JNR & WNK Assembly Instructions
C. Ignitor Wire Connection (Fig. 21)
1. Tip the grill on its back (or upside down) and attach
the control panel ignitor wire to the terminal stick-
ing out from the bottom of the grill. Be careful not
to crack the delicate porcelain insulator.
D. Orifice Engagement (Fig. 22)
At the top end of each valve there is a tiny gas open-
ing known as the orifice. Gas exits the orifice and
enters a venturi where it mixes with air coming in from
the side air shutter. The proper mixture of air and gas
produces a clean blue flame at the burner.
Make sure the valve orifice on the control panel aligns
with the burner venturi tube correctly. The orifice
should fit into the venturi tube ¼" to ½" inches as
shown below.
WARNING! Always check the alignment of the orifice
and the venturi whenever the grill has been moved.
Make sure that the orifice fits into the venturi tube
1/4" to 1/2". Failure to make this connection may
cause fire and result in serious body injury or dam-
age to your grill.
Step 2: Connect the gas supply line (Fig. 23)
A. For LP-Gas Tank and LP Cart Models:
1. Pass the Gaslow Regulator Hose through the
hose clamp ring and screw the ring to the front of
the left leg.
2. Connect the regulator end of the hose to the LP-
Gas Tank. Tighten securely and leak test both
connections. See Leak Testing on page 23.
B. For Natural Gas Cart, Deck/Patio and In-
Ground Mounts Using 12 foot Hose:
Connect one end of the supplied 12 foot hose to the
grill valve connection behind the control panel. Then,
connect the quick disconnect valve on the hose to the
gas supply line connection. Tighten securely and
leak test both connections. See Leak Testing on
page 23.
Do not al-
low the
gas hose
to come in
contact
with the
bottom of
the grill
head.
C. For Deck/Patio & In-Ground Mounts Using 30"
Flexible tubing. (Fig. 24)
Connect the 30" flexible tube to the incoming gas
supply using a 3/8" flare coupling (not supplied). At-
tach the other end to the grill valve connection behind
the control panel. To tighten securely use two
wrenches. Hold valve joint with one wrench and
tighten the hose fitting with second wrench. After
Tighten leak test both connections. See Leak
Testing on page 23.
Do not use compound
or Teflon tape on flare
fittings.
