NATURAL GAS HOOK-UPS AND WARNINGS
NEW Natural Gas Barbecue
If you are experiencing poor natural gas barbecue performance, including but not limited to low flame, low heat or poor heat distribution, please review the following information:
•Always consult the Rating Label on the back of the barbecue to confirm that it has already been configured to burn natural gas.
•If experiencing performance issues with a brand new barbecue hooked up to an older natural gas home connection, it is possible that the natural gas supply line is not able to supply up to the essential 85,000 BTU’s required (depending on the
model). Please contact Centro Customer Care for requirements and then consult with your certified natural gas technician.
•All gas supply plumbing must be carried out by a qualified service agency. The Supply connection shall be carried out in accordance with provincial authorities having jurisdiction, and in accordance with CAN/CGA
•A shut off valve must be installed between the barbecue and the main supply. For natural gas, use a 3/8” or 1/2” natural gas supply line capable of an input of up to 85,000 BTU’s (depending on the model).
•When conducting pressure test always isolate the barbecue from the gas supply piping system by disconnecting the barbecue and closing its individual manual shutoff valve. The gas supply piping system should be tested at pressures which exceed 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
•All gas supply plumbing must be able to supply 7” water column to the barbecue WITH ALL BURNERS IN OPERATION.
WARNING
ALL Centro BBQ’s are sold either NATURAL GAS or PROPANE READY and are not convertible from one gas source to another.
