pan over the burners.
•Place the cast iron grate over the opening.
•Place cover over the top when not in use.
