CONNECTING YOUR ELITE 50 GOURMET BARBECUE TO THE GAS SUPPLY
TO CONNECT TO THE GAS SUPPLY
a.The Elite Barbecue is supplied with an approved stain- less steel flex connector to bring the gas supply from the gas line stub to the Valve Manifold. A 7/8”x 36” Connector is provided with a 1/2" female pipe adapter on one end to connect to your gas suply.
CAUTION: Use only stainless steel flex connectors that
are C.S.A. listed.

b.Make sure that your gas supply is turned off! Then con- nect the 1/2" pipe adapter fitting supplied with the stainless steel flex connector to the gas supply stub. Use pipe joint compound
that is resistant to all gasses on the male pipe fitting and tighten securely. DO NOT use pipe joint compound to connect the
Flare Fittings.
c.Slide your Barbecue into place, making sure not to pinch or kink the gas connector.
d.Bring the flex connector around the
e.Connect the flex connector to the Flare Fitting on the Mani- fold Inlet. Support the Manifold Inlet Fitting with a wrench to avoid applying excessive torque to the Manifold Assembly while tightening this connection securely. DO NOT use pipe com- pound on Flare Fittings.

b.Carefully place the oven on the frame so the Backburner gas supply tubes fit into lid stop elbows on the oven (Figure 6). The front lip of the oven may sit on the face of the Barbecue.
c.Hand tighten the compression nuts onto the lid stopelbows
d. Use a wrench and turn the elbow (lid stop) to push the oven to the back of the Barbecue frame (Figure 5).
e.Tighten the compression nuts on the Backburner gas supply tubes to the elbow lid stops. Do not use pipe joint compound on these connections.
f.Place the right Backburner electrode wire through the oven just in front of the elbow (lid stop). Secure with nut and screw. Plug the electrode wire into the Backburner electrode (see Parts List diagram on page 3). Make sure the electrode wire does not touch the Backburner. Repeat above instructions for left Backburner electrode wire.
