Location requirements
Select a location that provides minimum exposure to wind and traffic paths. The location should be away from strong draft areas.
Do not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Gas supply requirements
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: Side burner must be connected to a regulated gas supply.
•Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet (610 m). For elevations above 2,000 feet (610 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet (305 m) above sea level. Orifice conversion is required. Contact KitchenAid Assistance Center.
•Refer to the model/serial rating plate for information on the type of gas that can be used. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, check with your local gas supplier.
No attempt shall be made to convert the side burner from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas type without consulting the serving gas supplier. The conversion kits specified must be used.
Line pressure testing:
Testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) or
14 inches (35.5 cm) W.C. (gauge):
The side burner and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Testing below 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) or 14 inches (35.5 cm) W.C. (gauge) or lower:
The side burner must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff 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).
Built-in Side Burners –
Natural Gas:
Side burner are equipped for use with Natural gas. They are
Side burners are set for natural gas use and have a pressure regulator with 1/2" female pipe threads.
The supply line shall be equipped with an approved shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same area as the side burner and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.

L.P. Gas Conversion
L.P. gas conversion from a local L.P. gas supply:
Conversion must be made by a qualified gas technician. The qualified natural gas technician shall provide the L.P. gas supply to the selected side burner location in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54 and local codes. To convert to L.P. gas, the L.P. Gas Conversion Kit No. 4396312 must be used. Follow Instructions included with kit.
L.P. gas conversion using a L.P. fuel tank:
To convert to L.P. gas, the L.P. Gas Conversion Kit No. 4396312 must be used. Follow Instructions included with kit.
A L.P. gas cylinder, not larger than 20 pounds, must be purchased separately.
NATURAL GAS:
Set pressure 4 inches (10.2 cm) W.C. Supply pressure
(17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) W.C. maximum.
L.P. GAS: Operating pressure:
11 inches (28 cm) W.C. Supply pressure: 11 to 14 inches
(28 to 35.5 cm) W.C.
Side Burner Installation
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install side burner.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Natural Gas
This installation must conform with local codes and ordinances**. In the absence of local codes, installations must conform with either the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1, or CAN/CGA- B149.1* Natural Gas and Propane installation code.
1.Place side burner into outdoor enclosure, but leave enough room in back to connect to gas supply.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new AGA or CSA approved “outdoor” gas supply line.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed 11" (28 cm) water 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.
2.Make gas connections.
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the side burner to the existing gas line.
