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 L.P. GAS INSTALLATION Amana™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 Amana™). 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. Cylinders can be purchased separately at an independent dealer.
Pre Operation Leak Testing GENERAL INFORMATION Although all internal 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.
BEFORE LIGHTING Lighting the Grill 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 electronic igniter 1.
