1. Make gas connections.
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the
side burner to the existing gas line.
■If local codes permit, use an outdoor flexible stainless
steel tubing gas connector, design-certified by CSA
International, to connect the side burner to the rigid gas
supply line. A ⁵⁄₈" diameter line is recommended. Using a
wrench to tighten, connect the gas supply to the side
burner. Use pipe-joint compound on all non-flared male
threads. Do not kink or damage the flexible connector
when moving the side burner.
■Pipe-joint compounds suitable for use with LP gas must
be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape.
2. Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
3. Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a
leak. Correct any leak found.
Plug in Side Burner
NOTE: This built-in outdoor side burner comes with a large
5000mAmp power transformer/plug assembly for the side
burner igniters. Follow the instructions for plugging in and
mounting the power transformer. Keep any electrical supply cord
away from any heated surfaces.
1. Plug the single-prong plug into the receptacle on the left
underside of the side burner.
2. Locate or build a non-combustible surface inside the island
cabinet to mount the power transformer. It must be to the left
side of the side burner at a minimum of 3" (7.6 cm) from the
side and 4" (10.2cm) below the bottom of the side burner.
3. Mount the power transformer to the mounting surface using
4# 8 screws (not supplied) that are the proper type and length
for the transformer and the mounting surface. It must be
mounted with the wire for the single-prong plug upward or
toward the side burner.
NOTE: The cord must be properly mounted with a cord
retention device so that its 3-prong plug will not touch the
ground when it is unplugged.
