Gas Supply Requirements
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.
Testing below 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) or 14 inches (35.5 cm) W.C. (gauge) or lower:
•The grill 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 Outdoor Grills
(combustible construction)
Natural Gas:
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.
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

IMPORTANT: Grill 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 Customer Experience 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 grill 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.
NATURAL GAS:
Set pressure: 4 inches (10.2 cm) W.C.
Supply pressure:
L.P. GAS:
Operating pressure: 11 inches (27.9 cm) W.C.
Supply pressure: 11 to 14 inches (27.9 to 35.5 cm) W.C.
Line pressure testing:
Testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) or 14 inches (35.5 cm) W.C. (gauge):
•The grill 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).
The supply line shall be equipped with an approved shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same area as the grill 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 from a local L.P. gas supply:
Conversion must be made by a qualified person. The qualified natural gas technician shall provide the L.P. gas supply to the selected grill 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. 4396311 must be used. Follow Instructions included with the kit.
L.P. gas conversion using an L.P. fuel tank:
To convert to L.P. gas, the L.P. Gas Conversion Kit No. 4396311 must be used. Follow Instructions included with kit.
An L.P. gas cylinder, not larger than 20 pounds, must be purchased separately.
