WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International 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.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Gas Supply Line Pressure Testing
Testing above ½ psi (3.5 kPa) or 14" (35.5 cm) WCP (gauge):
The infrared sear 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 ½ psig (3.5 kPa).
Testing below ½ psi (3.5 kPa) or 14" (35.5 cm) WCP (gauge) or lower:
The infrared sear 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 ½ psig (3.5 kPa).
Natural Gas:
Infrared sear burners are equipped for use with Natural gas. They are
Infrared sear burners are set for natural gas use and have a pressure regulator with ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) female pipe threads.
IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149.1 - latest edition.

IMPORTANT: The infrared sear burner must be connected to a regulated gas supply.
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.

Gas Conversion:
No attempt shall be made to convert the infrared sear 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.
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this infrared sear burner must be used. The inlet (supply) pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper operation:
LP Gas:
Set pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP
Inlet (supply) pressure: 11" to 14" (27.9 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP
Natural Gas:
Set pressure: 4" (10.2 cm) WCP
Inlet (supply) pressure: 7" to 14" (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP maximum.
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet (supply) pressure.
Burner Requirements for High Altitude
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level. Orifice conversion is required. See “Assistance or Service” section to order.
The supply line shall be equipped with an approved shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same area as the 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.

LP gas conversion from a local LP gas supply:
Conversion must be made by a qualified person. A qualified natural gas technician shall provide the LP gas supply to the selected side burner location in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z2223.1/NFPA54 latest edition, and local codes.
To convert to LP gas, the LP Gas Conversion Kit Number W10118099 must be used. Follow Instructions included with kit.
LP gas conversion using a 20 lb LP fuel tank:
To convert to LP gas, the LP Gas Conversion Kit Number W10118099 must be used. Follow Instructions included with kit.
A 20 lb (9.1 kg) LP gas fuel tank must be purchased separately.
