Gas Requirements GENERAL INFORMATION Never attach an unregulated gas line to the appliance. Connection to an unregulated gas line can cause excessive heat or fire. Verify the type of gas supply to be used – either Natural Gas (N.G.) or Liquid Propane (L.P.) – and make sure the serial plate agrees with that of the supply. Conversion kits are available separately for an additional cost which will enable you to convert your grill from L.P. to N.G. or to convert your grill from N.G. to L.P.
Gas Requirements INSTALLATION OF NATURAL GAS REGULATOR 1. The Natural Gas regulator has been attached to the manifold. Attach the gas hose to the regulator. (See Fig. 3) 2. Link a quick-connect fitting to the hose by hand. Quick-connect fitting not included. (See Fig. 4) Fig. 3 Fig.
Gas Requirements L.P. GAS INSTALLATION Frigidaire Gas Grills that are set to operate with L.P. gas come with a high capacity hose and regulator assembly. (Note: Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill or a replacement pressure regulator and hose assemblies specified by Frigidaire). This assembly is designed to connect directly to a standard 20 lb. L.P. cylinder. L.P. cylinders are not included with the grill. L.P.

Pre Operation Leak Testing GENERAL INFORMATION Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible shifting during shipment, installation or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks and immediately check the system if the smell of gas is detected. BEFORE TESTING Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames.
Lighting the Grill BEFORE LIGHTING Do not attempt to “Light” the grill if the odor of gas is present!! Important! Before Lighting... Check the gas supply line for cuts, wear or abrasion. Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting. GRILL BURNER LIGHTING Lighting the Grill with the Electronic Igniter 1. Make sure all control knobs are in the “OFF” position. 2. Open the gas supply valve located on top of your L.P. tank. ATTENTION: When turning the L.P.
Lighting the Grill MATCH LIGHTING 1. If the burner will not light after several attempts then the burner can be match lit. 2. If you have already attempted to light the burner with the igniter, allow 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate. Keep your face and hands as far away from the grill as possible. Insert a lit extended match or lighter through the cooking grids to the burner. Press the control knob and rotate left to the “HIGH” setting, and continue to press the knob until the burner ignites.
Using the Grill GRILL LOCATION Do not use the grill in garages, breezeways, sheds or any enclosed areas or under overhead combustible construction. Never operate the grill in enclosed areas as this could lead to a carbon monoxide buildup, which could result in injury or death. Place the grill on a level surface. Avoid moving the grill while it is operation. NOTE: The grill will operate best if it is not facing directly into the wind.
Care & Maintenance DRIP TRAY The drip tray located below the grill, inside the cart, should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy buildup of debris. NOTE: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean. Important: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless it is covered (cover sold separately). Rain water can collect inside the grill, the grill cart or the drip tray if left uncovered.
Troubleshooting Your Grill GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur: • The smell of gas. • Flames appearing mostly yellow. (Some yellow at the tips is OK) • The grill will not get hot enough. • Burners make a snapping noise. • The grill heats unevenly. SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING Spider and insects can nest in the burners of this or any other grill and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner.
Troubleshooting Your Grill PROBLEM SOLUTION Grill will not light with a match or low heat with dial set to “High” position. • Is your gas supply fully turned on? • If this is an L.P. grill is there gas in your tank? Check your gas level. • If this is an L.P. grill, shut off gas supply, disconnect gas line at tank; reconnect the line to the tank. • Make sure all the knobs are in the off position. Open the gas supply valve on the L.P. tank very slowly 1/4 turn, then open fully (at least two full turns).
