CONNECTION Natural Gas Grills
Gas Leaks Checks
Before operating your grill, check carefully to be certain that all connections are tight and there are no gas leaks. Never use a match or flame for leak detection. Use soapy water or testing solution. Brush the solution on to connection points and look closely for bubbles indicating escaping gas. If leaks are detected, shut off the main gas supply valve and securely retighten connections, then repeat the leak test.
CAUTION: The appliance and its individual shutoff 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 (14” wc).
CAUTION: The appliance 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 (14” wc).
WARNING: Never use an open flame when testing for gas leaks! Use of an open flame may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.

WARNING: Your Ducane® grill was not designed to operate with the Rotisserie Burner and the Main Burner(s) on at the same time. Failure to follow this warning will lead to an over- heating condition which would damage grill components and cause bodily harm.
WARNING: Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel sup- ply hose away from any heated surfaces.
Lighting Your Grill
WARNING: Before each use of your grill it is important to inspect the full length of the gas line hose. Your hose can be accessed through the cabinet doors on a 24”Three Burner Model, and through the cabinet drawer on the 32” Five Burner Model. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced with a manufacturer recommended part prior to the appliance be- ing put into operation.
Check your parts list or your authorized dealer for the proper replacement hose as- sembly. It will be necessary to open the doors to fully inspect the hose.
DANGER: Make sure that the lid is in the full open postion any time you attempt to light your grill. Failure to open the lid could lead to delayed ignition which may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.
IMPORTANT
If an external electrical source is used it must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and/or the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1
